BUTZER’S GIANT PANSIES 
BUTZER’S ROSE CITY GIANTS 
The plants distinguish themselves by their robust 
growth, and form compact bushes of round shape, with 
strikingly large, healthy looking foliage. 
The imposing five-spotted flowers which on long, 
vigorous stalks surmount the foliage in the most 
graceful manner, are of enormous size, perfectly round 
form, original structure and unusual substance. The 
individual petals are exceedingly broad and cover each 
other in such a manner as to make the flowers appear 
almost double. With most of the flowers the border 
of every petal being conspicuously undulated and 
curled, which grants the flowers a striking and very 
peculiar appearance, entirely new to this class of 
plants. 
The beauty, brilliancy and richness of color being 
the most striking; also very rare and new tones of 
red and brown are met with in these flowers.

*OENOTHERA 
These open their flowers in the evening and one can 
enjoy a thrill in his garden if he will sit for 15 min¬ 
utes at twilight and watch the Evening Primroses 
(Oenothera) drop their calyx and unfold their petals. 
We have had a plant in our garden. The buds are 
closed when we start the hose going, but before we 
get through, presto! a wealth of large golden blooms 
greets us and bids us “good night.” 
Lamarckiana Evening Primrose, Mixed— y 2 to 2 ft. 
Neat plants, with large, saucer-shaped flowers, white 
or golden-yellow; open at dusk; emit a delightful per¬ 
fume. Pkt. 10c 
Missouriensis (Macrocarpa)—1 ft. Long trailing 
stems with large yellow flowers. Pkt. 10c 
*PENTSTEMON (Beard Tongue) 
They are very showy, growing from 2 feet to 4 feet 
high, are rather bushy and have very long, slender 
spikes which bear many trumpet-shaped flowers with 
hairy throats from whence the name “Beard Tongue” 
comes. 
“Sensation.”—As a bedding plant this takes rank 
with the Petunia, Phlox, etc. It grows about 30 inches 
high, every branch being a spike of large. Gloxinia¬ 
like flowers in a very wide range of bright colors, in¬ 
cluding rose, red, carmine, cherry, pink, lilac, purple, 
etc. Pkt. 15c 
Grandiflora Mixed—A splendid mixture of free 
flowering sorts in a good range of colors. Pkt. 10c 
The Petunia is without a peer among annuals for 
effective summer bedding or indoor culture. They are 
of easy culture, early to bloom and continue through¬ 
out the summer until the first killing frost. No 
other flower produces a great diversity of color, re¬ 
taining their freshness for so long a period. The 
doubles may be perpetuated, if desired, by taking cut¬ 
tings late in the summer, for winter house blooming 
plants. Provide good soil and a sunny location. 
SWISS GIANTS 
A truly magnificent new strain of Giant Pansies, 
more beautiful than any others we have ever seen. 
It produces well rounded, compact plants which are 
literally covered with immense, heavy blossoms of re¬ 
markable substance and texture. The range of color 
is simply remarkable and by far the majority of 
plants bear heavily ruffled and crinkled blooms, car¬ 
ried on long stiff stems. Pkt. 25c; 5 pkts. $1.00; 1/16

ing is unusual and attractive. A solid blue flower with

ferent to other types. The leaves are of giant size

a long time. Pkt. 15c 
PEAONIA M OUT AN (Tree Peony) 
These immense beautiful and well known flowers 
from another source of Japanese pride, are too well 
known to require description. Their present popular¬ 
ity is due to the great improvement in them in recent 
years, their easy culture, the handsome appearance of 
the plant, and the brilliant and striking effect of these 
massive, finely formed and rich colored flowers. The 
attention given to them in Japan and Europe has 
resulted in the production of many notably fine new 
varieties which rank about first for lawns or flower 
borders or shrubby decoration. Sow seed outdoors in 
well pulverized, rich soil, covering about one inch. 
Germination is very slow, taking from 3 to 4 months. 
With ordinary care they will bloom the third year.
