YirV This charming strain of Poppy we have been 
at work on for a long time, and offered them 
/w last year for the first. They are of a dwarf habit, 
-producing llowers in endless number, which are 
as double andperfeetas rose buds, and showing 
the greatest variety of the most brilliant and 
lovely, colors. In fact it will be difficult to lind 
any two alike. There are fringed and variegat¬ 
ed ones as well as solid colors in every shade. 
Nothing will provemoreattractive inyour gar¬ 
den than a bed of these. Sow seed early in the open ground 
and they will commence blooming in June. Per pkt., 10c. 
Diarjtl^Us, Brilliant. 
A dwarf grower, producing numerous large double blos¬ 
soms which are of a dark bright red color, and as line as the 
best Carnutious. It blooms very early from seed and ex¬ 
ceedingly freely, and is one of the very best garden flowers 
it Is possible to have. All the plants produce flowers which 
arc perfectly double and true to color. Per pkt., 20c.

Snow Ball, a fine German Novelty. The plant is a strong 
grower, and the llowers are very large, perfectly double, 
and its white as snow. They are produced very freely, 
and are exceedingly attractive. The blooms are borne on 
long wiry stems, and are exceedingly valuable for cut¬ 
ting. Per pkt., 13c.

coal black blossoms. It makes a unique and beautiful 
plant, and one of st riking oddity. Per pkt., 15c. 
Royal Velvet, each head of this variety when in full bloom 
may well be named a ready-made nosegay composed as it 
is of 20 or 30 distinct tlorets of a velvety purple color on 
which the white stamens make a very striking contrast. 
Very ornamental and, owing to the length of its flower- 
stalks, admirably suited for bouquets. Per pkt., 15c.

This is an important Novelty, and one which will Ih> great¬ 
ly appreciated, it is like the old favorite Coburn Scandensiu 
all respects, except t hat its large beautiful bell-like blossoms 
are pure white, it is sure to become at once one of the most 
popular climbers. 1 1 is admirably suited either for a green¬ 
house or the open air. Per pkt., 10c. 
Gleoipe pupgeps. 
A yum- or two ago we received from a lady customer, a let¬ 
ter in which was enclosed a few leaves anil blossoms or some 
{ ilantwedid not know. These loaves and blossoms gave the 
ettor such a charming fragrance t hut we wrote to ask what 
they were. The lady w r as unable to give us its mime, but 
very kindly sent some seed. It proved to he Glennie Pungens, 
an annual known to Botanists, but whichseemstoliuve never 
- been introduced, at which we greatly wonder. Seed sown in 
the open ground in May commenced blooming July 1st. and 
continued in the greatest profusion until frost, attaining a 
height of five or six feet, with great, panicles of bloom ns 
large as a Hydrangea. The flowers uro a deep purplish pink 
when they first open, but fade to light pink, so that the lower 
part of the panicle is u different color from the tori part. The 
stamens are several inches long, which gives it the name of 
Spider Flower. After it commences to bloom, this plant is 
never out of flower while it lives. Winds or rains do not 
injure it. It gained the prize at Floral Pin k A ugiist. 1889, by 
being the onlv flower which withstood the three weeks rain 
and storm without injury or blemish. It. Isexceedingly showy, 
and for a situation where a tali plant is desirable, no annual 
can surpass it. Per pkt., 10c.
