STOCKS 
MAMMOTH EARLY BRANCHING 
NICE 
This improved variety is now quite generally 
recognized as the most valuable of all stocks 
for cutting purposes and the most popular for 
general use. If sown early they come into 
flower as early as dwarf 10 week varieties; the 
flowers are larger and the branching habit rend¬ 
ers them invaluable. We list below the choicest 
of the varieties, at 10c per packet: 
Lilac 
Belle of Naples, old rose 
All colors mixed 
Crimson King, brilliant crimson 
Almond Blossom, white tinted carmine 
Light Blue 
DWARF EARLY STOCKS MIXED. Large flow¬ 
ering, brilliant shades and among the earliest 
to bloom. PKT., 75 SEEDS. 
DRESDEN PERPETUAL (Cut, and Come Again). 
Rose. Best for cutting. 
PKT., 5c; 1-16 OZ., 35c 
I have never found any stocks like your 
dwarf early.

NOVELTIES FROM SOUTH AFRICA 
URSINIA ANETHOIDES NEW HYBRIDS. We 
predict an exceptional future for this glorious 
flower. The plants make bushes 2 feet through 
and carry a hundred or more fully expanded 
flowers at one time. Foliage is light and feath¬ 
ery with flowers well above the leaves. Stems 
are of sufficient length for decorative or vase 
work and cut blooms last splendidly. The petals 
are of a delightful rich orange tone and the 
central coloring surrounding the disc shows 
wonderful variations and tone from ruby red 
to dark purple, spangled with jewel like dots. 
These plants are exceptionally easy to grow. 
From seeds sown indoors in April, plants com¬ 
mence to flower in June and continue to Sep¬ 
tember. Fading flowers should be removed to 
prevent plants going to seed and so allow suc¬ 
cessive flowers to attain their full size. The 
very daintiness and exquisite blendings of color¬ 
ings must appeal to all flower lovers. We are 
more than pleased to be in a position to offer 
seeds. PACKET, 20c.
