Dwarf Bush Balsam 
Unlike the taller growing Balsams, the flowers 
of the Bush Balsam are carried in clusters at the 
tips of the stems, making a fine show of color 
when in full bloom. The plants are 8 to 10 inches 
high, very compact, and literally covered with 
double flowers in a nice range of colors. This 
makes an attractive pot-plant. Mixed. Pkt. 
15 cts.; ^oz. 35 cts.; 65 cts.; oz. $2.25. 
Orange Sunshine Calendula 
The running mate of Chrysantha or Sunshine, 
having the same informal, loose petals but of a 
golden orange color, with very long, strong stems 
on 2-foot plants. Pkt. 15 cts.; 3^oz. 35 cts.; oz. $1; 
MIb. $3.25, 
Brilliant Mixed Coleus 
This splendid strain has slightly smaller leaves than our superb Mammoth Rain¬ 
bow strain, but is very excellent for bedding. The leaves are exquisitely veined 
and blotched in a great number of brilliant color combinations. For those who can¬ 
not afford a higher-priced strain, this is exceptional. Pkt. 10 cts.; ^oz. 30 cts.; 
34oz. 90 cts.; oz. $3. 
Sensation Mixed Cosmos 
Huge flowers, 4 to 5 inches across, in white, and rose and pink shades, with broad, 
heavy fluted petals produced on long, strong stems in 9 to 10 weeks from seed on 
heavy-foliaged 4-foot plants. For huge flowers, space the plants 3 to 4 feet apart 
and disbud. Pkt. 15 cts.; 34oz. 25 cts.; oz. 65 cts.; $2. 
Firefly Cuphea 
In our quest for a plant which is 
dwarf, compact, neat in habit, and 
showy for pot-plant sale, it is very grati¬ 
fying to be able to offer this new easily 
grown annual. The flowers are small 
and delicately formed, fiery cerise-red in 
color, and are freely produced on the 
compact plants which grow 10 to 12 
inches high with a spread of about 12 
inches. A plant when in full bloom re¬ 
sembles a ball of fire. It is a tender 
annual, flowering readily in 12 to 14 
weeks from the time the seed is sown, 
and blooming profusely throughout the 
summer months. We strongly urge all 
who grow pot-plants for sale to try Fire¬ 
fly Cuphea this year as we believe it will 
be a money-maker. Pkt. 25 cts.; 3 toz. 
35 cts.; 3^oz. 95 cts.
