Single White Primrose. 



CHINESE PRIMROSES. 



For winter flowers there is no more desirable plant than the 

 Chinese Primrose. They are easily grown and flower inces- 

 santly throughout the winter. Our plants comprise all the 

 shades of crimson, pink, white and variegated. Single flowers 

 measuring 5 inches in circumference. 1st size, 25c. each; 

 $2.25 per doz.; 2d size, 15c. each; $1.50 per doz. {See cut.) 



LARGE FLOWERING PANSIES. 



We are growing this season a very fine strain of pansy 

 plants, largely yellow with a fair mixture of purple, blue, 

 black, bronze, etc., from seed of our own saving and can un- 

 hesitatingly recommend them either for winter or spring bloom- 

 ing. Price, 50c. per doz. 



POINSETT1A PULCHERRIMA. 



A tropical plant of gorgeous beauty, the bracts or leaves that 

 surround the flowers being, in well grown specimens, one foot in 

 diameter, of the most dazzling scarlet. In a hot-house tempera- 

 ture of sixty degrees it begins to bloom in November and re- 

 mains expanded until February. This peculiarity of blooming 

 in the heart of winter makes it largely in demand for baskets and 

 vases of cut flowers at the holidays in our large cities. Large 

 plants, 50c. each. 



STEVIA SERRATA NANA. 



A plant largely grown for cut flowers in winter. It bears loose 

 sprays of white flowers, very attractive in bouquets, and for table 

 decoration. Price, 10c. each; $1.00 per doz. 



Serrata Variegata. Identical with the above, but beauti- 

 fully variegated with white. It is of great value as a "bed- 

 ding" plant to contrast with darker fo'.iage. Trice. 10c. 

 each; $1.00 per doz. 



NEW HARDY WHITE PINK. 

 "Her Majesty." 



After repeated efforts we succeeded in successfully im- 

 porting this grand novelty from England, where it is held 

 in the highest esteem by the best authorites. We quote 

 herewith from the introducer's description : 



"I have much pleasure in drawing attention to this 

 charming novelty, which is unquestionably one of the finest 

 of this century, and one that will hold its own as long as 

 Pinks are cultivated. It is far ahead of anything yet seen, 

 and all the old white varieties will sink into insignificance 

 by the side of this great beauty. It has become one of the 

 most 'popular of the day,' and is being grown by acres to 

 supply the demand (which must come) for cut flowers. It 

 was freely exhibited in i88q, and was the greatest attrac- 

 tion at every exhibition, and the demand will be simply 

 enormous." 



It was awarded nine first class certificates at va- 

 rious exhibitions in England, which is an unprecedented 

 list of honors and the greatest number of certificates ever 

 awarded for a plant of like character. Price, 50c. each; 

 $4.50 per doz. 



PELARGONIUMS. 



We offer a fine collection of these, from the best of 

 European growers. They embrace the. most: distinct col- . 

 ors and shades in cultivation. Price, 50C1 each; set of 

 12 for $5.00. 



SALVIAS. 



These most excellent plants for winter blooming. We 

 offer scarlet, white, blue, pink, etc., etc. Price 10c, each; 

 $1.00 per doz. 



SMILAX VINESj

 stakes. Price, 10c. each; $1.00 per doz. 



VIOLET.- Marie Louise 



The well-known double purple variety. We offer strong

 culty in growing them. Thousands of this peerless variety are

 the country during the winter season. (See Cut.) Price, large 

 plants, 30c. each; $3.00 per doz.; young plants, 15c. each;
