est plant and berry of any variety. Some 
of the berries are six inches in circum-

a largo size. Cameron’s Early is the 
earliest of all strawberries and in other 
respects is a most valuable variety.

every issue. The cover has finely em¬ 
bossed representations of .]ai)an Iris and 
the “Cornflower Aster,” Stokesia cyanea. 
Other colored plates show new vege¬ 
tables. nasturtiums. Cactus Dahlias and 
torch lilies. There are many excellent 
new half-tone illustrations. The Aristo¬ 
crat cweet corn is an extra early variety, 
ripen.iig with Cory, bearing ears eight 
to 10 inches long. The grains are broad 
and the quality very sugary. The Crim- 
sot< Giant radish grows double the size 
of most red forcing radishes and remains 
long in good condition for the table. 
.Many fine novelties in flower seeds and 
plants are listed, including all the really 
promising European offerings. Promi¬ 
nence is given to Stokesia cyanea, a 
neglected native plant of the most useful 
character. It is a hardy perennial, grows 
about 20 inches high, and freely bears 
blue cornflower-like blooms from .Tuly 
until near frost. It is quite new to the 
trade and should be largely planted. 
There is an endless variety of desirable 
hardy plants and the choicest collection 
in existence of flowering aquatic plants.
