PETUNIA HYBRID A. Flore Pleno. 

 Double flowering kinds, very carefully fertilized, producing sixty per cent, 

 of double flowers. Soiv thinly and cover slightly. Shade from the sun, and 

 water with much care. As soon as the plants can be lifted on the point of a 

 penknife, and before they are more than one-quarter of an inch in height, 

 transplant them into small pots, putting several into each pot, half an inch 

 apart. When the plants are to be placed separately in pots, break the balls 

 and shake them out, but take care of the stunted, feeble looking ones, for they 



AKE THE DOUBLES.

EUCALYPTUS GLOBULUS. (Blue Gum Tree.) 



"Fever and Ague Plant." 



We offer seed of this, so that those who are curious to know, may see what 

 the plant is like. It makes a pretty tree and would form an object of interest 

 in sub-tropical planting. 



Price, 25 cents per packet. 



HOLLYHOCK. New Dwarf Japanese. 

 Our crop of seed of this interesting plant proved an entire failure, and we 

 shall have none to offer before next year. We have for sale, however, fine 

 plants of it, for price and description of which please refer to our Plant Cat- 

 alogue of this year. 



DOUBLE WHITE GERANIUM. Aline Sisley. 



The Aline Sisley is known as the best of the double white Geraniums, yet it 

 is far from perfect, and leaves much to be desired in the way of a pure dou- 

 ble white. The seed we now off er has been grown for -us by Mr. J. Yates 

 Peek, of Brooklyn, and is the result of the most careful fertilization of the 

 bloom of the Aline Sisley and may be expected to produce a great improve- 

 ment on that variety. A limited quantity of seed. 



Price, 50 cents per packet. 



IVY-LEAVED GERANIUM 

 Although the foliage of this class is of sufficient interest to warrant its cul- 

 tivation, yet the value is greatly enhanced by the beauty and profusion of its 

 flowers during the Spring and Summer months, running through the various 

 shades of white, pink and crimson. 



Price, 25 cents per packet.
