grown. Tlie flow^ers are a pure white, very double and freely produced.

silvery foliage. Pitt. Sc. 
CINERARIA. (See cut.) Tender perennial. One of the most gorgeoua 
house plants that can be grown. The seed germinates quickly, and strong, 
thrifty plants may bo had in two or three months from time seed is sown. 
A good plan is to keep the plants in a cool location during the stunmer 
months, and they wiU then produce an abundance of bloom during the fall.

pink and carmine^jyv-liile some are beautifully shaded and marked with

CLEriATlS. (See cut.) Perennial. Undoubtedly one of the handsomest 
class of climlwrs that can be grown. Many of the larger flowering vari- 
eties of Jackman's type have been known to measure 6 to 6 inches in 
diameter. Tliey are herbaceous perennials, but require protection in the 
Northern states during the printer months. It is a good plan to start the 
seed in the house and transplant to the garden during the early summer. 
Clematis a<!ed gemiiuates slowly. 
Paniculata. Introduced two or three years ago and has proven to be 
one of the most valuable varieties for general cultivation, as ft grows very 
?uickly and -will often attain a height of 10 or 12 feet in a single season 
rom seed. The vine is of such strong, vigorous, hardy habit that it is 
seldom troubled with insects of any kind. When in bloom the foliage ia 
completely hidden beneath large clusters of pure white, sweet-scented 
blossoms. It is a magnificent plant for verandas or any other position 
where a climber is re<iuired. It will sucoecKl equally well in any location, 
but .should be given good soil to obtain the best results. Pkt. lOc.

COSnOS. (See cut opposite page.) Annual. 
Early Summer Flowering, Mixed. The 
Cosmos has developed into one of our most 
beautiful garden annuals, and has been ap- 
propriately called "The Glory of Autumn." 
Unfortunately they do not bloom until 
quite late, andsometimes incolder Northern 
states early frost catches them before they 
are fully in flower. This new strain of early- 
flowering Cosmos begins to bloom scatter- 
ingly in June, the quantity increasing 
gradually until August, and from that time 
until frost the plants arc amass of flowers. 
The plants are dwarf er than the late-flower- 
ing Oo-smos. The colors are white, crimson 
and pink, which we offer only in mixture, t
