f The strains of this universal favorite 
offered by us are saved from the 
best collections, and are Prize 
Winners wherever exhibited. 
Splendid greenhouse plants with 
beautifully striped, blotched and 
variegated flowers. Sow in pans 
or shallow boxes filled with light 
sandy soil that has been sifted. 
Sow moderately 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-incli 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 flow¬ 
ers to any of the European selec¬ 
tions. We especially recommend 
it. Florists and private gardeners 
throughout the United States en¬ 
dorse its superiority. 
Fine summer blooming plants with 
magnificent pea-shaped flowers. 
Bedding plants with beautiful col¬ 
ored foliage. Easily grown from 
seed. 
Continual bloomers. Adapted for 
bedding and for house and conser¬ 
vatory decoration. 
Easily grown, free-flowering, bulbous 
plants for pot culture. Breck’s 
Imperial is unsurpassed for size, 
form, profusion and variety of 
delicate colored flowers. It has 
eclipsed all others on the exhibi¬ 
tion tables at the Mass. Horticul¬ 
tural Society’s exhibitions. 
The several varieties offered here are 
grown for us by the leading cycla¬ 
men growers of Europe, and are 
at least equal in quality to any ob¬ 
tainable. 
Bush Hill Pioneer is the first of a 
new race ; each petal has a distinct 
crest or feather upon its face. 
Phe Double Flowered sort makes a 
fine contrast to the single varieties. 
Ornamental plants for greenhouse, 
also useful for vases. Indivisa has 
narrow, green leaves. The mid rib 
of Veitchii is a deep red color. 
Sweet-scented bulbous plants. 
Well known plants of easy culture. 
They require a firm, rich soil and 
shady location. 
Velvety foliage, spotted flowers. 
Allied to Gloxinia. 
The seed here offered embraces the 
cream of several European Prize 
Collections. It is the very choicest 
obtainable, and includes colors , 
shades and markings that beggar 
description. 
Cyclops is carmine with white edge
