MEW DOUBLE ANTIRRHINUMS. 



The single varieties are valued for their showy appearance in 

 •Hie summer months. These new double varieties are equally 

 attractive in color and profuseness of flower ; and, being double, 

 are more useful for bouquets, having nearly the substance and 

 size of a Carnation. Alpha— bright canary yellow, streaked 

 -with maroon. Omega — dark rich crimson, tipped with gold. 

 50c. each; $4.50 per dozen. The two varieties for 75c. 



NEW AGERATUM, 

 "White Cap." 



Ia this we have a variety with the same strong, compact habit 

 as the blue bedding varieties, with flowers of purest white. All 

 ■White Ageratums heretofore have been of little value, from their 

 straggling style of growth. 



30c. each ; $3.00 per dozen. 



NEW AGERATUM, 

 "Cope's Gem." 



Deep rich porcelain blue, growing only nine or ten inches in 

 lleight, making a most suitable plant for a front line of blue, 

 Kr for massing in beds. 



Price 30 cts. each j $3.00 per doz. 

 The two new Ageratums for 50 cents.

ASPARAGUS TENUISSIMUS. 



We cannot praise too highly this beautiful new greenhouse 

 plant. Its fine filmy foliage surpasses in delicate beauty the 

 Maidenhair Ferns. The atems or fronds stand withor.t wilting 

 for a long time after being cut, which will render it n; jst valu- 

 able in fine cut-flower work. If so desired, it can be guvn lifeo 

 Smilax, or the "Climbing Fern." 



1st size, $1.00 each.

NEW DOUBLE SCAKLET BOUVABDIA, "IHOS. MEEHAN.' 



NEW DOUBLE BOUVARDIA, 

 "Thomas Meehan." 



The value of the double varieties is now established. In 

 this variety we have perfectly double flowers of rich orange 

 scarlet color, that are produced as freely as in the single 

 sorts. A valuable novelty. 



50c. each ; $4.50 per dozen. 



NEW BOUVARDIA VULCAN. 



A most valuable addition to our winter blooming plants. 

 In size of truss and free flowering qualities it resembles the 

 old Bouvardia Elegans, while its color is a dazzling shade of 

 crimson scarlet. All who saw it for the first in our green- 

 houses last fall considered it a great acquisition. 

 50c. each ; $4.50 per dozen. 



BESSERA ELEGANS. 



A most beautiful bulb, native of Mexico. It sends up 

 slender stalks about one foot high, terminated with scarlet 

 flowers striped with yellow. Blooming in the open ground 

 in September and October. 



30c. each ; $3.00 per dozen. 



Received plants in good order. Taanks.
