 and mottled with crimson ; and remain in bloom much longer than the single sorts .50 



1773 Pardinus (Tigrinus) Flore Pleno, Superb Double. A new strain, obtained 



by the florists of Prussia, having all the variety of colors of the single, and come so

a foot high, with large leaves of a brilliant green, blotched with black. The large,

Botanical Garden of Bordeaux. A hardy, small, shrub-like perennial ; it forms a very 

 graceful, rounded bush, its straight and upright stems branching at the top in every 

 direction, and throwing out a profusion of thread-like, drooping branchlets, covered 

 from May to October with an immense quantity of very pretty white and purple 

 flowers, larger than those of N. Gracilis. It is nearly hardy, and deserves to become 

 a general favorite, both for the open garden in summer, and greenhouse in winter . .50 



1784 Nicotiana Macrophylla Var. Gigantea. Purple-Flowered. The most remarkable 



of all the Nicotianas now cultivated. Its leaves are much larger than those of any 

 other variety ; it grows six to eight feet high ; and the plants are crowned with im- 

 mense bunches or corymbs of large purple flowers. The general habit of the plant, 



its huge foliage, and stately aspect, give it the advantage over most other ornamental- 

 leaved plants, for lawns or groups in the flower-garden. (See engraving.)
