GLOXINIA, BENARY’S GIANT 
Mr. Benary’a Improved Strain of Giant Gloxinias is 
of surpassing beauty. The flowers are of enormous size, 
and the new, rich colors and variegations are amazing. 
They are altogether unrivalled. I offer the new-crop 
seeds direct from Mr. Benary, 100 seeds, enough to raise 
from 50 to 100 plants, according to your skill and care, 
for only 5cts. Don’t forget these splendid Gloxinias. 
Dear Mr. Park: I wish to express how wonderful I think 
your flowers are. 1 have ordered seeds and bulbs from different 
places for years, but have never had such happy results as from 
your seeds this year. My pot plants are delightful. My Glox¬ 
inias and all are so beautiful 1 can’t praise them enough to 
my friends. I shall get my seeds from you next year. Mrs. 
Thos. Beyke, Davies Co., Ky. 
Dear Mr. Park: I can very highly recommend your seeds. 
From one packet of seeds I have four different colors of Glox¬ 
inias; large beautiful flowers, ; nd unother which has not bloom¬ 
ed yet. I also have the largest leaved and largest flowered rose 
Cyclamen I ever saw. Mrs. Sarah Bixler, Richland Co., Wis. 
LANTANA, NEW DWARF COMPACT 
The. New Dwarf Compact Large-flowered Ever- 
blooming Lantana is hardly known, although of supe¬ 
rior merit. The plants grow a foot high, dense and 
bushy, and are splendid for either beds or pots, as they 
become globes of rich bloom of the most varied and 
brilliant colors. Started in spring they bloom freely the 
entire season, defying rain and drouth, and even with¬ 
standing the early pinchings of Jack Frost. New-crop 
seeds, finest mixed colors, 5ets. 
Dear Mr. Park: From two packets of your Persicum Cy¬ 
clamen I have 16 nice young plants; and from one packet of 
Lantana I have 12 husky plants. Also from the packet of Poin- 
settia I have 2 plants, one of which is 7 inches high. Eleven 
Freesias came from the two packets of Freesia 3eeds. How 
happy I am watching those infants grow. I wonder sometimes 
if you do not feel my thankfuiness toward you for making these 
things possible; for every time I water them I am reminded 
that it was your graeiousness that enabled me to have them.
