NEW POMPONE ZINNIAS. 
The flowers of these new Zinnias are remarkably fine, per¬ 
fect in form and varied in color. The colors are indescriba¬ 
ble. They range from pure white, though cream and buff, 
to a clear chrome yellow. Then, again, there is a series of 
tints ranging from the softest pinks to the deepest crimsons, 
and fiery coppers and reds; and some are curiously two col¬ 
ored, owing to the florets being pale when first expanded, 
and afterward changing to a deeper hue. Zinnias of all 
kinds are so important in the garden, particularly in late 
summer and early autumn, that this new strain must speed¬ 
ily become most popular. Per packet lo cents; 3 packets 
for 25 cents. 
HENDERSON’S ZEBRA ZINNIAS. 
Without exception, this is the most beautiful and brilliant 
selection of Double Zinnias we have ever seen. All the 
flowers produced from the seed we offer will not be striped, 
but a large percentage of the plants will be; those that are 
self-colored will be found brilliant in the e.xtreme. An inter¬ 
esting characteristic of the Zebra Zinnia is a tendency 
shown by some of the plants to throw out a branch on which the flowers are self-col¬ 
ored, while all the other blooms are variegated or striped, making a striking and 
unique contrast. The flowers of this selection are perfect in shape, and as evenly 
imbricated as a Camellia. Seed in mixed colors only. Per packet 10 cents. 
NEW GIANT WHITE SPIRAL MIGNONETTE. 
NEW GIANT WHITE MlCMONETTE. 
We think this new Mignonette well worthy of trial, and give herewith the intro¬ 
ducer’s description. 
“This grand Mignonette grows two or three feet high, perfectly erect, and we 
measured spikes of bloom on our ground this season which were fifteen inches long. 
Its color is pure snow white, and thegrand spikes of bloom can be seen for along 
distance, and being so beautiful in form and color, much unlike anything else in culti¬ 
vation, it attracts the attention of everybody. Its fragrance is rich and powerful, and 
it will produce twice as much bloom as any other variety. Seed can be sown in the 
open ground in April or May, where it will germinate very quickly and grow rapidly, 
and commence blooming early in June. If plan ted in pots at anytime during the 
year they will soon bloom, and make most beautiful pot plants especially in the winter 
and spring. Try it, and you will never cultivate a garden without it. It will far ex¬ 
ceed expectations. Packet, 10 cents, 3 packets for 25 cents. 
NEW POMPONE ZINNI.AS. 
HUMULUS 
JAPONICUS. 
Better than any description 
we could give of this beauti¬ 
ful new Annual Japanese 
Hop is THE ILLUSTRATION 
herewith, which was accurate¬ 
ly drawn from a single vine. 
It is a very ornamental 
and EXTREMELY FAST GROW¬ 
ING climber. While the foli¬ 
age resembles in shape that of ' 
the common hop, it has more 
incisions, is very dense, and 
of a lively green; the stems 
and leaves are somewhat 
rough and hairy. The prin¬ 
cipal and most valuable fea¬ 
ture of this new climbing 
plant is that it can be sown in 
the open ground in spring, 
and that it attains enormous 
dimensions in a very short 
time. Undoubtedly one of 
the best climbers for covering 
verandas, trellises, etc., never 
suffering from the heat, but 
retaining its fresh and lively 
green color until late in the 
autumn. Per packet 15 cts. 
LOBELIA, 
,, WHITE GEM. 
This lovely, new compact 
annual Lobelia is well repre. 
sented in the above illustra¬ 
tion. The beautiful little 
plants grow only four tO/fi\e 
inches high, and are densely 
covered with charming, pure 
white flowers. Per packet 10 
cts.; 3 packets for 25 cts. 
HUMULUS JAPONICUS. 
HENDERSON’S NEW MAMMOTH FLOWERING VERBENA. 
'I'he characteristics of this new strain of Verbenas, are that when well grown, every 
fl »wer truss measures over nine inches in circumference, while the single florets are as 
large as a twenty-five cent piece; the plant also has the peculiarity ofbeing more vigor¬ 
ous ill growth than the ordinary Verbenas. This great improvement in size is cer¬ 
tain to increase the popularity of the Verbena, and we may say that not once in a 
decade is a seed house able to offer anything so rdtogether distinct and so surpris¬ 
ingly beautiful as this new strain of Verbenas; the colors of which present the same 
wide range as the ordinaiy type. Verbenas are so easily raised from seed that we 
are sure this new large-flowering strain will immediately become very popular. To 
place it within the reach of all, we offer it now, the first year, as low as it can ever 
be sold, and are .sure that all purchasers will be delighted with it. The seed which 
1 offer has been obtained direct from Mr. Henderson. Per packet 25 cents. 
LOBELIA—star of Ischl. 
Of very dwarf erect growth, only 4 to 6 inches high, and forming dense balls of 
charming dark-blue flowers. This new variety has been largely used in the orna¬ 
mental grounds of Forest ITill Cemetery, Boston, where it was much admired. The 
uniform habit of growth and striking contrast of colors make these two new varieties 
very useful for bedding. Per packet 10 cts.; 3 packets for 25 cts. One packet of 
the two varieties for 15 cts.
