daisy-like yellow flowers, well suited for cutting, which are borne in great abundance. Thrives in 
any good soil, and is quite hardy. 10 cts. each, $i per doz. d. Seeds', 5 cts. per pkt.

white, lily-shaped flowers. 20 cts. each. d.

colors and sizes. As a rule they like moist, sandy situations, and sunlight. Ordinary garden soil 
will answer for those herein offered. There is a strong sentiment in New England, among some of

dwarfed of any here named. Flowers large, blue, yellow and white. It comes so much before the 
others that I have always been able to get pure seed, because its capsules are, as a rule, all fertilized 
before any of the other species come into flower. 10 cts. each, $1 per doz. e . Seeds, 10c. per pkt.
