^^f’HIS, my 15th Annual Catalogue, comes to you, not just as its predecess-
III ors have, claiming flower seeds alone and exclusively, but at the very
urgent request of many of my patrons, I have added a small list of garden
seeds. Many persons are now growing their own small vegetables, in
their own gardens, and enjoying them so much, it seems almost a necessity to
give a list of true and tried varities, such as you can grow successfully.
Three years ago I started a small list of Roses and Plants in Floral Culture,
and they have pleased beyond my greatest hopes, I can only hope my, Vegetable
Garden will prove equally acceptable. 1 have tried very hard to select only the
choicest varieties, in both Flower and Garden Seeds, so that I may keep the
same little, plain, concise, and I trust attractive catalogue that I have issued for
the last 15 years. That my efforts have been appreciated, 1 can only believe by
the steady increase of my business.
Last year was my first year in my new home, and I want to thank you all for
making it a successful one. The month of March was a bad one as far as
weather was concerned, and a great many of you delayed sending your orders
until April, which gave me such a large business in April , that it made it
difficult to handle the orders, with the promptitude which I always claim. So
please remember this year, no matter how cold and stormy the winter and early
spring may be, that planting time is very close, and the first, soft warm days that
come, you will wish so much that you had ordered your seeds, that you
might be ready as quickly as the ground could be prepared for them.
1 have been so very much gratified with the pictures submitted for prizes this season. This is the third year I have offered
prizes for the best yard grown from my seeds, and each year the number of contestants have increased, and 1 find a marked
improvement in the yards. I am pleased to see among the pictures quite a number from the same parties who sent last year,
as well as the year before, and remember if you are not awarded a prize again, it is because there were other pictures which
seemed to show a little better results from seed sown, and not because you were in the contest last year. Keep on trying, it
will do us both good.
On page 48 you will find a list of the successful competitors for this year’s prizes, also the offer for 1907 contest.
There were quite a number of pictures submitted this year without competition cards. 1 am sorry to say we were obliged
to put these aside as it was impossible to enter them without cards.
Once more 1 want' to thank you all for your hearty support and encouraging words for the last 15 years, and I trust I shall
be able to serve your needs for as many years in the future. Very sincerely yours,

your promptness.
Aster, New Japanese or Tassel.
The beautiful flowers of this new strain of Asters
offer a most striking contrast with those of any oth-
er variety. They are of immense size, measuring
from 5 to 6 inches across, with long petals curiously
waved or curled, so as to give them a striking re-
semblance to the Japanese Chrysanthemums. They
grow 14 or 15 inches high, are well branched and
produce a number of enormous flowers. Colors,
flesh and pink. Pkt. 150 Seeds, 5 Cts.
The Cornflower Aster.
Stokesia Cyanea.
This is one of our most
charming and beautiful na-
tive hardy plants. The plant
grows from 18 to 34 inches
high, bearing freely from ear-
ly July until frost, its hand-
some lavender-blue, Centau-
rea-like blossoms, each meas-
uring 4 to 5 inches across. It
is of the easiest culture, suc-
ceeding in any open, sunny
position, and is not only de-
sirable as a single plant in
the mixed, hardy border, but
can be used with fine effeot
in masses or beds of any size.
Pkt. 100 Seeds, 8 Cts.
Hohenzollern Aster.
Ostrich Feather type of As-
ters. Much larger than the
Giant Comet, the petals long-
er and more curled and twist-
ed, and produced in greater
abundance. Borne on long
stem, which makes it very
desirable for cut flowers. Mix-
ed colors. Pkt. 100 Seeds,
5 Cts.
New Comet Aster.
The plants of this new variety are perfectly true in
character, growing 12 to 15 inches high and covered
with large double flowere, as shown in the illustration.
The flowers measure from 3 V* to Wz inches in diameter,
resembling in shape and artistically curved and twisted
petals the finest Chinese Chrysanthemums. Mixed
colors. Pkt, 150 Seeds, 5 Cts.
See page 48 for Premium Offer for best lawn planted with
Miss Lippincott’s Seeds during the season of 1907. sS A &
Harlequin Aster.
A striking Aster of great boauty, upright habits and a profuse
bloomer. This new race produces odd flowers of t.ho most hand-
some and attractive appearance, which continue in bloom a long
time. In the gardens of Paris they are considered the most valu-
able of all varieties on account of their long duration in bloom
and remarkably bright and conspicuous colors. Composed of pure
white petals, quaintly interspersed in irregular manner with deep
blue f and bright red petals. Pkt. 150 Seeds, 5 Cts.
New White Branching Aster.
The magnificent, largo, double white flowers, quite four inches
in diameter, are borne upon long stems, making them excellent
foi* cutting. Pkt. 150 Seeds, 5 Cts.
Aster, Fire King.
The most brilliant Aster ever introduced,
And the nearest approach to scarlet yet obtained ; a color previ-
ously unknown in this popular flower, which, for an autumn show
of flowers, fow others equal. Habit very compact, not more than
12 inches in height, with largo, beautifully in-curved flowers, and
makes a charming companion to “Snowball.” Pkt. 150 Seeds,
5 Cts.
Aster, Snowball.
A most distinct and handsome variety, equally
valuable for pot culture and cut flowers.
It is a most profuse bloomer, a single plant often producing as
many as twenty-five to thirty pure, snow white flowers , globular in
form and of extraordinary size. Pkt. 150 Seeds, 5 Cts.

