IvACB VIMEJ, 
The Mountain Fringe, a beautiful 
Cbp^bing plant, desirable both on account 
of its intrinsic beauty and for its value in 
decoration. It is a hardy biennial, bear¬ 
ing curiously shaped clusters of small 
white flowers. The delicate, finely cut 
foliage of the first year is valuable for 
green in bouquets, and the long sprays of 
the second year are splendid for decorat¬ 
ing. Once started it perpetuates itself.

Tmpatiens Snltanl 
The Zanzibar Balsam, much prized 
for the window or the summer gar¬ 
den. The foliage is a waxy green, 
and with the semi-transparent 
branches makes the plant in itself 
attractive. Then, it is almost never 
without its bright, rosy carmine flow¬ 
ers. These are single and measure 
from one to one and one-half inches 
in diameter and are very delicate and 
pretty. No plant comes nearer to 
being a perpetual bloomer, and when 
raised in a window it is continually 
self-sowing in the pots near it. 
Pkt., 5 cts. 
LANTANA HYBRIDA. 
An ornamental plant bearing beautiful clusters of 
orange, white or pink blossoms. Suitable for the open 
bed in summer and always desirable for the window 
garden. Perennial. Choice mixed. Pkt., 4 cts. 
Atherton, La., 1899.—“I got flower seeds from you last year 
and they gave me a great deal of pleasure. The Nasturtium 
bed was a thing of beauty; the Gannas were fine, too.” 
Mrs. W. H. Benjamin. 
HARDY HIBISCUS. 
The Marsh Mallow, a hardy 
perennial, blooming the first 
year, beginning in midsum¬ 
mer after the flowering season 
for most of the shrubby per¬ 
ennials is over. My seed is a 
mixture of three choice varie¬ 
ties, namely: “Crimson Eye,” 
having large white blossoms 
with a bright crimson center; 
“Sunset,” flowers canary yel¬ 
low with garnet throat; an l 
“Royal Pink,” soft delicate 
pink, many having a crimson 
center. The blossoms are 
hollyhock-shaped, measur¬ 
ing from six to eight inches 
across, and are very abundant 
and showy. Pkt., 5 cts.
