TWO FINE SALVIAS 
AMERICA or GLOBE OF FIRE. Our Selected American-grown 
Seed. The bushy plants do not grow over 15 inches high, with the 
large spikes of brilliant scarlet flowers thrown well above the 
plant, making a total height of about 2 feet. If desired for borders 
or beds, this is indeed an acquisition on account of its uniformity 
of height. Trade Pkt. 25 cts., Vsoz. 75 cts., Vioz. $1.25, oz. $4. 
America or Globe of Fire, Imported Seed. Grown by a very 
reliable grower. Trade Pkt. 25 cts., YiOz. 60 cts., oz. $2, Vilh.

HARBINGER. A true, dwarf, large-flowering Salvia blooming in 
July from early-sown seed. Beautiful symmetrical plants about 
15 inches high, densely clothed with long sprays of large, brilliant 
scarlet flowers. Trade Pkt. 25 cts., Vgoz. 75 cts., V^oz. $1.25. 
Sweet Wivelsfield 
This plant is the result of crossing Dianthus Allwoodi and Sweet 
William. It is distinct in habit and freedom of growth. Wonderful 
colorings; flow’ers in trusses; perpetual-flowering. Excellent for cutting 
Trade Pkt. 15 cts., Vioz. 30 cts., oz. $1. 
Giant Polyanthus 
The strain we are offering is of strong sturdy habit, and bears 
immense trusses of large flowers on strong stems 10 inches in length. 
The colors vary from pure white to rich wallflower-red. Usually 
sown in early summer, in a frame, and the plants transplanted to the 
garden in the autumn. They require slight protection over winter. 
Trade Pkt. 50 cts., i^oz. $1. 
Statice dumosa 
One of the best varieties for drying. Resembles the well-known 
5. incana nana, except that the individual florets are larger and 
brighter. It is silvery white when dry and lavender when fresh. 
Growing 20 inches high, the stalks are more than twice the size of 
S.incana nana. Trade Pkt. 25 cts., Vioz. $1, oz. $3.50. 
CANADIAN SUPER-GIANTS. Blooms 2 inches across. Because 
these have the largest flowers of any strain of Schizanthus in 
existence, and because they have rich colorings and unusual mark¬ 
ings not seen heretofore, they will be recognized as distinct and 
superior. Although most valuable as a greenhouse or conservatory 
plant, the Schizanthus may be grown outdoors in a position 
sheltered from high winds. For this purpose, treat as a half-hardy 
annual, sowing in February under glass and planting out when all 
danger of spring frosts is over. Trade Pkt. $1, 3 pkts. $2.50. 
Two Fine Annual Scabiosas 
Giant Loveliness. Undoubtedly the most beautiful Scabiosa ever 
introduced and unsurpassed as a cut-flower. It has long, stiff stems 
and a delightful fragrance, but its crowning beauty is its glorious 
salmon-rose color. Trade Pkt. 15 cts., Y^oz. 35 cts., oz. $1.25. 
Tall Double Blue Cockade. This v'ariety grows 2j^ feet high and 
is very free flowering. The blooms are 2 to 3 inches across and of 
a delightful shade of deep azure-blue. Trade Pkt. 15 cts., Yioz. 
30 cts., oz. $1. 
A New Perennial Scabiosa 
GIANT CAUCASICA HYBRIDS. (Isaac House Strain.) Larger 
flowers with heavier petals and on longer stems! In this mixture it 
is natural for delicate lilac and mauve to predominate, but pure 
white and several shades of dark blue also occur. These hybrids 
are splendid for the hardy border, and we also recommend them as 
a florists’ cut-flower. Trade Pkt. 50 cts., VgOz. $1, Vioz. $1.50, 
oz. $5.
