. Burpee's novelties for 1890. Nursery stock Pennsylvania Philadelphia Catalogs; Flowers Pennsylvania Catalogs; Vegetables Pennsylvania Catalogs; Seeds Pennsylvania Catalogs. W. ATLEE BURPEE & CO., DOLICHOS Bl-CONTORTUS. See unknown Annuals, below. GENERALLY Seope of HNKNOWN ANNUALS. In showing to visitors our Flower Trials at Fordhook Farm, we have frequently been struck by the interest dis- played in many species that seemed entirely novel and unknown. We have thought that others who cannot visit our gardens in person might like, in a small way, to make an "experimental garden" at home, and to enjoy the pleasure of having some unusual or remarkable plants to exhibit. Of the following twenty, a few are occasionally seen, but the greater number are entirely unknown in American gardens. All of these are either pretty and in- teresting or odd and curious, while some are really beauti- ful. They all flower the first season and are all easily raised from seed, sown in the open ground in Spring, re- quiring no special care. We give only the briefest descriptions, and by thus econo- mizing valuable space in our catalogue (letting the plants themselves more fully reveal their characters), we are able to offer these UNKNOWN ANNUALS at the uni- formly low price of 5 cts. per pkt.; any 4 pkts, for 15 Cts., any 8 pkts. for 25 cts., or lo pkts. for 30 cXs., pur- chaser s selection of varieties. More than 10 packets can be selected at the same low rate, three cents per packet. Atriplex hortensis cupreata. An ornamental foliage plant, of handsome rose coloring. Blitum capitatum {Strawberry Spinach). Bears nu- merous showy fruits the size and color of ripe strawber- ries ; curious and attractive. Cannabis gigantea. The true Chinese Giant Hemp; bees delight in it. Cerinthe {Moneywort.). Curious annuals with terminal, leafy racemes of variegated flowers. Crepis rubra {Hawkweed). Rosy-red, double flowers. Cynoglossum ccelestinum. Lovely, sky-blue flowers
