Salpiglossis Large-Flowering Emperor. 
Salpiglossis is a favorite garden annual, producing during the summer large petunia- 
uke flowers of blue, yellow, red, etc., all of which are intricately veined and netted with some 
other color. The Emperor type bears its flowers along one tall main stem about 30 inches 
high; this new dwarf strain differs only in height, 18 to 20 inches; very showy for garden 
decoration. Mixed Colors . Pkt. 25c. 
This wonderfully showy annual 
deserves to be widely known 
and cultivated. Attaining a 
height of about 16 inches, branch¬ 
ing freely and yet of compact 
pyramidal form, it throws well 
above its charming feathery 
foliage a multitude . of large 
panicles of beautiful blossoms. 
Of great effect in the mass, 
they are also most handsome 
individually; the ground color is 
mostly white dotted with delicate 
rose, while the upper lip is 
adorned in the centre by a spot 
varying in shade between 
golden-yellow, carmine, rose and 
bright brown. These lovely 
Schizanthus, literally covered as 
they are with their dainty flowers, 
make excellent pot plants, and 
are unsurpassed for the decora¬ 
tion of apartments or cool green¬ 
houses, as they remain 6 to 8 
weeks in bloom. Pkt. of 40 
seeds, 25c.

“7 am greatly pleased with the Colossal Ten-weeks' Stocks raised from seed bought of you. They bloomed 
beautifully from early summer until the present time (Nov. 3), but none of them went to seed, so I have 
ordered another packet, as I do not know of a flower which possesses more merits.” 
Mrs. JOHN HAMAN, Syracuse, N. Y. 
“We have beautiful stocks from your 
seed', they took the first premium at 
our fair.”

STOKESIA CYANEA. 
(Blue Cornflower Aster.) 
'7^'HIS beautiful hardy perennial plant is not so well known as it 
deserves to be. No garden, large or small, should be without 
it. As a single specimen or group in the herbaceous 
border it makes for itself a place that cannot be filled by any other 
hardy plant, while for beds or masses of any size it is very attractive. 
It is of the easiest culture, blooming the first year from seed, and 
succeeding in any open sunny position. The plants grow from 18 to 
24 inches high and begin flowering in July, continuing without in¬ 
terruption till late in October to produce their handsome lavender- 
blue cornflower-like blossoms 4 to 5 inches across on long stems, 
rendering them highly valuable for cutting, supplying a shade of 
color not overplentiful at any season of the year. Pkt. 15c.
