ROSE, TEA, EON SILENE, 



An old sort, but now attracting attention as a variety valuable for forcing for Win- 

 ter flowers. It has long been extensively grown around Boston, but its value has only 

 begun to be realized in our vicinity lately. It is a true Tea Eose, having the delicious 

 odor of that class ; the color is peculiarly bright, but of a shade difficult to describe — a 

 blending of purple and carmine, with the slightest shade of orange. The luda of Bon 

 Silene have sold in New York, at the holidays, for $25 per 100, wholesale. 



Large stock plants, $2 each, $21 per dozen ; second size, $1 each, $9 per dozen ; 

 third size, 50 cents each, $4.50 per dozen.
