(^euta ureas. 
For an early summer Harden flower nothing surpasses 
these superb new Centaureas. Each plant produces scores 
of flowers, which are borne on long, wiry stems, and arc ex¬ 
ceedingly graceful, while for cutting, for vases, or corsage 
wearing, no flower can surpass them. Flowers 3 to 3 inches 
across, of the most lovely texture and superb fragrance. 
Sow seed in open ground very early; the plants will soon bo 
up and blooming and continue for several months. Their 
beauty and value may be judged when we say that they are 
superior in every way to Carnations, not only in beantv and 
usefulness for putting, but in fragrance as well. They grow 
like a weed in any situation. Per pkt.

with contrasting eyes, stripes or featherings. In habit 
Wiese new Phlox are erect, rather than recumbent, and 
bear their velvety blossoms in great profusion, making 
them unrivalled for bedding. Tliev arc of dwarf, stout, 
branching habit, always standing erect, and tlie individ¬ 
ual flowers the size of a twenty dollar gold piece. Tim 
grandest of all Phloxes .10 
Childs' Star— Nothing else in the Phlox line has ever 
created such a sensation as the unique Carman strains of 
Fimbriata, Cuspidata, and Star of Quedlingberg, when 
introduced a few years ago. Tlieir large size, and their 
curiously pointed, fringed and toothed blooms- utterly 
unlike anything else— took the floral world by storm. 
We have hybridized all these, together and secured a 
unique strain of a hundred colors and every conceivable 
shape ..
