DESCRIPTION. 
' We offer seed from the finest collection 
in Europe. If the seed is started early 
in a hot-bed an abundance of flowers 
will be produced the same season. 
They like a rich, deep soil. The roots 
should be housed during winter. D. 
Glory flowers vary in size from one to 
three inches and are scabious -like in 
construction. Monarch is a cross be¬ 
tween a double and cactus, very large 
„ semi-double. 
In large clumps, or borders of shrub¬ 
bery, these produce an excellent effect. 
They delight in a light sandy soil. 
The biennial sorts are all well-known 
favorites that flower the first season. 
The colors of the Heddewegii vary 
through all shades of crimson to a deli¬ 
cate rose. 
>The Diadematus shades from rose to 
purple. They are all exceedingly or¬ 
namental, and suitable alike for beds, 
borders, house cultivation and cutting. 
Sweet fragrance and great diversity in 
color and form are theirs peculiarly. 
) The favorite old-fashioned German 
j Sweet William. 
These bloom in about four months from 
time of sowing and produce 80 per 
► cent double flowers. They are remark¬ 
able for the richness and profuseness 
of bloom as well as for vigor of growth. 
Our seeds are saved especially for us by 
► the best German and French growers, 
and are the very best obtainable. 
These are improved strains of the well- 
► known, old-fashioned, hardy garden, 
double, fragrant Pinks. 
) A great favorite with bees. Very orna- 
j mental and sweetly scented. 
| A very showy plant for shrubberies, 
>• half shady places and borders. They 
thrive well in almost any soil.
