We regret that we cannot give this remarkable novelty 
a full page, instead of being obliged to crowd it into this 
small space. Flowers of this new Eschscholtzia measure 
4 to 6 inches across, as large sometimes as ordinary tea sau¬ 
cers. It is perfectly magnificent, showing the richest yellow 
and bronze brown colors. Pkt., 20c. 
Verbeseqa O cc iderjatlis. 
A most aesthetic and beautiful flower. Grows as freely 
as a Zinnia in any situation, and seed may be sown directly 
tn the open ground. Blooms profusely from June to October' 
the blossoms being large, richest and brightest golden yellow 
in color, closely resembling a Cosmos, and borne on long* 
graceful stems. Seed sown in pots at any time during win¬ 
ter will be up and blooming within a few weeks, the plants 
producing their charming flowers when only a few inches in 
height. For pots it is a most lovable flower. We cannot 
oay too much in praise of this real gem. Everybody will be 
delighted with it. Pkt., 10c.; 3 pkts., 26o. 
These are the most beautiful, unique, and the highest! 
priced Ornamental Shrubs to bo had, hence they are seldomi 
seen. We have secured from Japan this year a quantity of! 
seed saved from all the finest varieties, (of which there are- 
hundreds,) from which our customers can grow a fine lot at 
little expense. When small they make most charming pot 
plants, the varied colors and patterns of the leaves making 
them highly attractive. As they get larger they may be 
planted permanently on the lawn as they are hardy, where 
they will make most beautiful objects. The leaves of the 
various sorts range in color from dark crimson to pink, • 
green, white, etc., many being beautifully variegated andj 
mottled. Besides their fine colors they are most beautifully 
cut and divided, as shown above. Pkt.., 15c.: 3 for 40c.
