NEW AND RARE PLANTS.

CRASSULA GRACILIS. 



A perfect little gem. It grows only three inches high, and is 

 covered all summer with its wax-like flowers of a deep rose 

 color. From their succulent nature the flowers remain on the 

 plant a long time, which will make it a most valuable variety to 

 use in mosaic bedding with other succulents. It also makes a 

 beautiful pot plant. 



50c. each ; $4.50 per dozen. 



NEW CALCEOLARIA, " Rajah." 



The individual flowers of this variety are small, but are pro- 

 duced in immense clusters. The flower is dark rich maroon 

 color, with an under lip of golden yellow. The effect of this 

 combination is very striking and beautiful. 

 30c. each ; $3.00 per dozen. 



NEW COLEUS. 



1886 



Our New Coleus are looked forward 

 to by our customers each season with 

 great curiosity and interest, our pre- 

 vious great success with this class of 

 plants being unequaled. Nearly all 

 the best varieties now in cultivation 

 originated with us. We had a grand 

 display of seedling Coleus in our place 

 last summer — over 3,000 plants. The 

 twelve varieties named and described 

 below are our choice of that immense 

 number : 

 Blaze. Flaring crimson, marked pink, 



maroon and violet. 

 Golden Dawn. Clear yellow, like 

 Golden Bedder, but a better 

 grower. 

 Paroquette. Curiously mottled and 



splashed yellow and crimson. 

 Magpie. Green, evenly and distinctly 

 marked in the centre with golden 

 yellow. 

 Rob Roy. Dark carmine pink, yellow 

 and green edge, beautifully ser- 

 rated. 

 Corsair. Dark velvety crimson, edged 



and penciled with deep maroon. 

 Priscilla. Serrated green leaf, marked 

 in centre with creamy white, un- 

 der side of leaf violet pink. 

 Crimson Bedder. Dark crimson, 

 somewhat in the style of Ver- 

 shaffelti. 

 Aline. Maroon, bright pink centre. 

 Black Butterfly. Black, with ser 



rated white edge, veined violet. 

 Rover. Oddly cut foliage, marked and 

 blotched crimson, pink and ma- 

 roon. 

 Royal Mantle. Light brick red, 

 exquisitely fringed with a serrated 

 golden edge, sometimes shaded 

 pink.

NEW CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 



Chrysanthemums are now, and deservedly, the most fashion- 

 able of all autumn flowers. Their easy culture and freedom 

 from insects and disease commend them to the most inex- 

 perienced cultivators, while the varied and gorgeous colors 

 and fantastic shapes of many of the varieties make them 

 the fashionable flower of autumn. All Chrysanthemums are 

 hardy in the latitude of New York, and a covering of 4 or 5 

 inches of dry leaves or litter around the roots will enable tbeui 

 to stand the winter in almost every State in the Union. The- 

 following varieties were selected in Japan, and are probably 

 the finest collection ever offered in this country. The size, fan- 

 tastic shapes and colors of the flowers are truly wonderful.

" The box of plants were received in good order, though they were nine days on the road, 

 appreciate them." 



They were all very choice, and I highly
