MISS MARY E. MARTIN, FLORAL PARK, NEW YORK, 
SWA I NS ONI A, WHITE. 
This plant has been grown ex¬ 
tensively the last four or five 
years by the florists as a cut 
flower ; in fact, nothing is more 
beautiful than the graceful 
sprays loaded, from tip to base 
with large, pure, white, waxy, 
sweet-pea-like flowers, ensconced 
among the beautiful green 
acacia-like foliage. The plant 
is easy to grow, begins to flower 
when very small, and is in flower 
nearly the year around ; for 
winter or summer, inside or out; 
it is at home. Grows quickly from 
seed. Packet seed,, 10c. 
Plants, 15c. each; 2“ for 25c. 
Scabiosa, Double Grandi/lora. Gypsies' Bonnets. 
K people only knew how handsome and ornamental 
these charming flowers are for all purposes, no garden 
would be without them. They are almost as durable 
when cut as everlastings. They are good for vases, 
bouquets, as a loose cut flower and personal wear. 
For decorations of all kinds, as a flower to cut and 
work up and exhibit at fair time, nothing is better. 
The flowers and foliage also have marked curative 
properties for soothing and allaying all irritations of 
the skm. The flowers are large, double and lustrous.

rose, pink, fiery crimson, azure blue, purple, red striped 
and golden, carnation, cherry and lilac. Packet, all 
kinds mixed, 100 seeds, 5c.
