Ageratum 
Three Fine Calendulas 
Begonia 
Gracilis luminosa compacta. This is the first dwarf variety of 
the Gracilis type. The plants grow 5 inches high and produce a 
large number of thin stems. They are remarkable for their ex¬ 
tremely regular growth and for a marvelous richness of blooms. 
Flowers from mid-July until frost, the small dark brown foliage 
being hidden by the mass of medium-sized bright scarlet blossoms. 
This variety is very useful for beds, borders, and also as pot- 
plants. Trade Pkt. 35 cts., 3 pkts. $1. 
Orange Shaggy 
The florets are long and deeply fringed or laciniated in this new 
type of Pot Marigold. Row after row of these long, fringed petals 
overlap each other in a rather irregular fashion, and build up a bloom 
with the shaggy appearance of some chrysanthemums, graceful and 
beautiful. The color is a deep orange, shading to a slightly lighter 
orange in the center. When suitably grown, 18-inch stems are usual, 
and a bed of these floral jewels is a wonderful sight. A spring-sown, 
open-ground annual of the easiest culture, as well as an excellent 
greenhouse flower for cut-bloom. Trade Pkt. 25 cts., V&oz. 60 cts., 
y 4 oz. $1, oz. $3. 
Calceolaria 
Hybrida multiflora nana. Small-flowering Calceolarias of profuse 
blooming habit are often preferred to plants with larger but 
fewer blooms, and we believe that this new variety will meet with 
wide favor. The average size of the florets is but 1V2 inches, 
but they are produced in remarkable abundance. The colors 
range through shades of yellow, lemon, gold, and orange, these 
marked with fine brown spots, as well as brown, orange, copper- 
brown, copper-scarlet, crimson and pure scarlet. They grow from 
10 to 12 inches tall, and make excellent market plants, either in 
groups or singly. Trade Pkt. 50 cts., 3 pkts. $1.25. 
Cineraria 
Cremer’s Prize Strain. Conceded by many experienced Cineraria 
growers to be the greatest improvement in this important green¬ 
house annual developed in recent years. The flowers are large and 
the color-range exceptionally fine. Florets in most of the plants 
obtained from this strain are wide, and they overlap to form at¬ 
tractive heads. Its foliage is handsome, with smaller leaves than 
those of the old type; the plants are exceptionally resistant to 
wilt. Trade Pkt. $1.50, 3 pkts. $4 
Cineraria plants are ready for shipment in October.

Campfire (Sensation) 
This type has been thoroughly tested under glass and has been 
accepted as the best forcing Calendula for that use. Blooms are flat 
and are undoubtedly larger than those of any other type previously 
introduced. The color is brilliant orange, with a scarlet sheen and a 
full yellow center. Trade Pkt. 15 cts., y 4 oz. 30 cts., oz. $1, 
y 4 lb. $3.50. 
Chrysantha 
This is one of the best Calendulas for florists’ use. The stems are 
remarkably long, and the flowers resemble the chrysanthemum, from 
which it derives its name. The florets are long, wide, and drooping, 
giving the large, double, buttercup-yellow flowers a globular outline. 
We unhesitatingly recommend this type as one of the best for cut- 
flower purposes. Trade Pkt. 15 cts., J / 4 oz. 35 cts., oz. $1.25, 
y 4 ih. $ 4 .

orange flowers, and we recommend it for the grower who wants 
something good for the rock-garden. Will bloom throughout the 
summer if seed-pods are removed, Vi oz * 25 cts., oz. 75 cts

more mature. The plants are freely branched, each stem carrying a 
long spike of flowers, and they grow 2 feet high. Trade Pkt. 25 cts.,
