NEW HIBISCUS 'CRIMSON EYE/' We take great pleasure in offering this superior strain of Hibiscus and can highly recommend it to all. Following is the originators's description. 'After many years of careful selection we have it entirely distinct, always coming true from seed. It is a robust grower with dark red .stems and foliage. The flowers are immense in size, often measuring twenty inches in circumference. The color is of the purest white with a large spot of deep velvety crimson m the center of each flower. It is a striking combina- tion of color and one that must be seen to be fully appreciated. A well developed plant will produce several hundred of these flowers m a season. It will succeed anywhere and is perfectly hardy, bloommg the first year from seed sown in the open ground.' Price per packet, 15 cents ; 3 packets for 35 cents. LINARIA CYM- BALARIA FL. ALBA. WHITE FLOWERING KENILWORTH IVY. This new variety of Kenllworth Ivy differs from the original species with violet flowers, by it's light-green, f,lossy foliage and pure white flowers. For covering lockwork, walls or for hanging baskets there is hardly a more suitable plant to be found ; thriving equally well in shade or in the full sun. Price per packet, 15 cents. DOUBLE FLOWERING MORNING GLORY. This is the first Double Flowering IVlorning Qlory to be introduced and we have no doubt that the many admirers of the single flowering sorts will readily give a place to this new variety. The vines make as rapid growth and dense foliage as the single varieties. Flowers are white with a spot of red or blue at the base of the larger petals. About 80 per cent, of the seedlings come true from seed. We are sure the number of hardy climbing annuals is not so great that this new Double Morning Glory will not gain a prominent position. Price per packet, 2U cents. NEW SWEET SCENTED PANS
