 carefully selected assortment, each variety being- the best of its kind yet intro- 

 duced. The collection includes varieties of various heights, and which bloom at 

 different seasons, producing flowers of all styles and colors. The whole, or a care- 

 fully selected number of them, will make a most effective bed or border, affording,
