double white Feverfew, bearing 
a profusion of button-like flow¬ 
ers, suitable for out-door or for 
P 9 t culture. Half-hard)' peren¬ 
nial, although it may be treated

Parthenifolium Aurcuin. 
Golden Feather. This is 
the variety so much used as an 
edging plant, or to give contrast 
to the foliage bed. Its quill- 
petaled flowers, forming little 
balls of golden yellow encased 
in a fringy white border, are in 
fine contrast to the glossy yel¬ 
low of its finely-cut foliage. 
Hardy perennial. ’Pkt., & eta.

FLOWERING MAPLE (Abutilon). 
The florists advertise each year new and desirable varie¬ 
ties of these always popular plants, but the seed here offered 
will give you as choice a selection, being grown from many 
of the newer and charming kinds. The colors range from 
pure white, straw, and yellow, to rose, crimson and scarlet, 
with the beautiful veins and markings peculiar to these del¬ 
icate swinging bells. They bloom from seed when ten or 
twelve inches nigh. Mixed. Pkt., 6 cts. 
FORGET-ME-NOT, VICTORIA. 
As popular now as in days of old when a German knight 
lost his life in trying to secure, for his lady-love, the tiny 
blue flower, growing on the banks of the Danube, crying, ns 
he fell into the river, “Vergiss mein nicht!” (Forget me not), 
thus naming this beautiful flower and making it an emblem 
of fidelity. A charming, deep blue variety. Perennial.

FOUR O’CLOCK 
(MirabiliB Jalapa). 
Also called “Marvel of Peru,” and by the 
French, “beauty of the Night.” The Foul 
O’clock is so easily grown, and makes such 
a beautiful show the latter part of the day 
and early morning, that it always finds a 
place in the annual garden. It should be 
grown for the children, if for no other pur 
pose, from which they may be allowed to 
pick freely, they so enjoy its bright colors 
and sweet fragrance. Mixed, nil colors, some 
with dark green and others with yellowish- 
green foliage. Pkt., 21 cts.
