NEW ALTERNANTHERA AUREA 

 NANA. 



"When the Golden Alternanlhera aurea was seut out 

 a few years ago, it was believed that it would supersede 

 everything else for a yellow line in '■massing" or "rib- 

 bon bedding," but experience has shown that it is lacking 

 iu two important points. In many localities it does not 

 attain its yellow color until late in the summer, which is 

 a vital objection. Then, again, its straggling habit of 

 growth is undesirable. In this new variety we have a 

 plant which grows compact and upright to a height of 

 only four inches, and which becomes bright golden yellow 

 at once after being planted out, and retains its color right 

 through the season. The foliage is narrower than the 

 old variety, and the whole plant distinct and superior in 

 every respect. We predict for this new variety a popu- 

 larity equal to that of the crimson Parychoides major.

CRIMSON ALTERNANTHERA. Pary- 

 choides Major. 



This is the variety of which we sold 20,000 of, for one 

 bed last season. $6 00 per 100 



DOUBLE 



WHITE 

 Daphne. 



AZALEA, 



This, we consider, the finest of its class, its flowers are 

 pure white and nearly double the size of " Flag of Truce." 

 It is very free flowering and is as good a grower as any 

 of the single varieties. Price, 3J inch pots, $25 00 

 per 100. 



DOUBLE WHITE AZALEA, 

 "Flag of Truce." 



Fine healthy plants, 3 J inch, $25 00 per 100. 



NEW COLEUS, "Golden Bedder." 



This great acquisition gives us at last a pure yellow 

 Coleus that will not burn out or fail under ordinarily fav- 

 orable conditions. Tried side by side with VershafEelti 

 last summer, it stood a9 well as that variety, wh:le Oriole 

 and other yellow kinds were almost burnt up. It is 

 short- jointed and of compact style of growth, and requires 

 but little u pinching " back to keep in shape in ribbon 

 lines. When the great value of this variety becomes 

 known, the annual demand for it will be equal to that for 

 Yerahaffelti. 



$4 00 per 100. 



NEW COLEUS, "Progress." 



One of the most beautiful of Coleus for pot culture, but 

 inclined to run to dull colors out of doors. Speckled and 

 streaked crimson, yellow, and bronze. 

 % 1 00 per dozen.

SHRUBBY CALCEOLARIA. 

 "Shower of Gold." 



This, like all the Shrubby Calceolarias, is ever-bloom- 

 ing. The variety above is of strong, vigorous habit, and 

 is the only variety we have had that withstands our hot 

 summers. In partial shade the past season it bloomed in 

 profusion. It will be a great acquisition in ribbon-line 

 planting, where a line of clear yellow has long been 

 wanted, § x 50 per doz.

 all having a bright yellow centre surrounded with petals 

 running through all the shades of scarlet, crimson, roses 

 yellow, orange, white, lilac, carmine, etc.
