ELEGANT PALMS. These have for centuries been considered exclusively for the rich, the plants usually selling at $3.00 to $100.00 each, and in some cases line plants of the rarer sorts have brought as high as $1,500.00 each. It is now known, however, that they are easily grown from seed, and we have secured a large lot ot nice fresh seed for our customers so that we can furnish it at such a low price that everyone could afford to supply themselves with these beautiful and elegant plants. Directions for growing will be printed on the packet. LATANIA BORBONICA.- This is the typical palm, and is more largely used than any other. Its strong, healthy habit commends it to all and gives it a fitness for window and room culture not possessed in the same degree perhaps by any other. It is the Chinese Fan Palm from which the palm leaf fans of commerce are made. Easily grown and tenacious of life. Per pkt. 10c. CHAMAEROPS EXCELSA.- From southern China and Japan.

WASHINGTONIA FILIFERA.-This is one of the best window palms, needing no petting to succeed.

Picturesquely fringed with long, thread-like filaments along the segments of the leaves. The plant is a compact grower, well adapted to pot culture, succeeding in any situation, and with any treatment that will keep a geranium alive. Per pkt. 10c.

IMPERIAL NASTURTIUMS. If we were asked to name the six best annuals, the nasturtium would be one of them. They are so easy to grow that a six-year old child could plant and care for them, and they have every good quality of a bedding plant-compact habit, attractive foliage, intensely bright and beautiful flowers borne profusely the whole season, not troubled by insects, and standing dry weather well. Our Imperial Nasturtiums consist ot about 20 of the best dwart varieties, selected from both American and foreign growers. When planted in beds will produce a most gorgeous display of beautitul flowers of all shades of color. Per pkt. 10c, oz. 25c.

LEGION OF HONOR MARIGOLD. Now don't say, "It's only a marigold," and pass it by, for this is the prettiest of all, and in fact few would take it to belong to that family. It is dwarf, compact and of pyramidal growth, about five inches high, with dark green, fern-like leaves, furnishing a striking background for the bright, golden, star-like flowers. The blooms are of medium size, rich golden yellow with the center of each petal broadly marked with velvety crimson brown. Easily grown from seed, and flowers freely from July until frost. Per pkt. 5c.

NEW FANCY FLOWERING GIANT PETUNIAS. This is the most costly and scarce seed we have, and the cost of production is so great that the crop is actually worth more than the same weight of gold. It is unquestionably the finest and most thorough selection of petunias in existence. They are of enormous size (four to five inches across), and exquisitely ruffled and fringed, but their great merits lie in the varieties of colors, markings, veinings, blotchings and stripings in the most grotesque and beautiful combinations; some with charming deep throats of yellow, white, black, green, or maroon, running off into intricate veins. Some of the colors are rich and gorgeous, and others of lovely delicate shade. In order to fully introduce this magnificent class of petunias, we make the price very low. Per pkt. 20c, 3 pkts. 50c, 7 pkts. $1.00.

CALIFORNIA YELLOW BELLS. One ot the lovliest of California annuals, which has escaped attention among lovers of flowers. The Yellow Bells of California, as it is called, forms a broad bush eighteen inches to two feet high. Each of its numerous branches is fairly loaded with bell-shaped, pedulous flowers, a half inch long, and of a delicate cream color. The flowers are almost everlasting, the persistent corolla drying and retaining its shape until the seed has ripened. The pinnatifid foliage has caused the plant occasionally to be taken for a fern before it blossoms. The seeds may be sown in mellow soil early in spring or as soon as frosts are past, or in the greenhouse, hotbed or cold frame, and afterwards transplanting to a permanent place in the border. Per pkt. 10c.

DIAMOND FLOWER. A dainty little annual with tufts of tiny foliage, and beautiful little white and violet blue flowers that bloom within a month from the time seed is sown. It will grow in the open ground, over rock-work or in pots, never exceeding three inches in height and rarely two. The tiny flowers have a glistening sheen that has given them their name of Diamond Flower, and being surrounded by a wreath of bright green foliage, they show to a wonderful advantage. For pot culture in winter it is just superb. Sprinkle a few seeds in a small pot or sancer, or in pots where other plants are growing, and within a month you will have the most charming mat of foliage and flowers-covering the surface of the soil like moss-that you ever saw. In the fall the self-sown seed will come up and bloom profusely until the ground freezes and begins again early in the spring. Per pkt. 8c.

HIGHLAND PANSIES. The most exquisite new varieties, grown by a celebrated pansy specialist in Scotland. Their merit consists in uniformly clear, distinct markings, high colors, pertect form and largest size. They are sure to please. Per pkt. 20c.

