NEW FANCY HYBRID PETUNIAS. 



Our seedling Petunias have justly gained a country wide repu- 

 tation. They are one of our specialties, to which we devote 

 great attention. All the seed from which these plants are 

 raised was saved from the finest flowers, carefully hybridized 

 by hand. This new race of Petunias is characterized by the 

 immense size of the flowers, and brilliancy of colors, which 

 comprise the varied shades of rose, purple, white, crimson, 

 maroon, pink, etc., beautifully fringed and striped. 



Seedlings, mixed, single, 10 cts each; $0.75 per doz.

PRIMROSE, CHINESE, SINGLE RED, 

 WHITE, ETC.

 ing an abundance of bloom during the winter months. Care

 scarce plant, but our stock is large, and we offer it low, size 

 of plants considered. No plant is better suited for room

 blossoms. 15 cts. each ; $1.50 per doz. 



A Double Abutilon was displayed in the button-hole of a member of the Floral Committee at the last meeting of the Royal Society, and 

 was much admired. The flower was of a buff-tinted orange color and perfectly double. This tine novelty was raised by Mr. Peter Henderson, 

 of New York. — From " Gardener's Chronicle," London, England.
