Streptocarpus, New Hybrids. 



THIS beautiful new race of Streptocarpus originated at the Royal Gardens 

 Kew, London. The variation of colors in these new hybrids is very 

 striking, scarcely two plants being exactly alike, and the colors range from 

 pure white, pale lavender and all the various shades of blue to deep violet, 

 bright rose and red to rich rosy purple, with all the intermediate tints, and in 

 all the tlowers the throat and three lower segments are marked or splashed 

 with long blotches or spots of various shades of purple generally shaded 

 white. 



The plant is a greenhouse or indoor perennial of dwarf neat habit, grow; 

 ing about 9 inches high, with long narrow arched and recurved stemless leaves 

 the leaves are of a bright velvety green color, slightly woolly at top and 

 bottom. The flowers, which are very graceful in form, are trumpet- 

 shaped, widely open and slightly recurved at the mouth, and measure 

 about 1% inches in length. 



Packet, 50 cents.

New Hardy Hybrid Primroses. 



THIS lovely genus of plants has not received the attention it de- 

 serves, and only requires to be introduced to become a general 

 favorite with all plant lovers. For permanent borders and 

 rock-work they are invaluable, making a grand display throughout 

 the season. 



They are not quite hardy in this northern latitude, but'fif pro- 

 tected with a light covering of leaves or litter, they will live through- 

 out our hardest winters. As a pot plant they are excellent, and may 

 be relied upon to give a profusion of bloom. 



The strain we offer is saved from a collection of the newest and 

 handsomest varieties, ranging in color from pure white to dark 

 crimson. 



Packet, 25 cents. 





A Handsome new stock of pyramidal shape, flowering

 robust habit and produces an abundance of bloom, forming 

 a perfect bouciuet.
