Tennysonia?i is a new Californian strain 
of the greatest excellence. It em¬ 
braces all desirable colors. 
Of very graceful form. They bear a 
wealth of fragrant golden yellow 
flowers. 
Fine summer blooming greenhouse 
plants. 
Beautiful fern-like plants, that with¬ 
stand the atmosphere of the living 
rooms better than ferns. 
With a little care, there is no difficulty 
in raising these from seed. They are 
very free flowering, and are adapted 
both for greenhouse cultivation and 
summer bedding. Our seed is from 
the finest collection in England. 
These well-known and favorite plants 
are especially suitable for growing in 
the living rooms ; they withstand any 
amount of abuse and are always 
beautiful; in addition to their fine 
flowers and sweet perfume, they have 
lovely foliage. The Semperjlorens 
type are excellent for summer bedding. 
' Splendid greenhouse plants with 
beautifully striped, blotched and varie¬ 
gated flowers. Sow in pans or shal¬ 
low boxes filled with light sandy soil 
that has been sifted. Sow moder¬ 
ately thick in rows on the surface and 
cover very lightly with Sphagnum 
moss, water very carefully with an 
atomizer; when large enough to handle 
transplant singly into 2-inch pots. 
The “Queen of Autumn.” The seed 
we offer is saved from the best sorts 
only and includes everything desirable. 
Breck’s Columbia is an American 
strain. Those who have grown it 
claim it to be superior in habit of 
plant, size, form and color of flowers 
to any of the ICuropean selections. 
We especially recommend it. Florists 
and private gardeners throughout the 
United States endorse its superiority. 
The stellata has cactus-like flowers. 
Fine greenhouse plant resembling the 
hydrangea. 
Fine plants, pea-shaped flowers. 
Bedding plants with beautiful colored 
foliage. Easily grown from seed. 
The dwarf large-leaved strain is espe¬ 
cially desirable. The colors are light 
to dark red, beautifully marbled and 
spotted. 
Continual bloomers. Adapted for bed¬ 
ding and for house and conservatory 
decoration.
