OF THE SEASON . 



Bonne de Lamberterie. Soft rosy flesh color ; trusses good 



size ; florets very large, semi-double. 

 Centaure. Brilliant rose throughout ; enormous truss and 



florets ; a vigorous grower and superior variety. 

 La Fraicten. A beautiful shade of rosy pink, strong, vigor- 

 ous grower ; a splendid bedder. 

 Le Cid. This magnificent variety is brilliant crimson red — 



undoubtedly the finest of its color. It is pre-eminently 



adapted for bedding by its compact, vigorous habit and 



its free flowering qualities. 

 M. David. Semi-double ; bright carmine rose, upper petals 



specked with white. 

 Meteor. Brilliant red ; fine truss and floret. 

 Pres. Dutailly. Very dark amaranth, bordered with maroon ; 



upper petals marked with purple.

profuse bloomer and strong grower. 

 Albert Deleaux (Single). Beautiful flesh color distinctly 



marked with carmine rose ; upper petals marked with 



white. 

 Chancellor Commander. Very dark crimson, heavily shaded 



with plum; base of upper petals marked with orange; 



clear white eye, very distinct. 

 Alphonse Daudet. Bright salmon, deepening to an intense 



shade of the same color in the centre ; immense truss; 



habit of plant strong and vigorous; the best Geranium 



of its color. 

 Palais de L' Industrie. The body of the flower is deep blush . 



shading to rosy claret at the centre ; the upper petals are 



very clearly marked with the latter color. A decidedly 



novel and distinct sort. 



Price, 50 cts. each ; set of 12 sorts for $4.50. 

 For other Geraniums, see page 133. 



DnuhlE Pink HydrannEB, 



(H. Stellata Rubra Plena.) 



A most novel and beautiful style of Hydrangea. The flowers, 

 or more properly the bracts, are double and similar in appearance 

 to a Polyantha Bose. The engraving shows a plant in miniature. 

 It attains a height and width of three to four feet, and when in 

 bloom is covered with its rosy red double blossoms, which, owing 

 to their double form, remain perfectly fresh much longer than the 

 single ones. This is one of the most distinct and useful plants 

 ever introduced, and should be in every collection. Equally hardy 

 as the other Japan sorts. 



Price for large stock plants, $3.00 each. 

 Strong plants from 4-inch pots, $1.50 each; S15.00 dozen,

New White FringEd Hydrangea. 



(Hydrangea Stellata Fimbriata.) 



This beautiful Hydrangea forms flowers in immense trusses, 

 sometimes nine inches in diameter ; the bracts are of the purest 

 white, fringed, having a crimson spot in the centre. This variety 

 we find to be not only finer but hardier than the old white Hy- 

 drangea, "Thos. Hogg," so that it will form an excellent and most 

 appropriate plant for cemetery purposes. Plants attain a diameter 

 and height of from three to four feet. 



Price for large stock plants, $2.00 each. Fine plants in 4-inch 

 pots, 75 cts. each ; $7.50 per doz. Strong plants in 3-inch pots, 

 50c. each ; $4.50 per doz. In 2-inch pots, 30c. each ; $3.00 per doz. 

 The two new Hydrangeas, in large stock plants, for $4.00.
