1915 Novelties of European Origin 
Bedding Petunia — Deep Violet Blue 
When we saw this novelty offered last year we were skeptical as to the desirability of the 
color. In the meantime we have seen the plants and blooms, and on first sight we became 
enraptured with its beauty, its richness and its clearness. The deepest-colored violets could 
not shine forth more brilliant. It is absolutely clear in its shade, no trace of red visible, and wo 
recommend it with absolute confidence that it will prove a delight and surprise Ut Hood’s 
Violet).

Rehmannia Angulata (Pink Perfection) 
A biennial of Chinese origin, which should be grown here as a half-hardy annual by sowing 
seeds early in the hot-bed or house if it is wanted for the garden. It is also well suited to be 
grown in conservatories. The broad, decorative foliage remains within 0 inches of the ground. 
The massive spikes grow 4 to 5 feet tall, and produce their flowers within a few inches from 
the base. The large flowers resemble those of the Incarvillea, are of a clear bright pink color, 
with a distinct pale-pink throat, the markings of which vary greatly. Very effective in masses

New Glorious Salpiglossis 
The most important novelty of the year. This new strain of one of the greatest garden 
favorites grows 2]/ 2 feet high and is extremely free flowering. Its wonderful feature is the 
gigantic size of its blooms, as they average not less than 3 to 4 inches in diameter. Not less 
remarkable is the form of the flower, resembling that of a gloxinia, and the brilliancy of the 
colors to be seen in this new race.

Viscaria Oculata Nana Compacta 
Another one of the so-called Modest Flowers which we are glad to bring to the notice of 
the American gardener. There is a great army of these flowers unknown to most of the flower 
lovers, because in our infancy we take only to large, massive blossoms, while in the more modest 
flowers we find later the true beauty. The plant mentioned above resembles greatly a Bedding 
Lobelia, except that plant, foliage and flower is about twice its size. The plant attains a height 
of 8 to 10 inches, and is simply showered with blossoms of red, white and blue; the colors them¬ 
selves should appeal to every American. Seeds may be sown out of doors in May
