/ FAVORITE FLOWERS. ©
1894, SELECT SEEDS. ~ 1894,

—————Eas

This is a wonderful new single
Tuberose. It bears very large
spikes of flowers, blooms 30 days
earlier than other varieties, and
is unsurpassed for pot culture or
for forcing. It is distinct from all
other varieties, throwing from two
to five flower stems from a single bulb,
and these again, are often branch-
ed. “Its flowers are of the purest
waxy White, entirely free from any
brown tint on the back of the pet-
als. In character it very much re-
sembles a Stephanotis or some
species of Jessamine as much as a
Tuberose, both in appearance and
fragrance, for the odor is less
heavy than that of the ordinary
Tuberose. 15c. each; 2 for 20c.

TO MY FRIENDS AND PATRONS. ;

1 herewith have the pleasure of presenting my TentH ANNUAL CATALOGUE of
Choice Seeds and Plantsto my friends and patrons, hoping they will favor me with
thei ésteemed orders, which I shail endeavor to fillso as to merit continued patron-
age. Elaborate catalogues are expensive, I therefore prefer issuing my list without
unneccessary expidenture for ole. a catalogue iselaborate enough to miorm my
patrons what I have to sell, and [give them the benefit accrued in prices andsuperior _
goods. I ask a careful perusal of my list, if it cotitains anything you need pleasegiveme
a trial order, I think I can please you. ,

Quality of Seeds.—I guarantee my seeds tobe the best that can be produced, and far
superior to job lots and old stock, which are often penuee off on the public for good
seed. Those which cannot be gtown successfully here are procured only from the
most responsible growers. Unlike most seedsmen, I will not buy of anyone for the
sake of buying cheap.

| Warrant my Vegetable Seeds to be fresh, pure and reliable inevery respect, and agree
to replace auy that may fail to grow, if the customer has good cause to think the fault
lay with the seed, but I willin no way be responsible for the crop, or liable beyond the
amount paid for the seed. All seeds are tested, and under ordinary circumstarices will
be suretogrow. Do notbuy old shop worn seeds, when you can get fresh and reliable
seeds at lower prices, ;

My Flower Seeds are sold under no guatantee whatever, for the reason that many
people do not give the care required to germinate many kinds of flower seeds; but f
sell them with the honest assurance that they ate fresh and pure, and equal to any
obtainable in every respect. I have placed the prices of my flower seeds so low that
the cost of seedis no excuse for not having a flower garden. Theselow prices are on!
made possible hy importing and growing them in large quantities, confident of a lib-
eral patronage from my customers. 3

Sign your Namé, give Post Office, County and State every time you write. ;

How to Send Méney.—When Money Orders and Postal Notes, or Express Money Orders
are obtainable do not send stamps, as I cannot use them except for paying postage, and
if everyone persists in sending stamps I am ata loss what todo with them. Drafts on
Chicago and New York are acceptable; but private checks will be returned.

A fine climbing plant for house culture; valuable in boguet making, Se. ,
SOLANUM JASMINOIDES GRANDIFLORA.

Among new plants lately introduced this ranks among the best. Itis of
a trailing or half climbing habit attaining a height of nearly five feet when
trained on a trellis, yetit is equally desirable grown in a bush form, which
can easily be done by pinching back to the desired size and shape. It
bears a profusion of beautiful star-shaped, pure white flowers in enormous
clusters, which keep perfect a long time, and blooming as it does, contin-
nously, they make a regal display for a longtime. It makes a perfect pot
plant, being grown with comparative ease, yet it is paramount for out-
door culture, attracting more attention when in bloom than a majority of
the plants usually grown. Strong plants only 10c. each.

SOLANUM AZUREUM.

In this new variety we have a splendid companion to Solanum Jasminoides Grand-
ifora. Itis of vigorous growth, climbing rapidly, soon forming a dense mass of
bright green. It bears immense panicles of beautiful azure blue flowers that droop
gracefully from the suspended vine. It is splendid for garden or pot culture. 12c.

STAPELIA VARIEGATA.

An exceedingly curious and
interesting succulent plant, a
fine companion for cacti, with
which it is sometimes classed
though it does not bear the
slightest relationship to them.
From the base of the fleshy
stems appear curious looking
five-cornered buds, which grad-
ually swell until, with a snap,
they fly open and the flower
stands revealed—a perfect star
of very thick, leathery petals
which are golden yellow, thickly
spotted with dark brown. In

but very little water; in summer it may be placed on the window sill in a
sunny place, or planted out in the garden where it succeeds well. 12c.

NEW SILVER COIN SWEET CORN.

The illustration of this
new corn showsan ear two-
thirds size in a dry state, from
which an idea may be formed
of its large size when in an
edible condition. Although ,
large, itis very prolific,some-
times having two ears to the
stalk, The kernels are broad
and deep and of pearly white-
ness in all stages of growth.
Considering the tender and g
luscious quality of this new

of kernel, it isrealya luxury
to secure it after eating o1-

found to excel in two very
important points—produe-

ish netting. Its
luscious green
flesh is very
thick, leaving

LIVINGSTON’S NEW PIE SQUASH.

This new squash has already become a favorite with market men. It is exceeding-
uniform in size and shape, and just the size for retailing. It has been kept in one
family for many years, and is preffered by them to any other for pies. The skin is
russety and of a dark orange color, making the appearance very attractive. The

THE FAXON SQUASH.

The flesh of this new variety is deep or-
ange yellow, cavity very small and seeds
few; the special peculiarity, however, is
that, while uncooked it appears to have a
shell like any squash, when cooked there
is practically none. It is the best squash
» we ever tasted—sweet or diy rid for
squash pies it must be tried to be appreci-
ated. It matures early and can be used
as asummer squash. It is the best winier
variety we know of, being a very laie
keeper. Being fit to use ripe or green,
every specimen can be gathered, all loss
thus obviated. Very early, enormously
productive, of medium size and the best
possible quality, we fully believe that this
new variety is destined to become a
standard among squashes both for home
use and market purposes. If you are

LUFFA OR DISH-CLOTH GOURD.

This remarkable Japanese Gourd willnot only shade your porch with its rapid grow-
ing foliage and beautiful yellow flowers, but the matured fruit, with its peculiar lining,
will furnish you a Natural Dish-Cloth, sponge-like and porous, such as are sold in our
prominent drug stores. Ladies prefer this dish-cloth toany prepared by art. As asub-
stitute for sponges in the bath, and for many other toilet purposes, they have no equal,
and can be used for a long time, their soft and pliable texture enduring long and

rough usuage. It will also make a neat and useful summer bonnet for
ladies and children. The fruit grows about two feet in length, and the
vine is exeedingly ornamental, its clusters of yellow klossoms forming a
pleasing contrast with the silver-shaded, dark green foliage. So many
useful and attractive features should be enough to give this vine a place in
every garden in the land. 5 cents per packet.

MARGUERITE CARNATION.

The most beautiful fragrant double Carnations can now be had in full
flower in the open garden as easily and almost as quickly as the Chinese
Pinks. Also for flowering in the house this new strain will be invaluable.
Fully eighty per cent of the flowers come double; of large size. They em-
brace a fine range of brilliant colors. The plants are dwarf, branching,
compact and neat in habit, standing well upright without any support.
They are very free-flowering and certainly anoyelty of unusual merit.
7 cents per packet.
