1846 Saxifraga Umbrosa (London Pride). Pink; beautiful; hardy perennial i foot 



1847 Rotundifolia. White ; hardy perennial, i foot 



1848 Scabiosa Nana Fl. PI. Varieties (Benary). New, double, dwarf Scabious. This 



beautiful novelty will be found a valuable improvement of the well-known Dwarf 

 Scabious. The flowers, which have all the beautiful varieties of colors of this 

 tribe, are perfectly double, and form round, globular heads ; the petals are shorter, 

 so that the stamens become almost invisible, making the flower resemble a double 

 Pompon Chrysanthemum. It is of a dwarfer and more compact habit than the old 

 varieties, and will prove a most valuable acquisition

with large handsome blooms of a rich crimson purple, with black eye

flowers, with sulphur eye , 



1851 Retusus Nana. A most desirable variety of this ornamental greenhouse or half- 

 hardy annual, forming a compact well-branched plant, with a* profusion of" rich red 

 blossoms. A very effective plant for pot-culture and conservatory decoration . 



1852 Schizostylis Coccinea. A new African plant, which appears to be a rival to the Gladio- 



lus, resembling it, not only in general habit, but in the brilliancy of its long spikes 

 of broad open flowers, varying from deep rosy crimson to vivid scarlet, and measur- 

 ing two inches across. It appears quite hardy, and blooms in the autumn, remaining 

 long in flower. It is easily cultivated, and will be very valuable for the open garden 

 or for greenhouse decoration. The flowers are striking and brilliant 



1853 Sedum Denticulata. Rose ; fine ; hardy perennial, foot 



1854 Silene Alpestris. White ; hardy perennial. foot 



1855 Pendula Ruberrima. A very remarkable variety, worthy of general cultivation, 



as vigorous and free-flowering as Silene Pendula ; but its flowers are of a deeper 

 crimson tinge, and its stems, leaves, and petals of a brownish-purple color, which 

 extends also to the calix, and imparts to the whole plant a very peculiar and striking 

 aspect 



1856 Saxifraga. Charming little miniature species, very fine for borders or rock-works. 



Its foliage, of a shining green, resembles a fine, short grass, and is dotted with numer- 

 ous pretty, white flowers ; grows two to four inches in height 



1857 Solanum Fontanesianum. An annual species, with large canary-yellow fiowers, deeply- 



cut foliage, and spinous fruits of the size of a walnut

 culture, i foot 



1864 Ten Week, New, Tall, Large-Flowering, Giant German Bomb. This, is 



without doubt, the most perfect stock ever produced, and, well-grown, forms a compact 

 and giant plant. Its immense truss, and long duration of flowering, make it a most 

 useful variety, either for the garden or bouquet 



1865 Statice Thouinii. A splendid novelty of 1867 ; of dwarf, bushy habit, with spreading 



heads of flowers, the corollas of which are white, with porcelain-blue calyces : very

flowers, brilliant scarlet ; said to surpass all others 



370 Lilli Schmidt Crimson. A bright crimson variety of the Lilli Schmidt 



1371 Kinq of Tom Thumbs. Magnificent. The lustrous, blue-green foliage, con- 

 trasting vividly with the intense scarlet of the blossoms, produces an unequalled 

 _ blaze of brilliance, and the plant must become a universal favorite . . . . 



1872 Tritoma Uvaria Grandiflora. One of the finest summer and late-autumn flowering 



herbaceous plants known, forming magnificent groups in flower-gardens, borders, &c., 

 and admirably adapted for single specimens. The very brilliant orange-red and 

 flame-colored, sceptre-like flower-heads, three to four feet high, elevated above the 

 foliage, are unequalled for effect in masses or for border decorations. The plants 

 should be lifted, and placed in a frame or cellar during winter. Per packet .
