balloons. Pkt. 7c; V 2 oz. 14c; oz. 25c. 
Balsam Apple

preserved in alcohol, makes a most useful liniment. Foliage 
gracefully cut and although tender annuals, the vines run 10 feet 
or more during the season. Pkt. 8c; Vi oz. 16c; oz. 50c. 
Balsam or Lady’s Slipper 
DEFIANCE MIXED—A quick growing annual, with brilliantly 
colored flowers, borne along the stem, among the leaves; fre¬ 
quently whole upper part of plant is a mass of color. 
Height, 20 to 30 inches. Is of easiest culture, and suc¬ 
ceeds in any rich soil. My mixture is composed of 
nearly equal proportions of eight colors. Pkt. 10c; 
Vi oz. 32c; oz. 90c.

Bean—Scarlet Runner 
It grows rapidly to a height of 10 &r 12 feet, and is 
covered from July until heavy frost with clusters of beau¬ 
tiful scarlet flowers. The vine is so graceful and of such 
rapid growth as to render it one of the best for arbors, 
fences, trellises, etc. Pkt. 6c. 
Bird of Paradise 
The color of the flower is a golden yellow, it measures 
2 Vz inches across, and is produced in very large trusses. 
The most beautiful part of the flower is the large pistils 
which are spread out in fan-like form and are of bright 
crimson color. The foliage is also highly decorative. If 
the seeds are started early it will produce blooms in great 
profusion the first year. Pkt. 10c; Vi oz. 48c. 
Balloon Vine 
Balsam Apple 
Haines Blue Bird Flower 
Haines Blue Bird Flower 
Always in Bloom—Beautiful Color—Easy to Grow 
(CENTAUREA)—The finest, of any of the Blue 
Flowers which are so beautiful in the flower gar¬ 
den. This new flower is easily grown from seed, 
and comes into bloom quickly, and will continue 
to blossom all summer if the flowers are kept 
picked. This is an annual but will come up the 
following spring from self sown seed. Perfectly 
double and of a dark blue color, and I cannot rec¬ 
ommend it too highly. There are so few flow¬ 
ers that are wonderfully blue, that my new Blue 
Bird Flower, will fill a place in many gardens 
which have always needed this color. Those of 
my customers who grew this flower last summer 
were delighted with it. Can be used as a bou¬ 
tonniere, and being a full double flower, it takes 
very few to make a nice bouquet. Grows about 
3 feet high. Pkt. 10c; Vs oz. 32c; 1/2 oz 90c 
Texas Blue Bonnet 
A native of the Southern states but easily grown 
anywhere. The flowers grow freely producing nice 
long terminal spikes of light blue making fine cut 
flowers as well as showy flower beds. They are 
without question the finest of the entire Lupins 
family. Pkt. 10c; Vs oz. 22c; V 2 oz. 65c. 
Giant Frost-Proof Burning Bush 
Very Ornamental and Easily Grown 
Twice the size and much more hardy and frost 
resistant than the common, which will die after the 
first frost, but the new kind remains beautiful 
and showy until New Year and often is the only 
living plant in the garden. Annual 3 feet. Pkt. 
8c; Vb oz. 16c; Vb oz. 46c. 
Burbank’s Molten Fire 
Huge Tufts of Flaming Fire Red Color 
Nothing can compare with this new hardy annual for 
abundance and brilliancy of color. About August first 
you will have a bushy plant more than three feet high 
with broad, bronzy-crimson coleus-like leaves, of a clear, 
glistening, fiery rose crimson, increasing in size and abun¬ 
dance until the whole plant is illuminated with huge tufts 
of flaming fire which can be seen for half a mile. These 
retain their brilliance for three months or more. Very 
easily grown. Pkt. 15c; Vs oz * 68c.

annual flower which will grow and blossom ^within a few 
weeks from time seed is planted, and continue in blos¬ 
som all summer and fall. Flowers are of good size, mostly
