Celosia. (Cockscomb.)

One of the most beautiful flowers that can be grown in the open ground. Produce large, ornamental comb-like heads. For summer beds we know of nothing that will produce as showy and brilliant effects. Can be preserved for winter bouquets by cutting off the heads before they are ripe, and drying in the house.

Giant Empress.--Very handsome either for pot plants or specimen plants in beds, where they excite the curiosity of visitors more than almost any plant that can be grown. The Empress is the finest and most gorgeous variety yet introduced. It is not uncommon for the heads of this variety to measure over twelve inches in breadth; very bright purple combs and dark bronze foliage. Pkt. 10c.

Golden Glow.--This is one of the most attractive novelties of the season. Plants large and produce many handsome flowers six to ten inches in diameter and of a most attractive bright, rich golden yellow color, different and more velvety than the yellow in any other flower that we know of. Try it. Pkt. 10c.

All Varieties Mixed.--Pkt. 5c.

Centrosema.

Grandiflora.--Absolutely new to cultivation but one of the very best in actual merit. It is a hardy perennial vine of rare and exquisite beauty, which blooms early in June from seed sown in April, and bears in the greatest profusion inverted pea-shaped flowers from 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inches in diameter, nd ranging in color from a rosy violet to a reddish purple, with a broad feathered white marking through the center. It will bloom until frost, and if potted will flower freely in the house. One of the most attractive features is the way in which the flowers look up at you in the face. Every imaginative person sees faces in the Pansy, and this is even more suggestive in Centrosema. Therefore "Look at Me," is not a bad name for it. Pkt. 15c.

Cacalia.

Coccinea.--A handsome free flowering little plant owing to the peculiar form of the flower, it is sometimes called Tassel Flower or Flora's Paint Brush. Scarlet. Pkt. 5c.

Cineraria.

Maritima.--Silver-leaved. Pkt. 5c.

Catchfly.

A very pretty and showy little plant. Mixed colors. Pkt. 2c.

Cleome.

Pungens.--(The Giant Spider Plant.) Growing vigorously four or five feet high, flowering profusely and a perpetual bloomer and of a bright rose color. It is also one of the very best honey producing plants. Pkt. 5c.

Clianthus.

Dampeiri.--A beautiful shrubbery climber, grown mostly under glass, but does well out of doors in summer time. Flowers brilliant scarlet, growing in clusters. Pkt. 15c.
