CANNAS 
CARNATIONS 
The delicately rich and grateful odor, and 
perfect outline of the Carnation, secures for it 
a prominent place in all collections of plants, 
either for the house or garden. The plants 
may be potted in September, watered and 
and shaded a few days, and they will go right 
along blooming all winter in a bright sunny 
window. Our mixture embraces a large 
variety of colors and are the cream of the 
standard varieties. 
DOUBLE MIXED, producing many double 
flowers of all shades and colors. 
CASTOR BEAN 
or RICINUS 
The Ricinus has very ornamental foliage and beautiful showy 
fruit. Fine for the center of a bed, as it gives a magnificent 
semi-tropical appearance. Plant seed in open, very rich, deep- 
spaded ground, in a dry situation, as soon as safe in spring. 
Annual. 
ZANZIBARENSIS (Zanzibar Castor Oil Plant.) New and 
distinct. The gigantic leaves, two to two and one-half feet across 
and the great size of the plant, surpass any other known Ricinus. 
We offer four varieties in mixture. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM 
(GARDEN) 
A very showy and effective garden flower. Especially de- 
sirable for cut flowers. These annuals are not the winter flower- 
ing sorts sold by florists. 
CORONARIUM, Double Mixed. 
CANNAS 
In idle hours , 
'Mo tig trees and flowers , 
Where birds siveetly sing , 
Let all care take wing ; 
Let thoughts Divine 
Fill the soul of thine 
And the Spirit of Spring 
Will Happiness bring. 
* CARNATIONS 
For a brilliant show all summer there is no 
plant excelling the Canna ; nothing can exceed 
the beauty and variety of color of these magnifi- 
cent bedding or greenhouse plants. Start the 
seed in heat in February ; the plants will bloom 
by August in the greatest profusion.
