SELECTIONS FOR SPECIAL PURPOSES 



SELECTIONS OF VARIETIES FOR GARDEN DECORATION. 

 The following varieties have been chosen for this 

 purpose on account of their robust and free-flowering 

 habits, and because they produce their flowers on 

 long footstalks, and thus carry them well above the 

 foliage :
