All Seeds Are Tested as to Germination and Purity 
FLOWER SEEDS (Continued) 
CARNATION—This beautiful and well-known flower pro¬ 
duces a finer bloom when grown from seed than when grown 
from cuttings taken from old plants. This seed will produce 
Carnations 
a fine variety of colors, with flowers of good size and sub¬ 
stance; height, eighteen inches; half hardy perennial. 
Marguerite—Blooms in four months from time of planting. 
Per pkt., 6c. 
Calliopsis 
CALLIOPSIS—A very showy plant producing flowers in 
nearly every shade of yellow, orange, crimson, red and brown. 
If the seed pods are removed as fast as they appear, the plant 
will remain in bloom much longer; height, two feet, hardy; 
mixed colors. Pkt., 6c. 
CINERARIA—As decorative and ornamental plants for 
winter decoration the Cineraria take a foremost place, and 
may be enjoyed by any one possessing an ordinary greenhouse, 
or warm room. 10 seeds 16c. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM—The great and growing demand for 
the annual varieties has brought Chrysanthemums into general 
favor. The leading sort now grown for cut flowers at nearly 
all seasons 1 is Burridganum, an exceedingly beautiful BOrt, the 
colors having the appearance of being laid on with a brush, 
and for this reason they are frequently called “painted daisies.” 
Pkt, 6c. 
Cosmos 
COSMOS—Are unquestionably very handsome flowers, and 
it is astonishing how quickly they become general favorites. 
Only a few years ago they were practically unknown. There is 
but one objection to their giving general satisfaction, and that 
is their late flowering habit. The plants require a very long 
time to develop, and that brings their flowering seasons late 
in the fall. This objection will not be found in our “early 
flowering” strain. Seed sown in the open ground in the begin¬ 
ning of May will produce blooming plants in August, and they 
will continue to flower late in the fall. We know of no single 
flower that is as handsome and chaste as the Cosmos, while 
for keeping qualities they are unexcelled. 
Early Flowering—Mixed. Pkt., 5c. 
CALIFORNIA POPPY (Eschscholtzia)—A flower attrac¬ 
tive in foilage, bud and bloom, one of the most brilliant flow¬ 
ers grown; plants procumbent, forming dense, bushy masses 
with a succession of flowers from July until after severe frosts 
with Dwarf Convolvulous, contrasts finely with the dark blue: 
height, one foot; half hardy perennial. Eschscholtzia Cali¬ 
fornia, pkt., 5c. 
COXCOMB —Highly ornamental plants, producing crested 
heads of flowers somewhat resembling a cock’s comb. There 
are many colors and shapes, but the scarlet and crimson one* 
are the most brilliant and rich. The oftener they are trans¬ 
planted or shifted, the more beautiful they grow ; height one to 
three feet; mixed co’ors. Pkt.. 5c.
