JAPANESE IRIS 
(Iris Kaempferi). 
All know the beauty of the Iris 
family. The Kaempferi begins 
flowering in July and continues 
for five or six weeks, the blooms 
rivaling the lily in stateliness and 
the orchids in rich color. Hardy 
perennial. Mixed. Pkt., 5 cts. 
LYCHNIS CHALCEDONICA. 
Every list of desirable peren¬ 
nials contains the Lychnis. It 
blooms the first year, and if kept 
from seeding will be covered for 
months with its brilliant scarlet 
flowers. It is the most siriking 
and noticeable thing in the gar¬ 
den. Pkt., 3 cts. 
Malope Grandiflora Rubra. 
A hardy annual of the Mallow 
family. The plant grows three 
or four feet high and bears large 
crimson flowers of great bril¬ 
liance. Of easy cultivation, this 
should be more generally planted. 
Pkt., 3 cts. 
MARGUERITE CARNATION. 
Many beautiful varieties of Carnations may be 
obtained from seed, equaling the greenhouse- 
grown blooms in fullness and fragrance. These 
new favorites are a great advance over the old varieties, as they 
will be in blossom in from two to four months from seed sown in 
the open ground. If taken up and cut back they make fine plants 
for the window in winter, or seed may be sown at any time in pots 
for indoor blooming. Fully eighty per cent will come double. 
Mixed. Pkt. 5 cts.

soms are very double, with petals beautifully fringed, and under 
proper cultivation will often measure three inches across. Mixed, 
including the new yellow carnation. Pkt., 8 cts. 
MARGUERITE CENTAUREA. 
A first cousin of the Bachelor’s Button, but the petals that edge 
the flowers are much larger, more fluted, and finely fringed, while 
the center.is very full and fluffy. The flowers are pure white, 
about the size of a large carnation, splendid for cutting. Pkt., 4 cts.

ELDORADO MARIGOLD. 
The Eldorado grows very rank and tall and is surmounted by 
great golden balls, sometimes fourteen inches in circumference. 
As many as fifty or sixty blossoms have been counted on a single 
plant at one time. The flowers are very double, with petals quilled 
as in the Dahlia, appearing in shades of lemon, golden or orange 
yellow. It is by far the handsomest of all the Marigolds. Massed 
With dark reds, such as the Fringed Cockscomb or Prince’s Feather 
(Amaranthus), it makes a gorgeous display. Pkt., 3 cts. 
DWARF FRENCH MARIGOLDS. 
Those who object to the Marigold because it is coarse and strag¬ 
gling will find in the dwarf varieties very compact and ornamental 
plants. The miniature blossoms, too, in various shades of yellow 
and bronze, make a brilliant show in the garden. Children enjoy 
them because they are so easy to grow. Mixed, double and single. 
Pkt., 3 cts. 
LEGION OF HONOR.

centers being of a reddish, velvety brown, while the outer half is 
a rich, golden yellow. Pkt., 3 cts.

A mixed packet containing all my varieties. Pkt., 3 cts.
