EARLY ELOWERING- 
^Cosmos 
The Cosmos has a beauty distinct from that of any other 
) Jant. Its feathery foliage and the soft but brilliant coloring of 
-ts abundant bloom make it a universal favorite, but the com¬ 
mon varieties are so late that they hardly have time to come 
Into full bloom before they are cut down by frost.

We have secured an early flowering strain which will produce plants that come into bloom the last of July and

^MORNING GLORY 
PHIS plant has been developed to such a state of perfection that it now produces flowers of immense size and almost end 
is s variety ofco.lor and markings. Some of the flowers are brilliant red, or rich blue self-colored, others are equally 
orilliant with broad margins of clear white. Some blossoms are striped and dotted with blue or red on white or lemon yel 
ow ground,, others clouded with blue and red; in fact, one may expect to find some new and exquisitely beautiful markings 
9 very, morning. Not only are the flowers varied but the foliage is equally so; some of it comes plain green, and partis 
mottled with white, and shades of yellow or yellowish green. The plants do not always produce flowers exactly like those 
from which the seed came, and often give different colored blossoms at different times, so we only offer the seed in mixture 
Our seed was saved from a collection of almost unlimited variety in color and marking of both foliage and flowers, and is 
.he very best it is possible to produce ; The seed is sometimes slow to germinate, but if a slight notch is filed or cut in one 
end and the seed soaked a few hours in lukewarm water the plants will come up more quickly. Pkt. 5cts

SWEET PEAS... 
THE EARLIEST 
EXTRA EARLY_ 
—BLANCHE TERRY 
SWEET PEA 
Coming into full bloom TWO WEEKS before other sorts, and flowering profusely 
the whole season. 
\VE are certain that the stock we offer will produce larger, better colored flowers than any other strain of Extra Early 
Sweet Peas. We have carefully compared our Extra Early Blanche Ferry with “Earliest of All” and other strains 
jlalmmg to be earliest” and have found our stock to be superior both in quantity and quality of bloom. Although some 
or the others may produce a single bloom as early as ours, none of them give a single flower earlier and none come into full 
bloom as early The flowers have the bright contrast of color, which has made the Blanche Ferry so popular, the wings 
oemg nearly white while the standard is deep rose pink, becoming more intense near the base. The plants are exceedingly 
? ar ii y, «i’ tK ° rou - s i tloriferou9 and at same time very dwarf, making it particularly desirable for green house culture. 
Inside it occupies less space and gives flowers sooner and in greater abundance than any other Sweet Pea, and it does equally 
w«ll out of doors, needing less trellislng than other kinds; in fact, it can be grown outside with great satisfaction without 
any support whatever. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; h Lb. 20c; Lb. 50c.