12 SEED CATALOGUE AND GARDEN GUIDE.

NEW DOUBLE-FLOWERED MORNING GLORY. The number of hardy annual climbers is not very great, and we do not doubt a moment but that this first doubleflowered convolvulus major or morning glory ever introduced will be greeted as a welcome addition to this class of plants. It is of rapid growth, and produces its double flowers very freely. They are white with a slight spot of red or blue at the base of the larger petals. About 80 per cent of the seedlings will reproduce themselves true from seed; the remainder will flower semi-double or single. As a blue variety has shown itself this season, we presume that all the other colors of the single-flowered morning glory will be produced by hybridizing before long. Seeds should be sown as early as the ground can be worked in the spring, or may be sown in the house and transplanted outside as soon as the weather permits, so that a long season of beautiful flowers may repay you. Truly a lovely addition to the floral kingdom, as one can never forget the beautiful appearance of one of these lovely plants in full bloom, with its light graceful foliage and hundreds of delicate flowers playing peek-a-boo among the leaves. Per pkt. 10c.

GOLDEN GLORY CALLIOPSIS. Beautiful yellow flowers are indispensible in all gardens, and for all decorations this new Giant Calliopsis, with its large, graceful, golden flowers, borne on long stems, is alike valuable for gardens, for bouquets and decorations. It is a continuous and persistent bloomer and is desired at once by all who see it. The plants are a perfect glory of large golden blossoms, double the size of the older sort. They are prettily toothed at the edges. It is a fine winter bloomer. In fact is never without flowers all the year. Per pkt. 10c.

[image. NEW DOUBLE MORNING GLORY]

PEERLESS MIXED BALSAMS. Several European and American specialists have been devoting much of their time during the past few years to improving this popular flower, until now we have a plant which is worthy of a place in any garden and will prove satisfactory to the most fastidious. The flowers are of the most perfect camelia-fiowered and rose-flowered types, intensely double. The plants are of most ideal, symmetrical shape, fairly loaded with flowers and a continuous bloomer, sometimes 500 magnificent large blooms on a plant at one time. Seed may be sown out doors at the usual corn planting time, but we consider it better to start it early under glass or in a box in the house. Plants should have plenty of room when set out, for if crowded they will never prove satisfactory. Per pkt 10c, 3 pkts. for 25c, 7 for 50c.

IMPERIAL JAPANESE MORNING GLORY. A most elegant new climber, the seeds of which were sent to this country a few years ago by the director of the Imperial Japanese Garden. The vines are of strong and robust growth, attaining a height of from 30 to 50 feet. The foliage is most luxuriant, distinct and varied-some vines have rich vivid green leaves, others have silvery leaves, yellow leaves, or leaves mottled and checkered like rich mossaics of light and dark green, white and gray. The flowers are of gigautic size, measuring from 4 to 6 inches across, remaining open much longer than ordinary morning glories, The flowers are of deep, rich velvety tones, others more daintily tinted and shaded than an artist's brush could portray. Some are striped, starred and spotted; others have magnificent edges and throats. They are or the easiest cultnre. Sow early in a warm, sunny position in good, rich soil, and give plenty of water in dry weather. Per pkt. 15c.

EARLY DAWN COSMOS. This new variety is bound to become popular on account of its extreme earliness. It blooms fully two months ahead of any other cosmos, making it of special value. Seeds sown in open ground in May produce blooming plants before the middle of July, or in about two months from the time of sowing, and continuing until destroyed by frost. The flowers are a little smaller than the late kinds, but its earliness and profusion of bloom through a much longer season will more than compensate for any lack of size. The plants have fine, feathery, light green foliage and delicate rose, purple, white and lilac flowers, which are produced on long stems and are very desirable for bouquets, as they will last a week after cutting. Well worthy of a trial by all who wish a free blooming plant of the easiest culture. Mixed colors, per pkt. 10c.

[image. EXACT SIZE OF SEEDS. WHITE BEAUTY SUNFLOWER]

BEGONIA ERFORDIA. A little beauty as well as a most distinct novelty. It is amost profuse bloomer from early summer until late autumn; even a light frost will not hurt it. The color of the flower is a lovely soft pink throughout, which does not fade even in the hottest summer days, when most other flowers seem to wither. The leaves and leaf stalk, are of a coppery bronze of a rich shade, affording a most effective background for the flowers. Per pkt. 15c, 2 pkts. for 20c.

WHITE BEAUTY SUNFLOWER. A mammoth single flowering variety with pure white seeds, which is the result of eight years of careful selection. Desirable for the flower garden and also unexcelled for poultry, outyielding the old sorts almost two to one in quantity of seeds produced to the acre. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 25c, lb. 65c, postpaid.

PERENNIAL CHRYSANTHEMUMS. Everyone likes chrysanthemums, those grand flowers which fill the greenhouses, are the most attractive of window plants and worn almost universally on the streets of all cities during October and November. Our seed is carefully saved from a superb collection of the best varieties so cross fertilized that it will produce a wonderful variety of flowers, perhaps no two alike, and possibly some great novelties. They are easily grown from seed. Per pkt. 10c.

