SILVER-LEAVED STAR PHLOX. 
Phlox Drummondi Cuspidata fol. albo marginatus 
There appeared in the extensive beds of Phlox, of one of the most noted German seed growers, a plant 
among the cuspidata varieties with leaves all edged with white. These developments are often caused 
by an unhealthy state of the plant, but in this case the seedlings, grown from the seed saved, grew with 
more than ordinary strength, and the pleasing variegation of the foliage was reproduced in nearly every 
plant. The plants grow about 1 ft. high and branch freely; the flowers, mostly toothed (cuspidata) but 
a few fringed (fimbriata), are of rose and carmine shades and form a fine contrast with the beautifully 
variegated foliage. This new variety will be found very effective for bedding with other varieties or for 
planting in masses alone. Per pkt. 25c.

POPPY 
NEW DWARF SHIRLEY. 
This extremely handsome Single 
Paeony-flowered Poppy, is one of 
the finest annual poppies in culti¬ 
vation, and will undoubtedly be¬ 
come very popular. The plants are 
of sturdy growth, about 2 1 o feet 
high, and flower in great profu¬ 
sion. The flowers are from 4 to 5 
inches across, pure satiny white 
with the upper half of the petals a 
beautiful chamois rose, an exquisite 
combination of color. Perpkt. 10c. 
A valuable addition to the popular Shirley Pop¬ 
pies. The plants are of a bushy habit, about 18 
inches high, with bright green laciniated foliage 
and all ablaze with innumerable flowers of rose, 
chamois, scarlet and salmon; some have a distinct 
light bordering to the petals, and all have yellow 
stamens. This novelty will be especially valuable 
for masses and borders. Per pkt. 10c.

Snapdragon, Queen Victoria. 
Scabiosa Caucasica Perfecta. 
This new variety is an improvement on the old Cau¬ 
casian Scabious, and differs from it in having 2 to 4 rows 
of ray florets, instead of the single row seen in the old 
variety. The flowers are 3 to 4 inches across, of delicate 
shades of lavender and azure blue, and are borne on long 
stiff stems, making them of great value for cut flowers. 
The plant is a hardy perennial and will thrive in almost 
any kind of soil. Per pkt. 15c. 
Snapdragon, Queen Victoria. 
A splendid new Snapdragon originating from the favor¬ 
ite variety, "The Bride,” and combining the finely-cut foli¬ 
age characteristic of that variety, with unusually large 
flowers of purest white. The flowers which are produced 
in great profusion, are borne on long, graceful flower 
stems and present a grand effect in the garden, while for 
cutting they are of greatest value. Per pkt. 15c.
