New “Obelisk” Forget-Me-Not 
Myosotis Alpestris Stricta 
No. 2108. 
Tills new Forget-Me-Not lias a very striking and peculiar but charming structure. All 
the branches of the plant have a strong upright or perpendicular growth, without bending 
to the side, making by this compact growth a regular “obelisk” or pillar. This habit 
makes them particularly useful as pot plants or as edging for flower beds. In three sep¬ 
arate colors, blue, pink and white.

TIliH new minimi variety represents a very welcome addition to the collection of these 
popular annual and perennial plants so extensively used for cut flowers at present. 
Growing about 2 feet in height, it forms a niany-branehed dense bush and produces its 
long-stemmed flowers in the greatest abundance. The disk is brown, tbe rav florets are 
yellow, with large velvety-brown spots at the base, a coloring which mav be compared to 
that of Obeliscariu Pulelierrima, or that of the Dwarf French Marigold, “ Legion of Honor ” 
Very effective annual and very useful for cutting. Pkt., 15c.; 2pkts., 25c.

No. 934. 
The Cosmos is now one of our 
most popular flowers, but frequently, 
on account of its coming into bloom 
so late, the plants are destroyed by 
frost without having perfected a soli¬ 
tary flower. This new variety comes 
into full flower in July, and contin¬ 
ues a mass of bloom until cut down 
by severe frost. This feature alone 
is sufficient to stamp it ns a novclly 
of Lhc first class, and will make their 
successful cultivation possible in the 
most Northerly Stales and Canada; 
but added to this, it is of dwarf, 
compact growth, growing only 4% 
feet high, while the old variety grow¬ 
ing alongside towers up nearly 7 
feet, a victim to the first strong wind. 
The flowers are fully as large as in 
the host selections of the old type, the 
color is a beautiful white, relieved by 
a delicate tint of rose at the base of 
the petals, altogether the finest 
novelty introduced in many years. Price, 10c. per pkt.; 3 pkts., 25c.

Heliopsis Pitcheriana 
No. 151G. This new hardy perennial is a perfect beauty, 
as the photograph alongside shows. Itis a perpetual bloom¬ 
er, with flowers about 2 inches in diameter, of a beautiful 
deep golden color, with deeper golden centre. They are of 
thick texture, with long stems, and keep fresh for a long 
time after cutting, and for this reason are far superior to 
Coreopsis Limceoluta, or to any of the Kudbeckias. 
The plants grow 2 to 3 feet in height, with a spread of 3 to 4 
feet. No collection of hardy plants should be without this 
bright, free-blooming perennial. Price, 10c. per pkt. 
New Dwarf Marigold 
“GOLD RING” 
No. 1939. This charming variety is a fine match to the 
old “ Legion of Honor ” in growth, height and iree flower¬ 
ing. In color it is a dark, velvety brown, each petal grace¬ 
fully surrounded with a distinct gold ring. The compact, 
bushy plant blooms with a richness and constancy that is 
surprising. Pkt., 10c.; 3 pkts., 25c.