CRIMSON RAMBLER ROSE. Three Hundred Blooms on One Branch. This rose has created a great sensation wherever shown. It has received not less than four gold medals and numerous first class certificates. It is of vigorous growth, making shoots from eight to ten feet in height, during a season, and is consequently a most desirable climbing variety. When the shoots are fastened down or it is grown in a bush form, marvelous heads of bloom are the result. As a pot plant it is unequaled for decorative purposes. It is exceedingly hardy. The flowers with which the plant is covered in the spring are produced in large trusses of pyramidal form and ot the brightest crimson color. The blooms remain on the plant for a great length of time without losing their brightness. When cut in proper condition, the flowers will remain fresh in water for two weeks.

HARDY DORMANT ROSES. For the first time we offer dormant roses; this is to satisfy a demand from many customers for plants that can be planted outside early in spring, before it is safe to set out plants that are growing in pots and consequently are in full leaf. We can supply these from the time this catalogue is issued up to April 15th; after that time they can only be supplied from pots, at the prices quoted at the end of the list. The great value of these roses lies in the fact that they produce better flowers and make stronger plants in a shorter period than those grown from cuttings; and the advantage is, that having no soil on the roots and being dormant, they can be sent cheaply by express.

MARY WASHINGTON ROSE. It is a historic fact that our revered first president, George Washington, raised in his garden at Mt. Vernon a seedling rose which proved to be a hardy, perpetual blooming climber, producing double snow-white blossoms in great profusion from June until frost. In this lovely rose our first president took special delight, and named it after his mother, Mary Washington. The original bush can yet be seen growing in the grounds where the world-famous master planted it in his garden at Mt. Vernon. No home is complete without one of these roses. Each 15c.

WATER HYACINTH One of the most remarkable, curious and beautiful plants we have ever grown. Instead of growing in soil it floats in the water, which it is enabled to do by means of its curiously inflated leaf stalks, which resemble bladders or balloons, filled with air. A large mass of feathery blue roots grow downward, their ends entering into the soil. It forms a lovely rosette of its curious, shining green leaves, and throws up spikes of the most exquisite flowers imaginable, resembling in form a spike of hyacinth bloom, but as beautiful as many of the choicest and most costly orchids. Each flower is as large or larger than a silver dollar; color, a beautiful, soft lilac rose, sparkling as if covered with diamond dust. The upper petal, which is the largest, has a large metallic blue blotch, and in the center of that a small, deep. golden yellow spot. Each 15c.

[image] MIGNONETTE ROSE

MIGNONETTE.- As the name would denote, this is deliciously scented: the flowers are blush or soft rose, borne in dense heads-we have had trusses with over 200 flowers and buds on at the same time. Each 10c. MINATURE.- The smallest rose in cultivation; the flowers, which are only about the size of a silver dime, are produced in great profusion and are very double. It is a delicate rose color an opening, changing to pure white as the flowers expand. Each 10c. LITTLE WHITE PET.- Very handsome; pure white, perfect shaped flower. A strong grower and profuse bloomer. Very hardy. Each 10c.

[image. WATER HYACINTH]

ROYAL PURPLE STROBILANTHE. A new house and bedding plant; was awarded the Gold medal offered by the King of Belgium at the Ghent exhibition. It forms a compact bush 18 inches high, with leaves 6 to 9 inches long, 3 to 4 inches wide, and of the most intense metallic purple color, shading into light rose with a light green margin, a combination unapproached by any other plant. The flowers are a lovely violet-blue, very beautiful. It has created a veritable sensation wherever exhibited, and will be grown by the thousand as a bedding plant, while at the same time one of the most brilliant decorative plants in existence; for table oranament, parlor to greenhouse, nothing can equal it. Each 15c.

PANSY GERANIUM. This variety, though not new, is one of great merit. The flowers are of medium size, and have a white throat. Each petal is shaded toward the center with a rich lavender pink and dark maroon blotch in the center. Each 25c.

[image] REMARKABLE GERANIUM

NEW DOUBLE GERANIUM. REMARKABLE.- As will be seen by our illustation, the habit of growth is dwarf and compact, making this variety one of the most desirable for pot culture. The novelty and merit, however, is principally in the perfect trusses of miniature rosebud florets, which are wonderfully attractive and pleasing. The color is the brightest possible scarlet crimson; the substance most lasting. A buttonhole bouquet of this variety will keep fresh longer than any other we know of, and then it is entirely unique, afterwards opening to a very handsome bright flower. This should not be confounded with the old Rosebud geranium. Imagine, if you can, a handsomely formed, bushy little plant, constantly covered with perfectly proportioned trusses of exquisitely brilliant rosebud flowers so intense in color that they appear to vibrate. Of hardy, vigorous, healthy habit of growth. Each 15c.
