 extensively for edging and design bedding.

 2V4-inch pots, 75 cts. per doz., 34.50 per 100 



Aurea nana. Bright yellow foliage; the most com- 

 pact and the best variety in its color. 



Brilliantissima. A valuable new Alternanthera, 

 red and yellow in color, with broad leaf. Strong grower. 



Jewel. Comparatively new. Vigorous grower; red 

 shading to crimson, with yellow markings. 



Paronychioides. A most desirable kind of dwarf 

 habit; orange-red and crimson, shaded green. 



Versicolor. Olive, crimson and chocolate; strong, 

 erect growth. 



Antirrhinum • Snapdragon 



For Antirrhinum or Snapdragon, refer to 

 Greenhouse Flowering Plants, as the varieties 

 we are cataloguing are used extensively for green- 

 house flowering as well as for outside bedding. 



Asters 



The Asters are undoubtedly the most popular 

 of the annual plants for the combined purpose of 

 bedding and cutting. We offer the most desir- 

 able types — the Comet, which will flower in mid- 

 summer, and the Late Branching, a fine, free- 

 growing type that will flower during autumn. In 

 separate colors — White, Pink, Crimson, or Deep 

 Blue. Strong plants, 40 cts. per doz., $3 per 100. 



>egonias 



Rex. Mixed varieties. Useful, ornamental-leaved 

 Begonias for window-box and bedding, preferring semi- 

 shade. Each Doz. 100 



From 2, '4 -inch pots $0 10 $0 75 $5 00 



From 3-inch pots 15 i 25 8 00 



Semperflorens Type 



We cannot recommend these varieties too 

 highly for refined bedding effects. They are 

 equally effective in semi-shade or full sun. The 

 bronze foliage combines beautifully with the 

 freely produced flowers, which are always bright 

 and effective in appearance. 



From 2V4-inch pots, 75 cts. per doz., $5 per 100. From 

 3-inch pots, $1 per doz., $8 per 100 



Choice Cannas 



Among bedding plants, there is nothing to 

 compare with the Canna for quick and gorgeous 

 effects, or for producing uniformly good results 

 with comparatively little attention. The Canna 

 enjoys a deep, rich soil with plenty of well- 

 decayed manure and an open, sunny location, 

 although the bronze-leaved varieties show to 

 splendid advantage when grown in partial shade 

 for foliage effect. Planted in large masses or 

 straight rows, the plants should be set 2 feet 

 apart. Small, circular beds require closer plant- 

 ing; 18 to 20 inches will produce an effective 

 planting.

 most satisfactory white; large flower of good texture,
