GEfiTAUREA IJWPEHIALIS. 
(IMPERIAL SWEET SULTAN.) 
These new varieties of the old Sweet Sultan are grand improve¬ 
ments, producing long-stemmed blossoms 3 to 4 inches across, of 
graceful, airy effect, and most deliciously fragrant. The colors are 
varied from glistening white through shades of red, from flesh-pink 
to crimson and through blues from silvery-lilac to royal-purple, 
some of them having centres of some distinct color, as violet with 
white centre, etc.; for bouquets, vases, or as corsage flowers they 
are of exceptional value. If cut scarcely opened they will last for 
ten days in water. The plants are of the easiest culture, flowering 
freely in the garden the first summer from seed sown in the spring. 
They are of strong, bushy form, 2 to 3 feet high. (See cut.)

finest hardy perennials for permanent garden decoration. This variety is the 
latest, finest and most valuable of all; it is hardy; of compact, bushy growth, 
bearing in profusion, throughout the season, single white Daisy flowers of 
immense size, often more than 4 inches across, on stems 1^ to 2 feet long. (See

flowers, 3 to 4 inches across. They are of splendid substance and, having 
long stems, are highly prized for cutting, lasting in water fully a week. It 
flowers the first season from spring-sown seed, and comes up every summer in 
the same beauty for many years, surviving the severest wdnters. Pkt. 10c.

from seed, and that all of the magnificent new varieties were raised from hy¬ 
bridized seed, similar to that we are now offering. (See cut.)
