Seeds and bulbs are forwarded as ready All seeds, but 
not actual bulbs or live plants, are postpaid. Safe arrival 
is guaranteed. Goods are offered subject to arrival or

I try to send out only good seeds, but I cannot control 
the conditions under which they are planted. I give no

ductiveness, or any other matter of any seeds, bulbs, or 
plants I sell, and I will not be responsible for the crop. 
Please remit in full with your order, by postal

checks will be accepted, however, should it not be 
convenient to get a money order, but if remittance 
is made by check, be sure to add five cents, (not 
5%) to the total sum, this being about our 
average cost per check, (not per dollar), for 
handling, bank collection charges, etc. 
Orders of less than fifty cents are filled at an 
actual loss, and I must reserve the right to re¬ 
fuse such.

JAPANESE SILVER VIOLET 
A dainty exquisite from mountains of Japan. Blossoms 
are pink in effect, but actually it is a netting of rose over 
cream. Foliage densities, cleft and re-cleft, gleam as though 
over-laid with thin silver-plating. Blooms freely in spring, 
and again in late autumn Of fullest hardiness, “h” culture. 
Pkt. 25c. 
THE ORIENTAL LARKSPUR 
A rare and highly distinct annual species from Kurdistan, 
botanically Delphinium orientalis. It makes broad bushes 
of plants, to a height of 28 inches, long loaded with bloom. 
The blossom color is a strikingly rich and unusual shade of 
true Tyrian purple, deep and velvety. It is hard to describe 
the precise effect of the plant, but it attracts a vast deal 
of attention from trial ground visitors when it is in flower. 
Few connect it with the usual annual Larkspur, to which, 
indeed, it is not very closely allied. As with all Larkspurs, 
seed germinates best if sown while soil is cool. Pkt. 20c. 
THE YELLOW ,, PSNK ,, 
This contradictory name belongs to the one species of 
the Hardy Garden Pinks that carries flowers of yellow in¬ 
stead of the usual roseate tints. The blossoms, a pleasing 
shade of clear lemon, are borne in terminal clusters on many 
spreading stems, over a period of some two months. It 
grows to about 18 inches, and is fully hardy. Botanically it 
is Dianthus Knappi. Pkt. 20c. 
IRIS DICHOTOMA 
Very different from other Irises, with blossoms of ex¬ 
quisite daintiness, cool translucent lavender, with rich 
brown markings. The flowers are carried in tall sprays, 
to four feet, slenderly branching, and come in late July 
and August, after other Irises are done. Fragrant. Likes 
full sun. Seed germinates quickly and strongly, without 
special care. It is the one Iris that often blooms the first 
year from seed. Pkt. 15c; Y% oz. 40c; *4 oz. 75c; 1 oz. $2.50. 
HOUSE PLANT SURPRISE 
Here you are due for delightful amazement. Seeds of 
very many different house plants in one great mixture, some

from the coarse, since the latter will need deeper covering. 
Give them all a fair chance and ample time. Sold only in 
extra-size packets at 25c each.

of 2800 new or unusual flowers, is free upon 
direct request. If you are really interested,
