CHINESE WOOLFLOWER 
CELOSIA CHILDSII 
Without (louht tin’s n<*\v (h‘Iosirt is tiio most 
magnificent garden annual yet introduc(‘d. Its ease 
of culture and long continued Idooining season, 
(duly until frost) togetlier with its massive 
bunches of wool-Hk(* {lowers and glowing color 
combine to make it the most odd as well as the 
showiest novelty for the general flower garden. 
Plants grow about three feet high, the bloom 
starting eiirly with a globular central head of 
immen.se size, while numerous branches are sent 
out, each bearing a ball of scarlet wool, while 
each branch produces many laterals which also 
develop (‘xcellent li<*ad.s of bloom that last until 
kilbsl by frost and expand with a deepening ri<-h- 
ne.ss of color to a deep crimson scarlet. 
Seed may b(‘ sown in oi)en aftiu* danger from 
frost or sown in pots mav be transplanted when 
ground is ready. Pkt. 20c., three pkts. 50c. 
DELPHINIUM LATcELLks 
Beautiful Deep Blue, White Center 
A particularly fine new addition to the already well 
known Delphiniums. We have had the plants of this ex¬ 
cellent variety growing for the past three seasons, and they 
have been greatly admired l>y all who have seen them. The 
plants have betui very shy in producing setsl, but during 
the past s(*ason we have been (piite successful in securing 
a stock which enables us to od'er seed thi.s year. 
The flowers are quite double and of extra siz«*. sliowing 
a beautiful deep blue color, with white center, priKlucing 
an excellent contrast. 
.V large percentage of seed comes true, while the balance 
will undoubtedly produce some very (dioice hy!>rids.

NEW RED SUNFLOWER 
Tlie new Red Sunflower is easily grown from se(*d 
the same as all of the Ilelianthus family, and usually 
thrive in any sunny location with onlinary garden soil. 
Si)lendid garden annual, quite showy, of quick, robust 
growth, while the large blooms make a splendid effect on 
file long stems; tiie fiowers when cut are excellent for 
house decoration and of a lasting quality. 
Dolors are not truly fix(Ml and may produce some yellow 
blooms, but the larger proportion are of a fine red. tipped 
yellow.
