PERFECTION SWEET WILLIAM. 
For many years the Sweet William has been esteemed as one of the finest of our hardy garden plants, being 
of easy culture, thriving in any good garden soil and lasting for years. The plants grow about 1 foot high and 
form fine clumps. Our improved Pe. lection strains produce very large florets in large heads in greatest pro¬ 
fusion and of a great variety of ex¬ 
tremely rich colors, including blood- 
crimson, salmon, pink, white, cerise, 
etc. — many having large white eyes, 
and all being deliciously sweet 
scented. (See cut.) 
Harlequin. Large flowers of several 
colors are produced on the same 
plant. Sometimes a head will be 
all crimson, another all pink, an¬ 
other white. etc., but usually florets 
of different colors will be borne in 
one head; very unique and beauti¬ 
ful. Pkt. 10c.

NEW HARDY RED SUNFLOWER. 
This sensational novelty was produced by crossing the hardy Sunflower, Helianthus 
Multiflorus, with an Echinacea. The plant in leaf and habit resembles the Helianthus; it grows 
5 to G feet high and is very floriferous—each plant when established bearing during the season 
from 20 to 30 gigantic flowers, bright red on the face, contrasting vividly with the yellow 
centre; the reverse of the flower is sometimes tinged with the Helianthus yellow. The first 
flowers are produced in June or early July and measure up to 8 and 9 inches across; those 
borne in August and September average 6 inches and the later ones come only 4 to 5 inches 
across. The flowers have remarkable lasting qualities, retaining their full beauty on the plant 
for 2 to 3 weeks. This gigantic red Sunflower will be of great value for the hardy garden and 
herbaceous border, supplying a color much needed in summer and fall flowering hardy plants. 
It is of scarcely less importance as a decorative cut flower and may be cut with stems 18 to 
24 inches long. Plants from seeds sown early in the spring may flower a little towards fall, 
but it is not until the second year and thereafter that full perfection can be expected. 60 
to 70 percent, come true from seed. {See cut.) . Pkt. 25c.
