Cupid. The praises of this dwarf white Sweet Pea have been ex¬ 
tensively advertised of late. It does wonderfully well in some lo¬ 
calities, and is recommended especially as an edging or a pot 
plant. Many have been debarred from trying this novelty because 
of the high prices charged, so I offer it this j'ear at a price that 
all can afford. First class seed, raised by a California specialist.

fiery scarlet. It has shades of bufT, pink, rose, etc., besides having

SMILAX. 
No climbing plant surpasses the Sm^lax, not 
only for the graceful beauty of the vine, but 
for its value in decoration. The seed should be 
sown in pots or boxes, as it is very slow to germ¬ 
inate, requiring a month or more} but it is easy 
to cultivate. Although a perennial, it is better 
to start new plants each year, and not try to keep 
them after the leaves turn yellow. Pkt., 5 cts.

SENSITIVE PLANT 
(Mimosa Pudlca). 
A really pretty plant with 
divided, fern-like foliage and attractive 
pink blossoms, but it is cultivated 
more for its curious habit of closing 
its leaves at the slightest touch. Chil¬ 
dren always enjoy it. Tender annual.
