V 
NEW CARNATION. 
MIGNONETTE. 
flarguerite Yellow. 
8ince their introduction 
several years ago, the Mar¬ 
guerite Carnations have 
grown steadily in pop¬ 
ular^’ until now they 
rank foremost among our 
annuals, aud the addition 
of a yellow variety, fills a 
long sought wantand com¬ 
pletes a valuable collec¬ 
tion. This, like the other 
colors in the class, blooms 
the fourth month from 
seed and the flowers are of 
large size, equal to those 
of greenhouse varieties. 
About 40 per cent, have 
proved true from seed. All 
lovers of this valuable 
class of carnations should 
make a trial of the new yel¬ 
low sort. Pkt., 60c.

Suaveolens. 
Not. a new plant by any 
means, but one that de¬ 
serves to be more general ly 
planted. The plant grows 
about two feet high and 
its rich golden yellow blossoms are borne in great profusion. Com¬ 
monly known as yellow cornflower. A general favorite for cutting.

YELLOW MARGUERITE CARNATION. 
NEW “SAN SALVADOR” COBAEA. 
(Cobaea Macrostemma.) 
This new variety from San 
Salvador is much more beau¬ 
tiful than Cobtea Scandens, 
the foliage being a bright 
vivid green and the flowers 
strikingly effective with its 
very long stamens. It is a 
very rapid grower and, al¬ 
though a perennial, when 
used as a greenhouse climber 
can be treated as an annual 
for decoration in the garden. 
Per package. 25c. 
NEW GIANT 
CALLIOPSIS. 
Golden Glory. 
This new Calliopsis, Gol¬ 
den Glory, is well named, as 
the plants blooming so freely 
with gorgeous yellow flowers 
are a perfect glory as seen in 
the garden, and the flowers 
are equally so arranged in 
vases or summer bouquets. 
The long, stiff, graceful 
stems of this variety render 
it exceptionally valuable for 
cut flowers. The flowers of 
this New Giant Calliopsis 
are much larger than the C. 
LanceolataGrandiflora, with 
deeper yellow, broad, over¬ 
lapping petals, forming an 
extremely beautiful appear¬ 
ance. This is certainly the 
gem of all Calliopsis and well 
deserves the attention of all 
flower lovers. Price per 
packet, 15c. 
Golden Machet. 
Elliott’s Mammoth. 
This novel Mignonette, offered for 
the first time last season, contains all 
the excellencies peculiar to the 
justly popular Machet Mignonette 
recognized by every grower as the 
best for forcing and pot culture. 
The plants are of strong compact 
habit, with the large crinkled leaves 
peculiar to the Machet and bears 
long massive spikes crowded with 
golden yellow blossoms. This nov¬ 
elty is valuable as it is distinct and 
cannot fail to attain great popu¬ 
larity both for forcing and outdoor 
culture, Pkt., 15c. 
The exquisite fragrance of 
this modest flower has secur¬ 
ed it a place in the heart of 
every lover of flowers. This 
strain which we offer is with¬ 
out doubt the largest flower¬ 
ed form that has yet been 
seen, and the finest Mignon¬ 
ette in cultivation. 10c. 
per pkt. 
MAMMOTH MIGNONETTE. 
COSMOS. 
New Yellow. 
A desirable novelty, distinct in habit from the Garden Cosmos gen¬ 
erally known. This new j’ellow variety forms a numerously branched 
dwarf plant; the foliage is finely lacinated and glossy green; the 
flowers are about 1% inches in diameter, star-shaped and rich golden yel¬ 
low, a remarkably free bloomer, being a perfect mass of bloom until 
killed by frost. An excellent contrast with the white, pink and crim¬ 
son varieties now so popular. Pkt., 10c. 
Myosotis Alpestris Distinction. 
Early Flowering Forget-Me-Not. 
This variety is quite different from all other sports of the Alpine For¬ 
get-me-nots which do not bloom until the second year. Distinction is a 
seedling of Myosotis al¬ 
pestris Victoria that may 
be sown at any season 
and will commence flow¬ 
ering in 8 to 10 weeks 
from sowing the seed. 
The plants are stout and 
busby, with blooms like 
those of Victoria, having 
the same large bright 
azure blue flowers. The 
plant attains a height of 
5 to 7 inches and diameter 
of 8 to 10 inches; when 
fully grown is quite glob¬ 
ular in shape and perfect¬ 
ly covered with flowers. 
While this variety is val¬ 
uable as a greenhouse 
sort, flowering the entire 
winter, it is none the less 
valuable for open ground 
culture, flowering early 
as Myosotis Dissitiflora 
and much more abun¬ 
dantly. Pkt., 25c.
