(Anthemis Coronaria, fl. pi.) 



The engraving gives a fair idea of this most beautiful 

 plant. Nothing could be more showy, either as a pot 

 plant or bedded out. This plant might well be called the 

 ^'Shower of Gold," as it is a perfect mass of rich, golden 

 yellow flowers the whole year round, being equally use- 

 ful in winter as in summer. Well grown plants have as 

 many as 150 flowers on them at once. 



30 cts. each ; 4 for $1.00 ; 9 for $2.00 ; 12 for $2.50.

FOR HOUSE CULTURE. 



Few plants reward the cultivator more liberally with wealth of bloom 

 than these, and no collection of plants, however small, should be without 

 them. The engraving was made from a plant 6 feet high and 4 feet wide. 

 Exhibited at our store last year, it was the wonder and admiration of 

 thousands, yet it received only ordinary attention, and any amateur with 

 a little care can do as well. "We offer a grand collection — the best we 

 could select in Europe — comprising the most distinct and best varieties 

 in cultivation, embracing all shades of crimson, white, pink, orange and 

 rose color. The plants are all shapely specimens, well "headed." 



1st size, $1.50 each; set 15 varieties for $20.00.

Pzalea Indiea pifea. 



This is a pure white variety, equally valuable for in-door and out-door 

 culture. It is hardy in the vicinity of New York, many plants of it 

 having survived the winters in Greenwood Cemetery for many years, 

 forming bushes over twenty feet in circumference, which are among its 

 most attractive features. 



Price, 1st size, 50 cts. each ; $4.50 per dozen.
