Improved Margaret Carnations. 
The finest of all for growing outside. 
New Butterfly Cyclamen . 
(Papilio.) 
In this new type the edges of the flowers are beauti¬ 
fully fringed or waved, giving them a grace not 
possessed by the old class ; for house or conservatory 
decoration they are of surpassing beauty. Mixed 
colors. Packet, 5 seeds, 10c.; 3 Packets, 25c. 
I am making a special importation of this new 
Cyclamen from the original introducers and am put¬ 
ting it out in these small Packets to give all a chance 
to try it. 
Improved Carnation Margaret 
. A great favorite because it blooms so quick after sow¬ 
ing the seed ; four months. Flowers large, colors are 
bright and varied, with that delicious, refreshing clove 
fragrance that makes all carnations so much loved. Col¬ 
ors are dazzling red, soft pink, white, mottled and varie¬ 
gated. Carnations are now one of the most sought for 
flowers in the New York market, and the seed of this va¬ 
riety will produce flowers in a short time as fine as many 
grown in the greenhouses, and at very much less cost. 
The plants succeed alike in the open garden or in pots. 
Seeds sown early in the year will give an abundance of 
flowers in July. Sown in May and kept pinched back, you 
will have fine flowers late in the fall until checked by 
hard frosts. Sown in the autumn, the flowers will be 
in full bloom early in the spring. Thus by planting at 
different seasons flowers can be had all the year around. 
Packet, finest quality, 200 seeds, 5c.

The flowers are larger, more double and the variety of 
colors is infinitely greater. Pkt., 200 seeds, 8 c.; 4 pkts., 25c.

New Star Cineraria. 
This new type of Cineraria grows to a height of 3 to 4 
feet. The plants branch freely and produce their little 
star-shaped flowers in countless numbers. They are borne 
on long stems and the colors range from white to pink, 
rose, carmine and blue. This is an exceptionally useful 
plant, being very decorative in growing condition and de¬ 
cidedly pleasing when cut; either in vases alone, or used 
with other flowers for this purpose, the flowers posse?* 
great lasting qualities. Packet, 15 c.
