DIANTHUS (Pink) 
The varieties of Dianthus known as 
Chinese Pinks and Japan Pinks are among 
the most brilliant of our garden flowers. 
Plants of the tall sorts are from 12 to 15 
inches in height; the dwarfs make low, 
compact plants. Seed may be sown in the 
spring, under glass or in a seed-bed. 
Dlanthas Cliinenses, best double 
varieties, mixed, 5 cents. 
Heddewigii (Japan Pink), large 
,:flower, three inches in diameter, beautiful, rich colors, finely 
marked, 10 cents. 
DOUBLE DAISY. 
Every one knows the daisy. Give it a cool, partially shaded 
place. Sow seed very early. The flowers are abundant in early 
spring, and may be made to flower later by the use of water. 
Plants can be removed safely even when in flower. The plants 
: should be about six inches apart when set, so that when in perfec- 
tion they will about cover the ground. 
Double Daisy, best German seed, mixed colors, 20 cents, 
White, constant, 20 cents. 
HELIANTHUS (Sunflower). 
Helianthus is the well-known old Sunflower: coarse, tall 
plants, from four to eight feet in height; bright yellow flowers. 
The best double varieties produce a \ ery good effect among shrub- 
bery, and when used as screens, etc. The sunflower is hardy and 
sometimes produces itself from its own seed. Large quantities of 
seeds are produced by the single varieties, and they are considered 
valuable feed for poultry. 
Sew Mammoth Russian, single, very large, 5 cents. 
Common Single, usually grown for the seed; per pound, 
40 cents ; 5 cents. 
HOLLYHOCK. 
A good, double, clear white Hollyhock is a very good substi- 
tute for a Camelia or a white Rose, as a center of a bouquet. In 
situations suitable for tall floweis, we know of nothing better than 
the Hollyhock; and yet the improved varieties do not grow very ^ 
high, from four to five feet being the average. The Hollyhock is 
biennial. 
Hollyhock, Double, very double and fine, from the best 
named collections in Europe, 10 cents. 
MIGNONETTE. 
Seeds of Mignonette can be sown at any 
season, so that by having pots prepared at 
different times, a succession of flowers can be 
secured, and Mignonette adorn the button hole 
and perfume the house at all limes. Par- 
son's New White has a large flower, more ro- 
bust in growth than other varieties, though the 
Mignonette is grown mostly for its fragrance. 
Mignonette sown early in the garden will give 
flowers through the summer. 
Reseda odorata (Sweet Mignon- 
ette), a well known, fragrant, little hardy 
annual; 5 cents. 
Parsons' New White, a robust Migno- 
nette; flowers larger and showing more white 
parsons' new white, than the common sort; 5 cents. 
The seed bought of you last spring gave good satisfaction. 
The seed was good, also the yield and quality.
