Novelties and Specialties in Flower Seeds 
New Ageratum Fairy Pink 
Ageratum Fairy Pink is a dwarf, compact Ageratum of a delightful soft salmon rose 
pink color. It begins blooming when not more than 1^ to 2 inches high and continues 
to grow until it has formed a solid, compact mass of blooms. Its maximum height 
when it is in full bloom is not greater than 5 inches. Packet 50c. 
Alyssum Maritimum Nanum, Violet Queen 
The white-flowering Sweet Alyssum has long been an indispensable garden favorite, 
more especially the dwarf, compact forms, which are of such charming effect as edgings 
in the make-up of Summer borders. From the original white form some colored varieties 
have been developed, but none of a very decided shade. The flowers of our new variety, 
however, have a character peculiarly their own being of a very pretty bright violet tint, 
and we have no doubt that Violet Queen will be found of much value as a pleasant 
alternative to the old favorite white-flowering varieties. Packet 35c. 
Antirrhinum, Rumsonhill 
The color of this new Antirrhinum is a brilliant, clear rose. The fact that it is the 
earliest to bloom, the vigor and strength of stem plus the ability to retain its brilliant 
color in the hottest weather makes it a valuable addition to the list of Antirrhinums. 
We can recommend it for either greenhouse or outdoors. When planted outside in 
Spring, it makes an excellent cut flower, blooming till frost. All seed greenhouse grown. 
Packet $1.00 
Aquilegia Clematiflora, Mixed 
This new, spurless Aquilegia, which was obtained by a cross between Scott Elliott 
strain and the common single variety, we feel will be a useful addition to the 
varieties now offered. 
Celosia Royal Velvet 
This cross has been selected for eight years and the colors are all 
there with the exception of reds and scarlets. It is free flowering, 
having as many as 15 flowers, measuring 3 inches across, on a plant. 
Packet 75c. 
Balsam, Double Bush Flowered,Torch 
Bush-flowered Balsams are not at all well known in this country. 
Unlike the taller growing Balsams, the flowers in the little bush-flow¬ 
ered type are carried at the tips of the stems, making a show of color 
rather than foliage. The variety Torch, penetrating vermilion-red 
in color, grows 8 to 10 inches high. This little annual makes an excel¬ 
lent edging plant. Packet 50c., }/i oz. $2.00 
Campanula, Collina B e1Y?lower

gardens The plants are about 8 inches in height and produce a mass 
of shining, deep violet flowers in May and June. Perennial.

is that the seed produces practically no singles and the plants are 
absolutely hardy. Packet $1.00 
Celosia, Royal Velvet

large center head of rich ruby red with velvety texture surrounded
