26 MRS. THEODOSIA B. SHEPHERD'S ANNUAL CATALOGUE. 



Mary. This is a new Fuchsia of the Triphylla type, originating in France, 

 and a decided novelty; the plant is a profuse bloomer, the drooping flowers, over 

 two inches long, are a brilliant crimson scarlet, and stand out prominently against 

 the plain dark green foliage. The young foliage is veined with dark red and is 

 very velvety. Altogether it is a very unique plant, and a fine addition to the 

 flower garden, window garden or conservatory. Each 20e. 



FORCROYA I^IXDEXI. A most striking decorative plant with long thick 

 waved foliage, light green margined with a half inch band of cream white. Much 

 more elegant than the Century plant in every respect. A splendid ornament for 

 the garden and invaluable for pots and vases. Small plants, each 30c. 



LOVELY NEW MARGUERITE. Mine. Gaelbert. A splendid 

 new Marguerite, with very broad petals. Surpasses all others in size and snowy 

 whiteness. Each 15c to 25c. 



MRS. SHEPHERD'S jN^W IVY GERANIUM. Sweet Sixteen. 



A charming flower, that in its soft contour and tender shade reminds one of a 

 fair and lovely girl. The color is a melting shade of pink: the petals have a 

 dainty curve and airy lightness that is very attractive ; the base of the lower 

 petals is lined and spotted with velvety-red. Each 25e. 



DOUBLE POIXSETIA. Rosette. This beautiful variety is the same 

 as the single in foliage and manner of growth, but in addition to the large, splen- 

 did, red bracts of the older sort it has innumerable small leaves or bracts attached 

 to the center, forming a brilliant rosette that is very handsome. It blooms a little 

 later than the single variety and keeps better. Not new, but still rare. Each 25c 

 and 50e. *
