SPECIALTIES 
Giant-Flowering Heliotropes 
The heads of blossoms of this new type often measure a foot 
across; the individual florets are also very large, and their de¬ 
licious perfume is just as enchanting as in the old, small-flower¬ 
ing types. The plants, 18 inches high, are healthy, bushy and 
compact; the leaves are large and luxuriant. Seed sown in the 
spring produces full-grown, profuse-flowering plants by July, 
which flower in the garden until cut down by frost or are 
grown in pots for winter flowers. (See cut.)

Impatiens HolstiL 
A new and handsome plant from East Africa. It 
forms bushes 1£ to 2 feet nigh and resembles in habit, 
foliage and shape of flowers the popular Impatiens Sul- 
tanii, but surpassing the latter by far by its quicker and 
more vigorous growth and its much larger flowers and the 
greater quantity produced. The flowers, lfc to 1$ 
inches across, are of brilliant vermilion, a gorgeous coloring 
contrasting beautifully to the dark green foliage. In a 
half-sliadv situation the plants grow luxuriantly out-of- 
doors ana form effective and unusually showy flower beds 
by their great abundance of bloom. If grown in pots it 
will be a first-class plant. Sown on heat in March the seed¬ 
lings may be planted out end of May and will be continuously 
in bloom from June until the frost destroys them. .Pkt. 25c. 
Silver-Striped Japan Hop. 
(Humulus Japonicus Folia Variegata.) 
A strikingly beautiful variety of the Japan Hop Vine; the leaves 
are liberally and distinctly striped and blotched with silvery-white and 
gray on deep green. It is a rapid summer climber, in 3 or 4 weeks’ time 
attaining a height of 20 to 30 feet; resembling the common hop, but, 
being an annual, attains full perfec¬ 
tion the first season. The foliage 
is luxuriant, making a dense 
covering. One of the best 
plants for covering ver¬ 
andas, trellises, etc. 
Heat, drought 
and insects do 
not trouble 
it.

G^ybrTd 0 Geraniums 
A strain of seed saved from grand new Hybrids all greatly enlarged and im¬ 
proved. The flowers are extra large, round, of the most perfect forms, borne on 
splendid trusses, some of them forming balls 16 inches in circumference. The colors 
include shades of scarlet and crimson, rose, pink, salmon,cream veined pink, blush, 
snowy-white and all of the new auriole types with lovely rings and large white eyes 
as well as the new Bird’s-egg or spotted type. These all stand the hot sun, and, 
although perennials, they will produce nice bushy plants and flowers from seeds 
sown the same season. The gorgeous flowers, borne continuously, render these 
most popular plants for pot culture in winter or for bedding out in summer. 12 to 
18 inches high.
