LARKSPUR. “Lustrous Carmine.”’ 
Per Pkt. 
This is the name given to a very striking, new variety of 
Larkspur, the finest sort we think yet introduced. Its 
color is a fiery or lustrous carmine, and bedded out pro-_ 
duces a most brilliant effect.... .......eeeeee seeeecee vee 25 
LAVATERA ARBOREA 
HYACINTHUS CANDICANS, VARIEGATA, 
HYACINTHUS CANDICANS, 
A most striking and beautiful plant, supposed to be only 
half-hardy, but which has stood for the last two winters, in 
this vicinity, without injury with protection. It is a 
strong grower, and shoots upward a stem 4 to 5 feet 
high, upon which are regularly arranged drooping white 
flowers of exquisite fragrance and of the form shown in 
our illustration. A very pleasing effectis produced by 
planting this in the center of Gladiolus beds; such an ar- 
rangement in our grounds, last season, was greatly ad-

LAVATERA ARBOREA VARIEGATA. 
A new variegated border plant of striking appearance, and 
which, it is claimed, comes perfectly true from seed. The 
dark-green leaves are irregularly marked with greenish 
gray and pure white, and which give the plant a distinct 
and striking appearance. Although the variegation is 
most pronounced, there is no indication of weakness, 
but, on the contrary, the plant grows strong and vigor- 
ous. The plants inthe early stages do not show much 
variegation, but it is most marked and beautiful later on.
