 early, being in full perfection the last week in October, and 

 can be had earlier. Very brilliant in appearance, grand in 

 size and form . One of the very grandest of last year's intro- 

 duction. A sensational variety. Fine at all the shows.

 and perfecting numerous extra large flowers of bright yel- 

 low or bronze-yellow, inner petals incurving, outer petals 

 reflexed. 



The Queen. — A grand double white, of fine size and great sub- 

 stance, very rounded in form, incurving and full. ProDably 

 the most valuable novelty of 1895. By far the best of its 

 style, and a prize winner wherever shown. This year has 

 given us two of our grandest whites. Queen and Niveus, and 

 nearly equal in merit and totally distinct. 



Yivand Morel. — This grand variety has literally leaped into pop- 

 ularity. Flowers so large as to startle you. The color 

 shades from a few rows of lavender-pearl to the richest pink.

 Splendid for cut flowers, and a magnificent bush plant. A 

 No. x for all purposes. •
