2 2 Novelties of 1892 . 



let, flowers good size. The peculiar habit of growth of the 

 variety., its very long and brilliant spikes of flowers make it most 

 desirable. 75c each. 



Star of 91. This beautiful dwarf Canna, with its immense 

 spikes of flowers is worthy of all the praise it has received. It 

 has immense flowers of a glowing scarlet, with occasionally yel- 

 low edges; it is very dwarf. 75c each. 



New Canna Anacapa. Very tall, 5 to 7 feet; foliage and 

 stems a beautiful pea green; spikes of orange-colored flowers 

 spotted scarlet, petals very long and beautifuliy curved at the 

 edges. A magnificent and strong variety, a great improvement 

 on Emile Le Clair. 50c each. 



Chrysanthemum Latifolium Maximum. The Great 

 White "Moon-Penny" Daisy. This is one of the finest hardy 

 perennials, forming bushy plants about two feet high, which are 

 literally covered with large, pure white flowers three inches across. 

 They are highly prized for cutting purposes and last in water for 

 fully a week in perfect condition. They flower in the late sum- 

 mer and are very effective for garden decorations. 25c 



Solanum Magnifica. A grand climber, with large tropical 

 foliage and immense clusters of large violet blue flowers. 35 to 

 50c each; ready in April. 



Ipomoea 'Heavenly Blue.' A beautiful annual morning 

 glory that originated in the garden of Mrs. Theodosia B. Shep- 

 herd, evidently a child of Ipomoea Learii and Mina Lobata. The 

 foliage is very large, heart shaped, thick, and of a light green 

 color. The flowers are in large, airy clusters and are of 

 that indescribably heavenly blue so rarely seen in flowers; the 

 throat is yellow inside, spreading softly into the blue. The 

 flowers measure four and a half to five inches across, and about 

 10 o'clock in the morning no lovelier sight can be imagined than 

 this lovely vine, the great profusion of flowers almost rendering 

 the foliage invisible. Everyone who sees it for the first time is 

 filled with delight at its beauty, exclaiming: "That is the loveli- 

 est thing I ever saw!" Offered last season to the public for the 

 first time, and heartily recommended to all for trial. 



Among new chrysanthemums we can specially recommend 

 Nellie Allchin and Chula Vista as novelties of merit. 



NELLIE Allchin. A very early to late bloomer, full quilled 

 petals. A lavender to white, generally appearing pinkish. Very 

 large and hardy. One of the prettiest and softest sorts for wear- 

 ing. A very free bloomer. $1 



Chula Vista. Broad, flat pointed petals, a deep rose with 

 prominent golden center reflexed and showy. An excellent 

 bloomer and a fine decorative sort. $1
