ELLIOTT’S NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1896 
V 
NEW “SAN SALVADOR” 
COBAEA. 
(Cobaea Macros- 
temma.) 
This new variety from 
San Salvador is much more 
beautiful than Cobaea Scan- 
deus, the foliage being a 
bright vivid green and the 
flowers strikingly effective 
with its very long stamens. 
It is a very rapid grower 
and, although a perennial, 
when used as a greenhouse 
climber can be treated as 
an annual for decoration in 
the garden. Per package, 
25 cts. 
NEW 
GIANT CAL- 
LIOPSIS. 
Golden Glory. 
This new Calliopsis, 
Golden Glory, is well 
named, as the plants bloom¬ 
ing 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 sum¬ 
mer bouquets. The long, 
stiff, graceful stems of this 
new “san Salvador” cobaea. variety render it exception¬ 
ally valuable for cut flow¬ 
ers. The flowers of this New Giant Calliopsis are much larger 
than the C. Lanceolata Grandiflora with deeper yellow, broad, over 
lapping petals, forming an extremely beautiful appearance. This 
is certainly the gem of all Calliopsis and well deserves the attention 
of all flower lovers. Price per packet, 15 cts. 
MIGNONETTE. 
Golden Machet. 
This novel mignonette offered for 
the first time this 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 out¬ 
door culture. 
Elliott’s Mammoth 
The exquisite fragrance 
of this modest flower has 
secured it a place in the 
heart of every lover of 
flowers. This strain which 
we offer is without doubt 
the largest flowered form 
that has yet been seen, and 
the finest Mignonette in 
cultivation. 10c. per pkt. 
MAMMOTH MIGNONETTE. 
NASTURTIUM LILLIPUT. 
(Tropaeolum Labbianum Gompactum.) 
Under this title we have the pleasure to introduce an entirely 
new class of dwarf nasturtium. The plants are in every respect 
smaller than the Tom Thumb, and the dainty little flowers, produced 
in the greatest profusion, and jauntily peering up well above the 
small cut and bushy foliage, make it one of the prettiest anuuals 
imaginable. The blossoms appear in the most varied and showy 
colors, and it is especially noteworthy that some quite new shades 
appear among them, such as are not represented in the old class. 
This feature, and, further, that the seed is much smaller than in the 
Tom Thumb Nasturtiums, and similar to the Lobbianum section, are 
the best evidence that we have here an entirely new* class in the 
Tropaeolum family. Separate colors have not yet been fixed, but 
the mixture will be found highly effective, and no lover of nastur¬ 
tiums should fail to try this new class. Per package, 25 cts. 
HYBRIDS OF MADAME GUNTHER. 
New Climbing Nasturtiums. 
(Hybrids of Madame Gunther.) 
A new section obtained by a French specialist, by artificial 
hybridizing, and distinguished by dark-colored foliage and flowers 
of a richness and variety of coloring not to be found in any of the 
different classes of nasturtiums heretofore grown. There have 
already been produced twenty-two different colors or combinations. 
For covering trellises, fences, arbors, training over vases, rock work, 
etc., nothing con equal the gorgeous effect produced by this excellent 
class. Their ease of culture and the short time required to bring 
them into bloom ; their rapid growth, luxuriant foliage and freedom 
from insects, render them woriny of great popularity. Pei pkg., 
15 cts.; 2 pkgs., 25 cts.; oz., 75 cts.
