NIGELLA NICOTIANA Really one of the most satisfactory of all garden or pot flowers, and equally valuable for either purpose. Sanderae and the new Sanderae-Affins Hybrids are en- tirely new and beautiful beyond description, and loaded with flowers at all times. Nothing- can surpass them for beauty, profusion of bloom and ease of culture. Blooms in sixty days from the time of sowing- seed. Sanderae (336)—Plants from seed attain a height of two to three feet in less than three months and are covered with exquisite long- tubular blossoms of a fine deep crimson color. A superb garden plant, also a great pot plant for fall and winter blooming. 5 Sander® Hybrids (337 )—Exquisite hybrids of Sand- erae and Affinis with a fine range of beautiful colors from crimson to white—the pink, rose and tinted shades are simply exquisite. Flowers very large, al- most as large as Petunia, with tubes five inches long. 10 Affinis (338)—Three feet high, with hundreds of fra- grant white blossoms Dome for months 5 MOONFLOWER (Climber) Its rapid, luxuriant growth, its thick, overlapping glossy foliage, and its nightly scores of immense silky blooms of rare fragrance, are merits that cannot be overestimated. _ ~~ Ipomoea Nictiphiton (318)"— Grand foliage and mag- n i fl c e n t snow-white blossoms four to five inches across 10 Blue Giant (319)—True, large, blue Moonfiower.10 Ipomoea Learei (320)—= Flowers lovely azure- blue 10 Ivy-Leaved (321)—»Re- mains open nearly all day. A single plant pro- ducing thousands of flowers pink or creamy white; leaves ivy-shaped and produced in great masses, making a dense shade 20 Mixed Moonflower Seed (322)—All the above. .15 Often called Love-in-a-Mist, from the curious way in which the pretty blue* blossoms are veiled by the feathery, close-<enveloping foliage. Fifteen inches. An easy grower of much beauty. Miss Jekyll (339)—Exquisite blue 10 Mixed Colors (339%)—Fine dwarf habit 5
