Hufeld’s Super-giant Daisy 
When the Monstrosa varieties of 
Beilis Perennis, the double English 
Daisy, were developed we thought the 
last stage of improvement of that 
splendid perennial had been reached; 
but here crnnes that German hybrid¬ 
izer, Fritz Hufeld, with a Super-giant 
race that surpasses all others. He calls 
it “Le Grand Fuselier,” and describes 
it as follows: 
“Thisis the biggest English Daisy in exist¬ 
ence. The enormous full-double flowers give 
rather vhe idea of a finely-formed Double 
Aster than that of an English Daisy. The 
first flowers measure from two to two and a 
half inches in diameter, beingborne on strong 
stems a foot in length. This race is unsur¬ 
passed in regard to size and the perfect form 
of the absolutely double flowers.” See eng. 
I supply seeds direct from Mr. Hufeld, 
300 seeds, Pure White, Pure Rose, or in Mix¬ 
ture, 5cents. 
Also Hufeld’s Glory of Frankfort, dark 
red, quilled, the only real dark red Daisy; 
makes a charming border, fine for cutting. 
Hufeld’s Giant Chevreuse, the new 
Italian Daisy, bears bright red flowers of 
enormous size.

A FINE CUT FLOWER 
The new Ainberboa Muricata Rosea is a hardy 
annual that deserves a place in every garden, not 
only as a showy bedding.plant, but to afford flow¬ 
ers for cutting. Plants grow two feet or more in 
height, branch freely, and are covered with lovely 
bloom from July until October. The flowers are 
rosy*pink in color, two to three inches across, borne 
on long stems, and very graceful. See engraving. 
They keep well when cut, and are excellent to work 
into designs or bouquets. Add it to your order. 
50 seeds 5cts. See page 17. 
To Destroy Beetles.— To get rid of the beetles 
that eat the Aster and Dahlia flowers, as also to destroy the 
Mexican Bean beetle, place some Slug-shot in a coarse sack 
and shake over the plants. The thin film of dust thus de¬ 
posited is a complete remedy. “Slug-shot” can be obtained 
at almost any drug store. This is not a paid-for notice, but 
the remedy is so effective I want my friends to know of it. 
TORENIA, Improved Large-flowd. 
In 1876 a beautiful annual was found in Cochin, 
China that proved to be a species of Torenia, and 
it was named Torenia Founrieri, after the discoverer. 
This had charming blue and purple flowers, and was 
a favorite. However, under the skillful hand of flo¬ 
rists it was improved in size, color, and form until 
we have, today, compact plants that bloom with 
greatfreedom, and develop huge flowers of various 
rich colors and variegations. These greatly improv¬ 
ed sorts I offer here as follows: 
Giant Princess of Montenegro, blue, purple, and golden 
yellow. 75 seeds 5cts. 
Giant The Bride, lovely pink and white. 75 seeds 5c. 
Giant Varieties Mixed, 100 seeds 5cts. 
All Torenias can be grown in pots or bedded out. 
They are well adapted for the South, where they 
thrive in the hot sun, or in dry soil that would kill 
many plants. A bed of Torenias seen at a distance 
resemlles a bed of Pansies. The plants start readily 
from seeds and do well in beds or pots. When grown 
in pots they are fine plants for the market. See p. 32.