New Yellow Aster.
The form of the double flower is a perfect ball ; the quills aro
close together and of the brightest sulphur yellow , not a mere indi-
cation of the color, as in all former productions. The border
petals are broad and of a lighter tint, seeming to enclose the flower
like an old-fashioned bouquet paper. The flowers aro borno upon
long, erect stems, excellent for cutting. Plants, 12 to 15 incites
high, aro of compact, hardy growth, and most abundant bloomers.

the blossoms are much larger and of finer color. It is always
taken for a beautiful, large-flowering Forget-me-not, and for
bouquets and cut flowers it is indeed superior to it. Its color is a
deep, clear, brilliant blue with a pure white eye; one of the rarest
and most lovely shades of that color. It blooms early and con-
tinues Ml summer. Pkt., 200 Seeds, 5 cts,

Defiance Balsam, Lady Slipper.
The most perfect in form and [largest double-flowered Balsam
yet developed, and by careful growth and selection, has attained
a standard that will be found hard to improve. The mixture which
I offer is composed in nearly equal proportions of eight colors:
Rose, rose-white spotted, pink, scarlet, white-tinted violet, white
spotted, 'scarlet white-spotted and purple ; each having been grown
separately. Pkt, 50 Seeds, 5 Cts.

Bird of Paradise, Poinciana Gillesi.
The color of the flower is a golden yellow, measuring inches
across, with shape as shown in illustration, and it is produced in
very large trusses. The most beautiful part of the flower is the
large pistils, which are spread out in fan-like form, and are of
bright crimson color. The foliage is also highly decorative, re-
minding one of a very delicate Acacia. If the seed is started early
it will produce blooms in great profusion the first year, pkt. 15

Ono of the most beautiful annual climbers, with bright green foliage,
delicately cut and very ornamental. Flowers are bright golden yellow,
bearing a fanciful resemblance to birds with expanded wings. Succeeds
best in a cool, slightly shaded situation ; also does well as a pot or basket
plant for the window or conservatory. Pkt. 30 Seed9, 5 Cts.
Cineraria Hybrida.
One of the most popular of all green-house plants, and what a
splendid display they make when well grown. I know of no plant
so easily grown as the Cineraria. The secret of growing well is to
grow fast, never allowing them to receive a check, either from
being pot-bound, dryness of root, or attacks of insects; the cooler
they are kept the bettor. In colors they range from crimson } ma-
genta, violet, purple and variegated. Large flowering, mixed.
Pkt. 200 Seeds, 8 Cts.
Kokhia Scoparia or Summer Cypress.
The plants grow freely from seed sown in the open ground, when
the trees are coming out in leaf, and from the earliest stage of
growth in the spring until they reach maturity in the fall the
plants are always of plobe-like form . The plants branch freely and
stems are olothed with slender, light-green leaves. Early in the
fall the ends of shoots are thickly sot with small, bright-scarlot
flowers— the bushy plants resembling balls of fire. The plants are
equally showy, planted singly to sho'w the round, ball-like form
on all sides, or grown in continuous rows or hedges. Pkt. 200
Seeds, 5 Cts.
Centaurea Imperialis.
Centaurea Imperialis is of the easiest culture and flowers con-
tinually from early spring until fall. Flowers are double the size
of Centaurea Marguerite, of various tints and colors, pure white,
lilac, rose, purple and dark red, supported on long stems, which
render them very desirable for cut flowers and corsage bouquets.
They have the same delicate odor and form as the Centaurea Mar-
guerite. Mixed colors. Pkt. 75 Seeds, 6 Cts.
Centaurea Marguerite.
The most fragrant and longest keeping cut flower. One of the
most valuable introductions of late years. The flowers are the size
of a medium Carnation, freely produced on long stems which ren-
der them valuable for cutting; color, pure white, pale sulphur-
yellow and lavender. The flowers are sweet-scented, and their
lasting quality after being cut is remarkable. Tho plants grow
about 18 inches high and are of the easiest culture; from spring-
sown seed they commence to flower in July and continue until late
in the autumn. The novelty is entirely distinct from all other
Centaureas, and undoubtedly the most beautiful variety known.
Mixed colors. PKt. 100 Seeds, 5 Cts.

