SINGLE DAHLIAS 



Are now very popular as bedding 

 l plants, and also do finely in pots. 

 fY.ey are dwarf and compact in 

 YeV'it, and when covered with 

 their bright star-shaped flowers, 

 are exceedingly beautiful. The 

 flowers are also fine for cutting 

 and were very fashionable in Xew 

 York last season for Corsage 

 bouquets. Our seed is saved from 

 an European collection, containing 

 all colors. If sown before the 1st 

 of March, they will bloom the 

 first season. Per ounce, $4 00. 



CENTACREA GYMNOCARPA. CINERARIA ACANTHIFOLIA 



CINERARIA. 



C. Acanthifolia is becoming very popular as a white 

 leif ribbon plant, on account of its non-liability to damp off 

 and it stands cutting to any height splendidly. Per oz. $4 00 



C. Maritima per oz., 30c. 



NEW DOUBLE FLOWERING GAILLARDIA. 

 (Gaillardia picta Lorenziana.) 



Our illustration conveys a 

 true idea of this remarkable 

 novelty. In a strict botanical 

 sense, it is not double, but it is so 

 entirely different from the old 

 single Gaillardia, that the blooms 

 would scarcely be recognized as 

 belonging to the same species. 

 The colors offered (in mixture) are 

 sulphur and golden yellow.orange, 

 claret and amaranth, and are pro- 

 duced quite as freely as any of 

 the old sorts. After two years of 

 cultivation, it has established 

 itself as a plant of decided merit. 



Price per ounce. .$2 00 



HYACINTHUS CANDICANS. 



A most striking and beautiful 

 plant, supposed to be only half- 

 hardy, but which has stood for 

 the last two winters, in this vici- 

 nity, without injury with protec- 

 tion. It is a strong grower, and 

 shoots upwards a stem 4 to 5 feet 

 high, upon which are regularly 

 arranged drooping white flowers 

 of exquisite fragrance and of the 

 form shown in our illustration. A 

 very pleasing effect is produced 

 by planting this in the center of 

 Gladiolus beds ; such an arrange- 

 ment in our grounds, last season, 

 was greatly admired. Per oz. $2. 



LAVATERA ARBOREA VARIEGATA. 



A new variegated border plant 

 of striking appearance,and which 

 it is claimed, comes perfectly true 

 from seed. The dark-green leaves 

 are irregularly marked with 

 greenish gray and pure white, 

 which give the plant a disiinct 

 and striking appearance. Al- 

 though the variegation is most 

 pronounced, there is no indication 

 of weakness, but on the contrary, 

 the plant grows strong and vigor- 

 ous. The plants in the early 

 stages do not show much variega- 

 tion, but it is most marked and beautiful later on. Per trade 

 packet, $1 00.
