PLATE NO. 4 
Superb ploWer Seed N°^ e lties. 
Mi2h°hette Goliath. 
Beyond all question the finest variety of Mignonette yet 
introduced. It has a compact growth with rich green foliage. 
Flower stalks strong and stiff with giant trusses of flowers, 
reaching in the open ground a length of 7 inches and a 
diameter of more than 2 inches. The single flowers measure 
up to inch in diameter; the color is the richest yet seen, 
being a deep brick red, much deeper and better than any 
other so called red flowering variety. In every respect the 
finest Mignonette ever grown. Pkt. 15c. 
Fuchsia-FloWered ]\/Jorqiqg 
Glory. 
A perfect gem of a vine, being of very slender graceful 
growth, with beautiful foliage and climbing rapidly to a good 
height. Its lovely blossoms are about the size of a Fuchsia 
and droop in the same manner, hanging by long thread-like 
stems. Color fine lilac-pink. For delicacy and grace this is 
about the finest vine we have ever seen. It branches freely 
and is fine for screens or tall trellises or for strings. For 
beauty of habit and flower, and general graceful aspect it is 
par excellent. One of our very best novelties. Pkt., 15c. 
Heliotrope M an >ipoth. 
This new Heliotrope is the result of a cross between the 
well-known G-iant Heliotrope having been introduced a 
few years ago, and Mad. Bussy. It does not grow as high 
as the Giant but the more sturdy and broad, producing im¬ 
mense umbels of light and deep violet flowers, which have 
a diameter of 16 to 20 inches. The delicious perfume of this 
novelty by far excels all other Heliotropes. Plants will bloom 
within three months from the time of sowing the seed, and 
the enormous panicles of bloom are magnificent. Pkt., 20c. 
Stocks, Perpetual 
This new Ten-Weeks Stock has proved to be the finest 
variety in cultivation. It blooms very quickly from seed, the 
plants being stout, branching, and compact, with numerous 
flower spikes of very large size. The individual flowers are 
large, very double, and perfect in form. For pots it is greatly 
superior to any other variety, and as a pot plant it is just 
superb, flowering for a long period and at any time of year, 
according to time of sowing. Another great point in its 
favor is the fact that only a very small per cent, of the plants 
raised from seed will be single, nearly all producing magnifi¬ 
cent double flowers. It is one of the greatest flower seed 
novelties we ever intruduced, and one than will give far 
greater satisfaction that can be anticipated. We cannot say 
anything too good for it. 15c. per pkt.; the 2 for 20c. 
Pure White—Large snow-white.. Perfectly magnificent. 
Rich Grim son— Fine, deep, velvety color. 
Miniature 
A perfectly wonderful plant, growing only 4 to 6 inches 
high and bearing great numbers of double blossoms of var¬ 
ious colors. It is so dwarf and compact that a plant looks 
like a tasty bouquet set in the ground, the mingling of bright 
blossoms and foliage being very effective and so uniform 
and precise as to suggest artificial arrangement. For border¬ 
ing beds of taller Zinnias or other flowers this is just the thing, 
or as a little clump or bed by itself it is very attractive. One 
of the best flower seed novelties in many years. Many colors 
mixed. Pkt. 15c.; 3 pkts., 30c. 
]vje\y -Annual Delphinium, 
“BLUE BUTTERFLY.” 
In our Blue Butterfly Delphinium we 'have a com¬ 
bination of attractions which have never been equalled in 
one plant. In the first place it is an annual which will come 
as a surprise to those who only know Delphiniums as peren¬ 
nials. Secondly, it is dwarf and compact, hardly reaching a 
foot in height; a surprise equal to the first. Thirdly, it has a 
bushy yet branching habit instead of the ascending upright 
growth. Fourthly, the size of its blossoms is beyond any¬ 
thing we have ever seen in the old perennial section; and 
lastly its color is of the intensest blue yet found in any 
flower, defying the artists skill to reproduce, and bids fair to 
outvie the unique blue of a Salvia Patens. This novelty is 
perfectly hardy and can be grown by anybody in any soil and 
will be in full bloom in 70 days from the time of sowing in 
the ground. We have also proved it to be a most effective 
pot plant for table and occasional decorations of every kind 
imparting a color which has been missing too long. For 
bedding purposes it is fine. Pkt. 15c. 
Gyclotorqu Platyphylla. 
(CYCLONE PLANT.) 
The Great Cyclone plant of the Black Hills. It is leafless 
and a great curiosity. Seed can be sown early in the open 
ground, and when the plants are young they have leaves 
but as they grow older they send out long, wiry stems in 
every direction, until the whole makes an oval plant as 
round and regular as a half circle, and covers two or three 
feet of ground. From the ground to the top this plant is a 
solid mass of bare stems and small seed vesels so numerous 
and compact as to make a solid mass. The plants are green 
up to about the last of August at which time they wil 1 , in a 
few days, turn to a bright deep purplish-plaek color, and re¬ 
main so until killed by frost. After the plants are dead the 
wind will detach them from the ground and blow the great 
compact mass about sometimes to great distances. This 
habit of turning purplish-black, and rolling about gives it 
the name of Cyclone plant. They are very good for a large 
border, as they grow so compact and evenly, or for single 
specimens as curiosities. Per packet, loc,; 3 packets, 25c,

SylVestris. 
We regret that space does 
not premit us to show a 
large cut of this beautiful 
plant. It is a magnificent 
garden ornament, growing 
five feet high, with large, 
handsome leaves, making it 
a grand foliage plant. It also 
bears large, branching pani¬ 
cles of long, tubular, white 
flowers, which are very 
handsome and fragrant, each 
panicle showing as many as 
50 flowers at a time. For or¬ 
namental bedding it is 
great, and has attracted 
great attention here at Floral 
Park. Seed may be started 
early inside or sown directly 
in the open ground. The 
best results will come from 
an early start. Pkt,, loc.
