A pure white variety, rarely exceeding eighteen inches in height, with flower- 

 trusses sis inches in diameter ; one of the most beautiful of all white flowering, hardy 

 plants. Price 50 cents each ; $4 50 per dozen. 



FORCING PINK, "Lady Blanche." 



A rose-petalled,^"?*^ white variety, double, of line form and clove fragrance; it is 

 equally prolific in bloom as the well-known, white-fringed pink, but having much larger 

 and finer formed flowers. Price 60 cents each. 



FORCING PINK, " Coccinea." 



Color scarlet, entirely different from any other pink, being more like a Carnation 

 except in its dwarf habit, which is only about 1 foot when in full flower. We brought 

 the stock of this variety from London in fall of 1872, but had not stock enough of it to 

 offer until last season. It is of the richest clove fragrance.
