THUNBERGIA ALATA. 
A dainty little climber, pretty for garden 
vases, rustic work, trellises or for trailing on 
the ground. The flowers are very pretty, 
about the size of a silver quarter, and appear 
in white, yellow, orange and buff, some of 
them having white centers, others black. 
They continue in bloom all summer. Very 
easy of cultivation. Try it; it cannot fail to 
give satisfaction. Best mixed. Pkt., 3 cts.

STELLA SUNFLOWER. 
The plant has nothing of the 
coarse, straggling appearance of 
of the common garden sunflower, 
but with its small, graceful, glossy 
green leaves is in itself quite or¬ 
namental. Not over four feet 
high, it can be raised where space 
will not allow the taller varieties. 
Its blossoms, miniature single 
sunflowers, three inches across, of 
E urest golden yellow with small 
lack centers, grow on long stems, 
splendid for cutting. Borne in 
profusion all summer. Pkt., 4c. 
CALIFORNIA 
DOUBLE SUNFLOWER. 
A wonderfully handsome dou¬ 
ble sunflower, a vast improve¬ 
ment on any I have before offered. 
The plant grows to a height of 
four or five feet, bearing at its 
summit an immense flower—and 
yet not over large—densely dou¬ 
ble, which lifts its face to the sun 
for weeks. There are many other 
blossoms equally showy, but those 
on the side branches are not quite 
as large. This is a most novel 
and desirable plant. Pkt., 5 cts. 
SCARLET RUNNER. 
The bean known ns Scarlet Run¬ 
ner is highly ornamental ns well 
ns useful. It is a rapid climber, 
growing to a height of ten feet, 
and both in foliage and flower is 
as pretty as many of its more ar¬ 
istocratic neighbors. Pkt., 3c. 
VIRGINIAN STOCK 
Desirable little plants, bearing 
small flowers of delicate mixed 
colors, ranging from white thro' 
shades of lilac, lavender and ma¬ 
genta. Wonderfully pretty in a 
mass, or for edgings. Found in 
all old F.nglisli gardens. Annual.

SWEET WILLIAM (Diantliua Barbatua). 
New and Improved varieties of this old fashioned 
flower are now offered, producing large heads of varied 
colors. Its fragrance and early flowering add to its 
popularity, while its hardiness especially adapts it for 
the perennial bed. Although a hardy perennial, the 
new plants do better, and seed should be sown every 
year or two. If sown in the fall it will make fine bloom¬ 
ing plants the following spring. Finest double and 
single, mixed. Pkt., it cts.
