origin and for beds and boxes is certainly

large as some, are beautifully striped,

ever seen. Kvery reader of our catalogue 
who grows flowers should secure a

CROTOLARIA RETUSA. 
This is sometimes called the **Oolden Bush Pea" and 
'•Florida Battle Box." It is a free flowering annual 
that IS comparatively unknown and should be more e:^- 
tcnsi^'ely grown, as it produces rich golden yellow, 8we«!t 
pca-ltke blossoms in great spikes and makes a most showj 
appearance. It is invaluable for growing in pots in 
houses or for summer blooming in open gronnd, A good 
plan is to start the seeds in window boxes early in the 
spring, first soaking them in warm water for a few hours. 
This plant succeeds best in a warm location where it will 
receive plenty of sunlight. Pkt- lOc 
SINGLE PETUNIA— BLOTCHED BEAUTY. 
This is a beautiful little Petunia of the aUowiest markings. The plant is of bnshy, com- 
pact, branching habit, and the flowers are of a snow-white, marked and starred with scarlet 
and crimson. This strain we have secured from large Petunia growers in Europe, and we 
consider it a decided addition to the list of free blooming annuals. For massing jn a garden 
it is very desirable. Pkt. lOc.
