Defiance Balsam , Lady Slipper . 
The most perfect in form and largest double floweied 
Balsam yet developed, and by careful growth and selec- 
tion, has attained a standard that will be found hard to 
improve. The mixture which I offer is composed in nearly 
equal proportions of eight colors: Rose, Rose-White 
Spotted, rink, Scarlet, White Tinted Violet, White 
Spotted, Scarlet White Spotted and Purple; each having 
been grown separately. Pkt., 50 seeds , 5 cts. 
Balsam , Good Mixed. 
A splendid strain, good colors und large double flowers; 
not equal to “Defiance,” but gives good satisfaction. Pkt., 
JO seeds , Sets. 
Mrs. Tillie Slemmer, Macedon, Ohio, March '23, 1903. Writes:— 
I raised some of your Dahlias and Asters last year and they 
were fine. I now want to try more this year. 
BEAN , 
SCARLET RUNNER. 
A Favorite Old-Fash- 
ioned Climber. 
One of the very few 
beans that are both orna- 
mental and useful. It 
grows rapidly to a height 
of ten or twelve feet, and 
is covered from July un- 
til heavy frost with clus- 
ters of beautiful scarlet 
flowers. Pkt., 10 seeds, 
4 cts. 
FOR WINTER 
BLOOMING. 
Do not lail to get 
a supply of Chinese 
Primroses for winter- 
blooming. Do this 
during July and 
August, so they may 
become well estab- 
lished before cold 
weather. Keep in 
partial shade and 
water moderately. 
A dozen plants well 
grown will yield a 
whole windowful 
of bloom during 
winter. 
Mabel Blevins, Manches- 
ter, 111., Mar. 10, 1903: I 
had seeds from you last 
season and 1 never saw 
raised. 
Bachelor's Button. 
Bachelor's Button , Double. 
It has been so perfected that fully eighty 
per cent of the flowers are double and semi- 
doublo; aro also increased in size and pre- 
sent many bright colors and distinct mark- 
ings whicn have hitherto been unknown in 
this old-fashioned favorite flower. Pkt., 50 
seeds, 4 cts. 
Iva Gearhart, Tower Hill, Til., March '23, 1903, 
Writes:— My seeds all did well I received last 
year. I cot 18 roses out of 80 seeds, and had 
several different Dahlias and Nasturtiums.
