NEW GIANT - PEOWERING MARSH- 
MAEEOWS (Hibiscus). A wonderfully 
improved form of our greatly admired 
native Marshmallow, or Rosemallow, in 
which flowers of enormous size, frequent- 
ly 10 to 12 inches in diameter, have been 
developed. The colorings have also been

MOMOREICA. Summer climbers of rapid 
growth, with firmly cut, ornamental foli- 
age, producing numbers of curious, spiny, 
orange-yellow fruits in the fall. When 
ripened, these fruits split open and dis- 
close the large, bright, scarlet - colored 
seeds. The ripe fruits placed in alcohol 
make an excellent liniment for cuts, 
burns, or bruises. Also known as Bal- 
sam ina, or Balsam Apple. Pkt. 5 cts. 
NASTURTIUM 
Nasturtiums, both climbing and dwarf, 
are of the easiest culture, and anyone de- 
sirous of having a display of the most 
brilliant flowers, without any trouble be- 
yond sowing the seed, should select this de- 
lightly family, as they will give off their 
best efforts through the brightest of the 
summer, merely needing the seed-balls 
picked off. If these are permitted to ma- 
ture, the beauty of the plant is soon lost. 
TOM THXTMB NASTURTIUMS. Plant seed 
one inch deep in rows 1 to 2 ft. apart 
when the trees are starting out in leaf. 
When well started to grow, the young 
plants should be thinned out or trans- 
planted to stand 10 to 12 inches apart. 
Pkt. I) cts.; oz. 15 cts. 
TAIiIi NASTURTIUMS. The rows of tall 
Nasturtiums should be at least four feet 
apart to allow them room to spread, and 
seed should be planted 4 to 6 inches apart 
in drills one inch deep, early in the 
spring, when the trees arc starting out in 
leaf. Firm the soil well after the seed 
is planted to insure proper germination. 
The young plants should be thinned to 
stand six inches apart when well started 
to grow. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 15 cts. 
VARIEaATED.IiRAVRI) TA1.1. NASTUR- 
TIUMS, Variegated Queen. The first of 
this new Royal-Race, which is just as 
vigorous in growth and as free flowering 
as the plain-leaved Nasturtiums. Every 
leaf is variegated with yellow, white, and 
green, but in such differing degrees that 
the plants present a most varied aspect, 
particularly if each plant is given ample 
space either to climb or simply trail on 
the ground. Some of the leaves are one- 
half to two-thirds white and yellow. The 
flowers are a rich scarlet-maroon, deepest 
at base of petals. Pkt. 10 els.: oz. 
20 cts. 
PANSIES. The Pansy is, without doubt, the 
most popular of all flowering plants and 
is grown over the widest extent of coun- 
try. Pansies bloom most freely and pro* 
duce largest and finest flowers in coOi 
moist locations, or during early spring 
and late fall months. They flower, how- 
ever, with great freedom, even during the 
hottest and driest summer, from seed 
sown in open ground early in spring, and 
continue in bloom until checked by se- 
vere frosts of early winter. Seed germi- 
nates best while soil is still cool and 
moist. We would advise sowing in shal- 
low drills in seed-bed early in spring 
when the trees are starting out in leaf, 
and again in September when the weather 
becomes cool. As above stated, plants 
from the spring-sown seed flower with 
great freedom throughout spring, sum- 
mer, and fall, while the stocky young 
plants grown in fall and winter produce 
the largest and finest flowers -early the 
following spring.
