Flower and Vegetable Seed Novelties 
WM. ELLIOTT & SONS, NEW YORK 
Gloxinia Hybrida Grandiflora Tricolor 
“ Princess Maud ” 
( HEl NEMANN) 
This new Gloxinia is one of the most beautiful varieties of late intro¬ 
duction. Its throat is of a light shining crimson red, shading toward a rich 
dark carmine, followed by a l>cautiful edging of pure violet, while a narrow 
band of white with violet spots surrounds the whole of this fine waved bloom. 
Pkt. 25 cts. 
Dwarf Erfurt Double Pinks 
These Dwarf Pinks distinguish themselves not onlj- hy their early blooming, 
beginning earlier than the ordinary sorts, but also by their dwarf growth. 
Their average height is about 1 foot and they therefore require no support. Even 
when in full bloom, the}' may be transplanted into pots. The variety of 
colors of this novelty is far richer than that of the high double Pinks, and 
the percentage of the massy filled flowers produced by these easily cultivated and 
perfectly cold-enduring Pinks is a very rich one. Pkt. 15 cts. 
Chrysanthemum Leucanthemum “Spring Marguerite” 
The earliest Marguerite. This variety flowers in May, when the other sorts are only budding, and for cutting purposes, the “Spring 
Chrysanthemum " will prove a novelty which will be of much service to all interested in horticultural matters. The blossoms average 
31/2 inches in diameter, borne on long stems, and bearing flowers—snow-white with dark center—in the greatest profusion. Pkt. 25 cts. 
Mignonette, New York Market 
T'ndoubtedly this is the grandest variety of Mignonette at the present time. Its individual florets are of large size, form a graceful 
as well as compact spike, and possess a delicious fragrance. Per pkt. 50 cts. 
Early-Flowering Sweet Pea, Mont Blanc 
An early-flowering pure white sort of European introduction. The flowers 
resemble Emily Henderson, both in form and color, but bloom freel}' 12 days 
earlier. Sown under glass on February 20, Mont Blanc produced its first flowers 
on May 1, and was in full bloom on Mat' 10. It can, therefore, be highly 
recommended for forcing. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 25 cts. 
Benttiey’s Asters 
Introductions of last year, and ones which have received many recommendations. 
The flowers measure four to five inches in diameter, and the long stems—thirt}' 
to forty inches—render it invaluable for cutting; white or pink. Per pkt. 25 cts. 
This is the finest strain of Single Petunia seed ever grown in the States. 
Combines all the qualities of brilliancy, with size of flower included; an acquisition never before offered. Pkt. 20 cts.

A true gem under the class of Comet-Asters, will be very favorably received by all growers of cut-flowers. The finch' curled 
flowers, resembling a Chrysanthemum, are raised upon long stems, and open in a 
glowing scarlet, turning at the close of the period of flowering into dark scarlet.
