plants in my own garden had as many as one 
hundred blossoms. In California the seed 
should be sown in the open ground in the fall 
or the early part of winter, as it succeeds best 
in this climate when flowering in the winter 
or early spring. If grown during the very hot 
weather the plants become dwarfed and are of 
little value. I regard this as one of the most 
valuable introductions in winter flowering an- 
nuals of late years. Pkt. 10c. 
Delphinium Belladonna Hybrids 
Dimorphotheca aurantiaca hybrida 
splendid new hybrids of this pretty annual 
from South Africa. In habit and flower these 
new hybrids are like the parent plant, but 
range in color from white, lemon yellow, gold- 
en ye"llow, orange to salmon. Pkt. 15c. 
Eschscholtzia, the Mikado 
A new variety, being the result of a cross 
between Eschscholtzia Mardarin and Carmine 
King. The flowers are very large, and the plants 
have all the free blooming qualities of the 
other Eschscholtzias. The color is a brilliant 
orange-crimson, suffused with the lustre of the 
Carmine King, and will be a valuable addi- 
tion to this beautiful class of plants. Pkt. ISc. 
Dimorphotheca Aurantiaca 
Eschscholtzia Thorburni 
This valuable novelty has been pronounced 
by some as the grandest of all the Eschscholt- 
zias. In coloring it is decidedly distinct. The 
unopened buds on the outer side of the petals 
are of an extremely deep rich crimson shade, 
toning down on the inside of the flower to 
bright flame color, and molten gold. The flow- 
ers are larger than most of the other varieties, 
and are produced in great abundance. Pkt. 15c. 
Freesia hybrida Ragionieri 
This is without doubt one of the most re- 
markable novelties of late years. The fragrant 
blossoms are produced in the most exquisite 
shades of rose, pink, blue, purple, violet, yel- 
low, orange and brown, often delicately veined 
and spotted. The culture is the same as for 
the white freesias, and plants can be had in 
bloom in seven or eight months from the seed.

Geum coccineum, Mrs. Bradshaw 
A splendid perennial plant which succeeds 
remarkably well in California and blooms for 
the greater part of the year. The plants grow 
iy2 to 2 feet high and produce a profusion of 
large double bright scarlet flowers. Pkt. 15c.
