Bird of Paradise. 
BIRD OF PARADISE, (Poinciana Gillesi.) 
The color of the flower is a golden yellow, measuring two and a 
half inches across, with shape as shown in illustration, and are pro¬ 
duced in very large trusses. The most beautiful part of the flower 
is the large pistils, which are spread out in fan-like form, and are 
of bright crimson color. The foliage is also highly decorative, re¬ 
minding one of a very delicate Acacia. If the seed, is started early, 
it will produce blooms in great profusion the first year. Pkt 10 
seeds, 8 cts. 
BALSAM APPLE. 
A beautiful climbing plant with apple-shaped fruits, which, if 
preserved in alcohol, make a most useful liniment. Pkt., 10 seeds

DEFIANCE BALSAM, (Lady Slipper.) 
The most perfect in form and largest double flowered Balsam yet 
developed, and bv careful growth and selection has attained a stand¬ 
ard that will be found hard to improve. The Mixture, which I of¬ 
fer, is composed in nearly equal proportions of eight colors. Rose, 
Rose White Spotted, Pink, Scarlet, White Tinted Violet, White 
Spotted, Scarlet White, Spotted and Purple; each having been grown 
separately. Pkt., 30 seeds, 4 cts.
