The Red Sunflower Double-flowering: BABY'S BREATH. (Gypsophila paniculata fl. pi.) 2695 This was introduced in plant form a few years ago, but being somewhat difficult to propagate was likely to remain scarce. We are now able to offer seed of it, which reproduces itself about 50 per cent, true, which should help its rapid dissemination. The plant grows from 3 to 3A feet high, bearing its pretty little double white flowers in much-branched panicles, which, when cut, can be used to great advantage with other flowers or by themselves, as they retain their beauty for months. It is also a most desirable addition to the hardy border. 20 cts. per pkt.; 3 pkts., 50 cts. THE RED SUNFLOWER. (Helianthus cucumerifolius purpureus.) 2699 A red annual Sunflower has long been looked for, and this new hybrid strain seems to be the forerunner of a really bright red variety, containing as it does a large range of colors, from light pink to deep purplish-red. The flowers are identical to the new miniature Sunflowers, some having straight, flat petals, others formed like a single Cactus Dahlia. Their ease of culture, sturd) habit, free and long blooming qualities insure this novelty being tried by all interested in new forms of flowering plants. 25 cts. per pkt ; 5 pkts., TWO HANDSOJIE HELENHMS. The two fine sorts offered below originated at our own nur- series, and are great advances on the older sorts, and desirable additions to any collection of hardy perennial plants. 2713 Riverton Gem. Of strong growth, 2A to 3 feet high, and covered all summer with brilliant flowers, opening old-gold, changing as they mature to wallflower-red. 2714 Riverton Beauty. Similar to the preceding in every way except color, the petals being a rich lemon-yellow surrounding a large cone of purplish-black; a striking combination. Price of either,