multiplied rapidly by simple division, ana it is not particular as
to soil, it blooms for several months. The flowers are extremely

Is a mixture especially prepared by myself from separate strains
and colors of all the largest flowering and finest varieties that can
be securod in Europe, and is unsurpassed in beauty, color and
markings, pkt. 150 Seeds, 10 Cts.
Pansy, “New Giant Madam Perret.”
This novelty is especially distinguished from other Pansies by
tho plant being full and spreading, with very broad and extremely
dark green leaves. The straight and stiff stems it possesses cause
the flowers to stand out well from the foliage. The color of the
blossoms ranges through all the shades of red, from a pink to a
fine, deep purple, with an intermediate bright red, edged with
white. The face of tho flower in some cases is regular in color,
while in othors it is lined and striped. The extraordinary size or
the flowers, which reach as much as 3 to 3 Y% inches in diameter,
make it a novelty of the first rank, and one that is sure to be sought
after by lovers of Pansies. Pkt. 100 Seed 9 , 10 Ct 9 .
Giant Yellow Prince Pansy.
The color is pure goldon yellow, shaded canary, sometimes with

art the grand depth of brilliant color presented by this beautiful
Pansy when well grown. Pkt. 100 Seeds, 6 Cts.
“Masterpiece” or Ruffled Pansy.
This strain comes nearer to “Double Pansies” than anything
ever introduced under that name. The number of petals is the
same as tnat in other Pansy flowers, but they are crimped and
curled in such a fashion that the flowers appear double. The
flowers are of enormous size, often 3 inches across, and the color
variations and combinations are odd and striking. Pkt. 1 00

Giant White Spotted Pansy.
Tho flowers are very large, pure white, with a violet blotch on
the three lower petals ; of good form and substance. pkt. 100

Black Prince Pansy.
A distinct Pansy of sterling 1 merit. The rich, glos-
sy black has a peculiarly soft, velvety appearance;
trie magnificent, large flowers are of fine circular
form and carried upright well above the foliage;
plants are of very compact, bushy habit, and flower
so profusely that a bed of tho Blaclc Prince makes a 6ight not
often oqualed. PkL 100 Seeds, 6 C ts.
Pansy, President Carnot.
Flowers of great size and rounded form. The center of each of
the large, rounded petals is heavily blotched with a soft, rich
shade of violet purple; the edges distinctly outlined with a snow-
white band. In the center of tho lower petals the color deepens
lo a velvety brown tint, contrasting richly with tho yellow of the
small, distinct eye. Pkt. WO Seeds, 6 Cis.
New Giant Trimardeau Pansy.
Remarkable for tho extra large size of the flowers, which, how-
ever, are not so circular in form as the “Imperial German’’ or the
“Royal Show.” Pkt. WO Seeds, 6 Cts.
Sweet-Scented Pansies.
The Perfume of the Violet. The Beauty of the Pansy.
This new class is tho result of crossing the Pansy {viola tri-color)
with the Sweet Violet ( viola comuta). The resulting hybrids, in
addition to retaining the delightful Violet perfume, produce tho
most beautiful Pansy-like blossoms, 2 to 214 inches across; of great,
substance and of an endless variety of colors. They are not all
equally fragrant, though tho majority areas highly scented as the
sweetest Violet, and the other high merits of this new strain, aside
from its perfume, destine it to wide popularity. Mixed colors.
Pkt. WO Seeds, S Cts.
Fire King Pansy.
This novelty comes almost absolutely true, scarcely a plant
bearing flowers at variance from tho type, which is very distinct
and striking. The three lower petals eacn have a large blotch of
deep brown-rod or magenta, margined with yellow, while the upper
petals are of a bright reddish-brown, of a real fiery shade, warrant-
ing the name of Fire King. Pkt , WO Seeds, 5 Cts.
Snow Queen Pansy.
Pure, satiny white, with yellow dot in center of flower, sometimes
marked near center with faint blue or purple lines ; altogether
the least picturesque of any of the different classes of Pansies. It
is highly prized by a great many Pansy lovers for just that reason.
Packet 100 Seeds , 4 Cts.
Peacock Pansy.
A beautiful variety of ultramarine blue in the upper petals of
the flower, edged with a thiu white line, within which is a space of
purplish crimson, passing into a rich central blotch of deep blue,

resemble that of peacock feathers. Pkt. WO Seeds, 4 Cts.

duced up to date by the expert Pansy growers of Europe and
America. If you want red Pansies try this mixture. Pkt. WO
