Sweet William. 
(DIANTHUS BARBATUS ANNUS.) 
One of the finest novelties of the season. The old 
favorite Sweet William, as all know, does not flower 
until the second year from seed, but this new type 
commences blooming in early summer from spring- 
sown seed and continues in flower for several weeks. 
The phints are of the same habit as the perennial kinds, 
producing fine heads of bloom of various colors — white, 
crimson, rose-pink, etc., many of which are broadly

“ Pansy-Violets. 
New Large-Flowering Hybrids. 
(Viola Cornuta Grandiflora Hybrida.) 
This new and improved strain 
produces beautiful pansy - like 
blossoms, 2 to 2h inches across 
of great substance and of most 
brilliant colors, including white, 
lemon, orange, claret, crimson, 
maroon, lavender, purple, silver- 
gray, rose, black, blue, etc.; also 
fancy varieties tinted, striped, 
blotched, feathered, picotee-edged, 
etc. The plants are hardy, of 
vigorous growth, forming deep-rooting, compact, tufted clumps. Planted in masses or lines they 
form perfect mats covered with myriads of flowers from spring until cold weather. They are more 
perennial in character than pansies, throwing out new roots annually, adapting them to permanent- 
beds, edgings, etc. The flowers are borne on long stems which shoot up like those of the violet 
directly from the roots, which accounts for their continuous bloom for nine months in. the year. 
Many of them are as highly scented as the sweetest violet.
