NASTURTIUMS. We call especial attention to our strains of Tall 
and Dwarf Nasturtiums. They do not consist, as is generally 
the case, of the commoner free-seeding sorts but arc the really 
beautiful , scarcer , named varieties . We have them grown for us 
by the most successful cultivator of this popular flower in the world. 
We assort the varieties ourselves, and can thus assure customers 
of their obtaining, not only the most vigorous strain in existence, 
but the greatest number of shades and delicate colors. The 
mixture includes, — white, pink, rose, scarlet, crimson, brick, 
claret, garnet, orange, primrose, yellow, spotted and countless 
combinations of these and other shades. 
There is no annual so easily grown from seed and none that produces such continuous brilliancy of 
effect in the garden from June until October or provides cut flowers for 
the house so abundantly.

PETUNIA. Breck’s Prize, ( Large, Double-Floivered and Fringed.) These are being received with marked 
favor, for bedding and as pot plants. The strain is much improved and is superior to any obtainable in 
delicacy and variety of coloring, as well as in size, doubleness and neatness of fringing. Pkt., 50 cents. 
POPPY. ( Papaver .) These are as desirable a class of 
flowers to grow as any known to us. They are easily 
cultivated, and although many of the varieties are an¬ 
nuals, they soon become naturalized, and, if undisturbed, 
reproduce themselves, year after year. They prefer rich, 
sandy soil but can be grown anywhere except in damp 
situations. Complete list of poppies will be found on 
page 73. We call special attention to the following 
sorts : — 
PAPAVER GLAUCUM. Tulip Poppy. An annual Poppy 
from twenty to twenty-four inches high, with beautifully 
shaped large flowers, four inches across, of a most bril¬ 
liant dark scarlet. The two outside petals are double 
the size of the inner ones, and each pair forms by itself 
a round cup flower, which nearly resembles a single 
Tulip. Pkt., 15 cents. 
Poppy. 
A beautiful sunset is not more 
varied or brilliant in color than 
are your Nasturtiums.
