SPRING CAlALOGUE OF SEEDS, BULBS AND PLANTS FOR 1899. 
EEMOINE’S NEW HEETOTROPE. 
Heliotrope. 
LEMOINE’S NEW EARLY FLOWERING GIANT. 
This new strain of Heliotrope, blooms in a very short 
t ime from seed, and plants are as easily raised from seed as 
Pansies or Asters. The seedlings make a rapid growth and 
are in bloom in a short time. They bloom abundantly in the 
garden all summer, or all the year round in pots. The pan¬ 
icles of bloom are often six inches across, three times as large 
as ordinary Heliotrope, while the color range from indigo- 
black though all shades of blue to almost pure white, and 
some with red tints, others with large white eyes. In fra¬ 
grance they seem to surpass the ordinary sorts. A packet 
of this seed will furnish you a bed of flowers for your garden 
or lawn which would cost several dollars were you to pur¬ 
chase the plants, and give you great handfuls of the deli¬ 
cious blossoms all summer....'.10 &30 
GerapiUip.

cent results growing Geraniums from seed, and we advise 
all our customers to try it.

table or drawing-room deco¬ 
rations, wardian cases, hang¬ 
ing baskets or rockeries.

should be surface sown on 
sifted soil, and covered with 
glass. If sown in ordinary 
pot saucers, necessary moist¬ 
ure can be supplied by plac¬

It is not generally known that these beautiful, fragrant 
flowering plants may be grown to great perfection in four 
months from seed. Seed may be sown at any time in pots, 
and boxes, or frames of light, rich soil. They will soon 
germinate, and under favorable circumstances they will 
bloom finely within four months from time sowing..in & 20
