“The little birds have never sung as sweet as those 1 know , 
A flitting through the gardens where blushing sweet peas grow ."—Nelly Hart Woodworth. 
There is nothing in the floral line more graceful or pleasing than the charming and fragrant Sweet Peas. 
There is no doubt in our minds that they are the most popular of 
all flowers. As an evidence of this fact the growers for the past two 
seasons have failed to supply adequate quantities to meet the growing 
demand, and many seedsmen were forced to make up mixtures that con¬ 
tained but few, if any, of the choice varieties. 
We have for several seasons applied our best efforts toward improv¬ 
ing, perfecting, as well as increasing our stock of the mixture which we 
now introduce for the first season as “Vick’s Invincible,” and which, 
we have the utmost confidence, will please the most exacting. 
For flowers of lively yet delicate colors, varying from the pearly white to the darkest and richest reds and purples, this “ Invincible Mixture ’ 
leads, simply because it is the result of culling, season after season, only the choicest and the best from the flowers of the year previous; as it were. 
“ The survival of the Attest.” 
The many and various colored and shaded blooms cannot fail to give perfect satisfaction. For new varieties sec page 12.

SPIDER LILY. P ANCRA TIU M CAR RIBBGEUM. 
A beautiful flowering bulb of the earliest culture, which produces immense clusters of large, white, fragrant flowers. The center of the flower 
is cup-shaped and the divisions drawn out into long, slender processes, which have been compared to Spider’s legs, hence the name “ SPIDER LILY.’ 
It is a rare and meritorious plant. 
After the season’s growth they should be kept in a partially dormant state, receiving only water enough to keep the soil slightly moist. 
Strong bulbs, each , 25 cents; three for 60 cents. 
Qalliopsis (|Oldep 
During the past two years a new variety of 
dwarf growth has been on trial with us, and has 
proved most satisfactory and desirable plant. It 
grows to a height of only ten or twelve inches and 
blooms profusely. The flowers, or heads, are an 
inch and a half or two inches in diameter, the mar¬ 
gin of a fine bright yellow and the center a rich 
maroon. This variety is known as the Golden 
King, and will become very popular when known. 
Its low-growing habit will make it available in 
many places where the taller varieties would be 
unsuitable, hence it will not replace or come into 
competition with them, but will add to the rich¬ 
ness and brightness of our gardens by its own 
peculiar beauty. 
The Calliopsis as a garden flower, is one of the 
most popular of the annuals, and no one acquaint¬ 
ed with it will omit it from a collection. As a 
flower it is equally admired in a growing or a cut 
state, and it has become customary in good gar¬ 
dens to raise it in liberal quantities.
