Two varieties of one of the finest late flowering, hardy herba- 

 ceous plants. They begin blooming about the middle of Sep- 

 tember and continue in perfection until November, being one 

 of the last flowers seen in the garden. An excellent hardy plant 

 for cemetery purposes. Though not new, it is quite a scarce 

 plant. (See cut.) 20 cts. each; $2.00 per doz. 



NEW ALTERNANTHERA AUREA 

 NANA. 



In this new variety we have a plant which grows compact and 

 upright to a height of only four inches, and which becomes 

 bright golden yellow at once after being planted out, and re- 

 tains its color right through the season. The foliage is narrower 

 than the old variety, and the whole plant distinct and superior 

 in every respect. It makes a fine contrast with the crimson 

 variety. Parychoides major. 10 cts. each; 75 cts. per dozen. 

 Special prices given on large quantities. 



ALTERNANTHERA PARYCHOIDES 

 MAJOR (Rainbow Plant). 



This grand ornamental foliaged plant is now grown in im- 

 mense quantities for "massing" and for ribbon lines. We 

 supplied 20.000 plants of it in one order for one of the Newport 

 villas in 1883, and the effect of this large mass of gorgeous 

 coloring of crimson, scarlet and pink contrasting with the green 

 lawn was the wonder of thousands. It has been well named the 

 Raiubow Plant, as, when seen at different angles, it presents 

 great variety of coloring. 



Price, 10c. each; 75c. per doz. Special rates on application.
