CANDYTUFT. 
One of the oldest and most popular and useful little flowers is 
the Candytuft. It blooms long and freely, is perfectly hardy, so 
that most kinds may be sown in the earliest spring, or even in the 
autumn. Its neat little clusters of flowers are quite a treasure to 
the bouquet maker, particularly the white. The prevailing colors- 
are white and purple, though some new kinds are verging on the- 
crimson and carmine. 
Candytuft, mixed colors, 5 cents. 
CARNATION (Perennial). 
The most magnificent of all the Dianthus family. Flowers- 
large, beautiful and delightfully fragrant: a rival of the Rose. 
Seed may be sown under glass in the spring, or in the open ground, 
and the second summer they will flower. Some will prove single^ 
others semi- double, and these can be pulled up as soon as they 
show flower. Young plants are perfectly hardy, but when old 
they are injured in the winter. A succession of young plants 
should be procured, either from seeds or from layers, every year- 
Carnation, extra fine double mixed, 25 cents. 
CONVOLVULUS (Morning Glory). 
Convolvulus major, the old 
Morning Grlory.is the best known- 
and most popular annual climb- 
er we possess. The seeds germ- 
minate so readily that they can 
be grown in the garden in any 
I corner where the j)lants are 
I needed, and almost at any time. 
It is important that support 
should be supplied as soon as the- 
young plants show a disposition 
to run, for if this is neglected too 
long, they will not readily at- 
tach themselves. 
Convolvulus minor nas a trail- 
ing habit, each plant covering a- 
space of two feet or more in 
• diameter. The flowers are about two -thirds the size of the Morn- 
ing Glory, and a bed of them forms a beautiful mass. Like the 
climling Morning Glory, the flowers close in the afternoon. 
Convolvulus, major, mixed, 5 cents. 
Convolvulus, minor, mixed, 5 cents. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM. 
The great demand for the annual varieties has brought the 
Chrysanthemums into general favor. Seed sown in the spring 
will produce large and vigorous plants by fall, and will give a 
profusion of tine flowers. The seed germinates quickly, and the 
plants make a rapid growth. 
Clirysautliemum, annual varieties, mixed, 5 cents. 
Chrysanthemum, Carinatum-Tricolor, a very showy 
variety; the flowers are a pure golden yellow, with a purplish, 
scarlet centre, and the disk a dark brown; 10 cents. 
COCKSCOMB. 
The Cockscomb is so named because it resembles the comb of 
that bitd. There are several colors, red, orange and yellow, but 
the bright reds are the best. These combs are often grown to a 
foot or more across the top. Vick's New Japan Cockscomb far 
excels eyeiy other variety in the varied forms and beauty of the 
combs, and the brilliancy of their color. 
Vick's Japan Cockscomb, an entirely new and distinct, 
and a very beautiful variety, 10 cents. 
Allow me to compliment you on the quality of your seeds^ 
and the manner in which they were packed.
