beautiful hardy flowers. A great number of kinds have been

faction. Large Packet, 5c. 
Calliopsis California Sunbeam s . 
are much larger than any heretofore offered, and have the great 
recommendation of being early blooming; the flowers are beauti¬ 
fully formed with very long stems, some saucer-shaped, others 
flat, some Cosmos flowered, some exquisitely incurved, while 
others are like great buttercups. The petals are broad, with 
pinked, toothed or irregular fringed edges. Some are very light 
yellow; others, a deeper shade, darker around the eye. They are 
3 to 4 inches in diameter. Packet, 5c. 
Calliopsis Golden Glory. 
Very large golden yellow flowers, of great elegance and beauty. 
The plant is covered with flowers the entire summer. One of 
our most artistic flowers; Packet, 5c.

the fall for house use as an everlasting. Some

Carina Seed. 
Par excellence. Large flowering French and 
Giant Orchid Flowered^ named kinds only, un» 
excelled for quality by any seed in the world. 
Saved especially for me from the largest and 
finest collection of magnificent named varieties 
on this continent. Unquestionably one of the 
finest of bedding plants for the American 
climate, and equally good as a pot plant for 
summer and winter. All through Europe, 
where the climate is not suitable, it is grown 
in this way; also largely in all botanical gar¬ 
dens. 
Packet, 15 plump, sound seeds, 10c.; oz., 25c. 
HOW TO PLANT. 
Canna Seed should be cut (at one of the 
points) about 1-16 of an inch and then soaked 
in warm water twenty-four hours. If treated 
in this way and sown in the house blooming 
plants may be had as early as roots. 
WILD CUCUMBER. 
Echinocystis Lobata. 
This is the quickest growing climber in our 
list. Grows wild, self-sown, in many parts of 
the West. It will grow 30 feet in one season. 
It is thickly dotted over with pretty, white, 
fragrant flowers, followed by an abundance of 
ornamental and prickly seed pods. For a trellis 
or pillar no annual vine is more chaste, and it 
will cover an old tree, or an unsightly building. 
Packet, 5c.; % oz., 15c.
