A grand annual which commences to bloom in a month 
from the time of sowing the seed in the garden, and con¬ 
tinues all the summer in great profusion, growing twenty 
inches high, and branching freely. Flowers large, saucer- 
shaped, ot brilliant, glossy-yellow color. The numerous fine 
web-like stamens make the flower look as though shrouded 
in a mist of gold-dust. It is one of the most desirable, and 
easiest grown of all garden annuals. Per pkt.

Beilis, (Double Daisy). 
This beautiful little Daisy is indispensable for cool, shady 
pluces, pots and frames. W ith protection they will stand the 
winter and greet us in the early spring with a profusion of 
gray Mowers. Ihey bloom beautifully in the house during 
winter and spring: when cultivated in pots, and we highly 
recommend them for this purpose. In the garden treat them 
liise Pansies. Per pkt.

Galliopsis. 
Many of our most showy flowers are slighted because thev 
are common and grow anywhere without trouble or care, 
almost like weeds. One of these is the Calliopsis or Coreopsis. 
Were it a new thing just introduced it would bo considered a 
novelty of rare excellence, or were it difficult to rear it would 
be highly prized. But as it is the poor littleimuual with its 
abundance of showy flowers, its graceful and charming habit, 
willing to grow for any one in any situation, and with neg¬ 
lect, has to beg a home in many gardens that should be proud 
of it. Seed should be sown In the open ground quite early in 
the spring and the plants thinned out to six inches apart.

sown in the open ground very early, or transplanted. 
It is one ot those flowers which will grow in any situa¬

New Double, the advent of this new double Calliopsis 
Will be hailed with joy. The single ones have for years 
been leading garden favorites, and this the first semi¬ 
double, or double form, is truly a novelty of more than 
ordinary merit. The flowers possess all the rich colors 
of the singlesorts, and are borne In prolusion. Sow in 
the open ground early; they will soon commence bloom¬ 
ing, and continue all summer. It was one of our lead¬ 
ing novelties last year . io 
For so cent# we will send the three sorts.
