No. 5660. NICOTIANA SANDER. In this new 
plant we welcome one of the finest hardy annuals 
ever introduced to American gardens. It is of 
dwarfer growth and more bushy habit than the 
favorite Nicotiana affinis; its height being about 
2 feet. The flowers are brilliant carmine-red, a 
color unknown to any plant of similar character 
and hardly seen in our gardens after the finer 
red Roses have bloomed in June. This plant 
is as easy of cultivation as the common tobacco, 
to which family it belongs. Like Nicotiana 
affinis it is sweet scented, but to a less degree; 
the general form of the flower is similar to that 
variety, with the tube shorter and stouter, and 
the flowers are much more numerous, arranged 
in long graceful sprays. Nicotiana Sander . 
will have a wide range of usefulness; it is a 
charming plant for any line of garden decoration, 
for flower beds, for shrubbery, for ribbon work, 
or for the wild garden; the whole plant being 
laden with flowers from base to summit —liter- 
ally ablaze with most handsome - carmine-red 
blossoms. Pkt., .25; 5 pkts., $1.00.
