Bachelor’s Button, Double. 
It has been so perfected that fully 80 per 
cent, of the flowers are double and semi¬ 
double; and also increased in size and present 
many bright colors and distinct markings 
which have hitherto been unknown in this 
old-fashioned favorite flower.

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 is produced 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, remind¬ 
ing one of a very delicate 
Acacia. If the seed is started 
eai ly, it will produce blooms in 
great profusion the first year. 
Pkt., 15 seeds, 8 cts.
