Vick’s Violet King. This Aster is the peer of the grandest Chrysanthemum, 
with the advantage of easy culture and continuous and prolific blooming: 
throughout a long season. The plants are of the same vigorous habit 
and luxur.ant growth as the late branching variety, but in form of 
flower is entirely distinct. The petals somewhat resemble the quilled; 
varieties, hut are much larger and broader, those in the center being 
peculiarly twisted and incurved completely covering the crown. The 
bloom is large, full and very double, many of the flowers measuring five- 
inches in diameter. The color is a rich shade of violet. Per pkt. 15 ct3. ' 
One pkt. each of the new varieties for 35 cts. 
(lew Orenid-Fiowered Sweet Peas. 
This distinct type is the largest >n size of all Sweet Peas. The flowers'- 
are of unusual size and substance, of a wavy and fluted appearance and 
produce their large beautifully formed flowers on long stout stems. 
Countess Spencer. A grand large flower of fine form and beautiful coloring. 
The flowers are not only of very large size, but are distinct in having 
the outer edges of the standard and wings beautifully crumpled or wav- 
ed. The standard is broad and tall; the wings are broad, well spread, 
and held erect. The coloring is a silvery white, suffused with soft rose- 
pink, which deepens at the outer edges. The plant is a strong vigorous 
grower, and the large flowers are usually borne three and four on a 
stem. Per pkt. 10 cts. 
Evelyn Byatt. Without doubt the richest colored Sweet Pea yet introduced. 
The standard is a rich orange-salmon, while the wings are slightly 
deeper in tone. The whole flower has a rich fiery orange color, which 
is decidedly attractive. Per pkt. 10 cts. 
Gladys Unwin. A large hold flower with striking upright crinkled or wavy 
standards and broad wings. The flower is somewhat similar to Coun- 
tess Spencer, but several shades deeper in its lovely pink color. Per 
pkt. 10 cts. 
Helen Lewis. A grand orchid-flowering variety of the Countess Spencer 
type. The orange rose wings roll and fold; the standard is reflexed, 
showing the distinctly fluted effect, and is of an intense rich crimson 
orange color. The flowers are of very large size, the standards fre- 
quently measuring two inches across. Per pkt. 10 cts. 
Helen Pierce. This variety, while not of the orchid flowering type might be 
called the first of a new Gloxinia-flowered type. The color is a bright 
blue, mottled on pure white. It does not show any suggestion of stripe, 
but uniformly marbled or peppered with the color. This peculiar col- 
oring resembles that of the blue mottled Gloxinia. It bears three and 
frequently four fibwers on a stem; of good size and perfect form. Per 
pkt. 10 cts. 
John Ingman. This is the deepest color existing in this grand new race. 
The beautifully fluted flowers, of truly gigantic size, are a rich carmine 
rose in the standard, with wings of a deep rosy pink. The effect is that 
of a self color. The rich warm shade is both bright and pleasing, of 
strong growth and the vines bloom profusely. Per pkt. 10 cts.
