MISS C. H. LIPPINCOTT, 319 AND 
WATER LILIES. 
Many persons have been deterred from attempting the 
culture of water plants by the Idea that a special green- 
house and tank must be built for their accommodation- 
true, the various varieties may be had in flower almost all 
the year round in such a structure, yet they can be grown 
with equal success out-of-doors in ponds or streams of shal- 
low water having muddy bottoms, or in aquariums, tubs 
or tanks in the house.

The flowers, which are bright sulphur yellow, measure 
from six to ten inches across, and are delicately per- 
fumed. Pkt. 8 cts

stems; very fragrant. Pkt. 6 cts. 
A WILD FLOWER GARDEN. 
(CHOICE MIXED FLOWER SEEDS.)

flowers, producing a constant and varied bloom the whole

extensive collection than their means will permit. In no 
other manner can so many seeds be obtained for such a 
small cost. Pkt. 6 cts.; oz. 16 cts. 
WAS UNFORTUNATE. 
Julia R. Ways, Porters, Md., norites: — I mas unfortun- 
ate with the seeds bought from you last year. I 
sowed them all in boxes and they came up beauti- 
fully, but were all destroyed by a hailstorm we had 
1I J the early spring. The only plant to survive was 
the Phlox, and from the beauty of its bloom I could 
form some idea of my loss in the destruction of the 
others. I shall be more careful this year and not 
plant all my seed at once. 
VERY BEAUTIFUL. 
Sallle G. Cook, Leesburgh, Ga., writes:— Your flowers 
are very beautiful. I grew many varieties last sea- 
son from your seeds.

in the depth of a wood. It is now reproduced on almost 
every spot of ground surrounding our city homes, to 
heighten the landscape effects and to add a new charm 
and dignity to the residence; and is one of the most at- 
tractive and fascinating features in landscape gardening. 
THAT YOUR LAWN is not particularly ornamental in its 
present garb, is no reason for becoming lax in its care 
and management. 
ft BEAUTIFUL. LAWN, 
With its close velvety turf, is a most essential feature in 
the adornment of all suburban homes — without it the 
finest flowering plants and bedding seem insignificant, 
while with it, handsome grounds are assured, even with 
no other adornment. About April 1st is the best time to 
make a lawn.

gain Collection 1 received last year proved very sat- 
isfactory. In fact. I was agreeably surprised at the 
size and beauty of all. We had seed from four dif- 
ferent seed houses, but yours surpassed them all. 
SUCH THRIFTY FLOWERS. 
Annie C. McDonald, Ironton, Mich., writes:— I sent to 
you last season for seeds, and must tell you they 
gave the greatest satisfaction. I wish you could
