NEW FLOWERS FOR 1921, continued 
Dianthus 
LACINIATUS SPLENDENS. A lovely new strain 
of single China Pinks with extremely large flowers, deeply 
cut and heavily fringed at the edges. The wonderfiil 
color markings are in all shades of pink and red; distinct 
large white centers. 
The plants are ex- 
tremely vigorous, and 
the flowers unusually 
large and on long 
stems. A very pretty 
plant for beds and 
edging and excellent 
for cutting. Pkt. 35c. 
LACINIATUS 
PURPUREUS FL.- 
PL. A peculiarly at- 
tractive new color 
among China Pinks, 
best described as a 
purple-garnet inclin- 
ing to claret. The 
flowers are extremely 
double, and each 
petal is beautifully 
fringed. The stems 
are long and the 
Dianthus laciniatus splendens general effect of 
a bed oi this new 
Dianthus is very effective. Pkt. 50 cts. 
LACINIATUS VIOLACEUS FL.-PL. Extremely 
double, finely fringed flowers of a bright purple-violet 
color, not the dull black-violet shade which already ex- 
isted, but a very nice bright color, which will give a 
welcome enrichment to the collection of Indian Pinks. 
Pkt. 50 cts. 
Coleus Rehneltianus 
A novelty of sterling merit entirely different from all 
other Coleus. Of a creeping habit, the plant forms 
numerous nnmers from 12 to 18 inches long, thickly 
set with tiny leaves % to 1 inch in diameter, of a reddish 
browii color with a green band along the fringed edges. 
Beautifid light blue honey-scented flowers appear in 
great numbers in August, adding greatly to the attrac- 
tiveness of the plant. Magnificent for bedding in the 
open during summer and charming for hanging-baskets 
and vases or as a pot-plant for conservatories and green- 
houses. The seed requires from four to six weeks to 
germinate and should be started in the greenhouse or 
hotbed on bottom heat. Pkt. $1. 
Lilliput Poppy 
{Papaver Rhoeas pumilum) 
Only 12 inches high — wonderfully charming — constantly in 
bloom throughout the summer months 
This new introduction represents a very dwarf class 
of the single-blooming Shirley Poppy. The plants 
attain a height of only 12 inches and form small, close 
bushes, with liglit green, denticulated foliage and upright 
ramification. Each of these 
strikingly handsome Tom 
Thumb tufts develops straight 
peduncles, standing about 2 
inches above the leaves and 
ending in a mass of 60 to 120 
llowers, which means an abun- 
dance of bloom heretofore un- 
iviiown among Poppies. The 
flowers measure about 2 in- 
ches in diameter and the color 
is mostly light and dark rose, 
with golden ycUow anthers. A 
bed, group, or border covered 
with these charming little 
plants offers a strikingly beau- 
tiful sight. Fresh l^looms ap- 
pear daily, which finally pass 
to extremely small seed-pods. 
1 he blooming period lasts all 
through the summer months.

New Miniature Dahlia, Peter Pan 
Peter Pan Dahlia 
Among the many deviat- 
ing forms produced among 
Dahlias, none is more dis- 
till ct than this 
charming new mini- 
ature variety. It is 
really quite unique, 
both in hal)it and 
form of flower. The 
wonderfully compact 
bushes begin to j 
bloom when nearly a I 
foot in height and, 
seen at the latest 
stage, do not exceed 2 feet. 
. The flowers may be de- 
scribed as anemone-shaped, 
with tubular center and 
outspread ray florets. The 
colorings are bright and 
most varied in character, presenting such combina- 
tions as carmine with buff center, mauve with yellow, 
red with orange, pale cream with yellow, purple with 
dark red center and also occasionally self color.s 
The plant is really a little marvel in its way and should 
prove quite a treasure in the garden. Pkt. 75 cts.

flower petals, overlapping each other in a true decora- 
tive dahlia-like fashion. A lovely assortment of colors.
