Dahlia, Yellow Prince. Excellent bedding subject. A major¬ 
ity of the plants from this seed will be uniformly 2 feet high, the 
flowers fully double and a fine, bright yellow in color; but not quite 
all, however, for this is one of the first offerings of seed of Dahlias 
of this type in segregated colors, and it is not quite fixed. The few 
plants that may not match up, will be useful for planting elsewhere in 
your garden. Treat as an annual. Pkt. 50 cts., 3 pkts. $1.25. 
Impatiens, Pink Butterfly. A tall annual, useful for the 
back of the border, for planting amid shrubs or as individual speci¬ 
mens. Attaining 6 to 7 feet in rich soil, it has pleasing salmon-pink 
spurred flowers, 2 inches across. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. $1. 
New Dwarf Ipomoea 
Dianthus, Rainbow Loveliness. This has the deeply cut 
and delicately laced flower of Loveliness, a novelty of a few years ago. 
and described as the sweetest flower in the garden. Whereas Loveli¬ 
ness is mauve, however, this new Rainbow mixture has flowers in 
various other delicate tones: these include pink, red, lilac, cream, and 
white. A beautiful and sweetly perfumed perennial which will bloom 
in seven months from seed, the creation of Allwood Bros., of Hay¬ 
ward’s Heath, England. Originators’ sealed packets, each 50 cts. 
Dimorphotheca spectabilis. This new type of African 
Daisy or Cape Marigold has single daisy flowers 2 Inches across and 
deep pink in color, while the center eye is shining black. They 
strike a new note in room decoration and the plant is an excellent 
flower-bed subject. Height, 14 inches. Sow in February or March, 
under glass, and plant out 9 inches apart, or later sow in a sunny 
position in the open. Pkt. 25 cts., 3^oz. 75 cts., $1.25. 
Echium, White Bedder. a dwarf cultivated type of the 
Vipers Bugloss. Little bushes, 14 inches high, have flower-stems on 
which are set snow-white individual florets, from June to August. 
An effective bedding plant and a good one for bees, which will col¬ 
lect large supplies of nectar from it. Sow in the open ground in 
spring, or earlier indoors and transplant 9 inches apart. Pkt. 35 cts., 
3 pkts. $1. 
Eschscholtzia, Sweetheart. A double California Poppy. 
The fluted, camellia-like flowers are a lively, fiery rose on primrose, 
the outside being a trifle darker than the center, and they are 2 inches 
across. Covered with its double^ flowers, this 8-inch high, easily grown 
annual will be very popular this season as a border or bedding sub¬ 
ject. Seeds may be sown where they are to grow and the plants 
thinned to 15 inches apart. Height, 8 inches. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. $1. 
Gaillard ia, Sun. This is a hardy perennial. Sow seed in spring 
or early summer for good flowering plants next season. The flowers 
are brilliant yellow-gold, suffused with orange, which deepens to¬ 
ward the center of the flower. A most useful cut-flower, effective 
alike in daylight or artificial light. Pkt. 50 cts., 3 pkts. $1.25. 
Hollyhock, Haile Sela SSie. The large semi-double flowers 
are so deep a maroon that they seem to be black, and their color is 
sharply accented by the yellow stamens, producing a fascinating 
combination of black and gold. The plant grows as tall as any of 
the Hollyhocks, attaining a height of 53^ feet or higher. Hardy 
perennial. Sow this year, to bloom next. Pkt. 50 cts., 3 pkts. $1.25. 
Plants, to bloom this summer, 75 cts. each, $7.50 per doz. 
ROYAL ENSIGN. This is a low-growing Morning-Glory, ideal for 
carpeting in front of the annual border, or for defining a flower-bed 
or garden path. It hugs the ground, and all summer is covered 
with intense Delft-blue trumpet-shaped flowers with a lighter 
center. Pkt. 35 cts., 3 pkts. $1.

_ New Larkspurs (Annuals) 
These new Giant Imperial varieties may grow 5 feet tall, with the 
center spike surrounded by six or eight strong branches. The spikes 
are strong and the flowers hold well, so the plant will be interesting 
to the grower and shipper of cut-bloom. 
ROSALIND. The color is unusual—pink with a salmon suffusion; 
groups of three or more of these plants in the middle distance of 
your annual border will be very striking. 
MONTROSE. Here the color is a clear rose-pink. This and the 
above sorts have exceptionally large florets. 
Above 2 varieties, pkt. 25 cts., Ysoz. 75 cts., 14oz. $1.25
