FLOWER SEED SPECIALTIES vii NASTURTIUM LILIPUT. Under this title was introduced last year an entirely new class of Dwarf Nasturtiums and one which deserves the greatest attention. The plant is in every respect smaller than the Tom Thtanb and the pretty little flowers, produced in the greatest profusion and standing up well above the small-cut, bushy foliage, make it one of the prettiest annuals imaginable. The blossoms are of the most varied and showy colors, and it is noteworthy that some quite new shades appear among them.

O'Marana, Zanzibarensis Aurea and Rosea, Gra- cilis, Ccerulea, Odorata Rosea. Separate or mixed. Pkt., 25 cts. For descriptions, see page xviii. PETUNIA HYBRIDA. Snowball.

A charming miniature Passaflora with small light green leaves, and pure white
