NEW DOUBLE 
YELLOW DATURA. 
Like the single Datura in 
shape and size, only instead 
of one funnel there are two 
or three distinct funnels 
growing one within the oth¬ 
er, of a beautiful, soft,golden 
yellow color. This is far 
superior in every respect to 
the “Cornucopia,” which 
has been sold the last year 
or two as a novelty, giving 
three times as many blos¬ 
soms and commencing to 
bloom far earlier, the flow¬ 
ers being in addition de¬ 
liciously fragrant. This 
proved last season all and 
more than the highly com¬ 
mendatory catalogue de¬ 
scription, and for cutting 
lasted much better than the 
single. Pkt., 5 cts.

GIANT ESCHSCHOLTZIA. 
A lew Eschscholtzia, offered for the first time this year by Mrs. Shep¬ 
herd, of California, who has made a nation-wide reputation for her Cos¬ 
mos. She says: “ These Giant Esclisclioltzias measure from 3 # to 6 
inches in diameter. The petals are large and overlapping, some being 
delicately waved at the edges, some very deep with flaring edges, some 
saucer-shaped, others quite flat; in some the contrast between the orange 
and yellow is very marked, while in others the orange blends almost 
imperceptibly into the yellow. In color they are a clear, beautiful yel¬ 
low variously marked with orange. The plants begin blooming when 
very young and continue to bloom profusely for several months.” Pkt.,Oc. 
The blossom is large and funnel-shaped, measuring five or 
more inches across, and delicately scented, the throat being 
_ soft and velvety, of a beautiful creamy white, delicately tinted 
t lilac. As many ns 200 blossoms have been borne by a single 
- plant in a season. It is variously called “Sweet Nightingale,” 
1 f 'Sweet Jessamine" or “Moon Flower.” Although pereuuial, it 
may be treated ns an annual. Pkt., 3 cts.
