TBJTOMA PFITZERII. 



Everblooming "WED HOT POKER PLANT, 



This new variety is a marvelous improvement 

 over the old well-known " Red Hot Poker " plant. 

 It is a very free blooming sort, flowering continu- 

 ously throughout the season. The flowers are large 

 spikes of brilliant flame color, rich yellow at base, 

 with long stalks gracefully poised above the rich 

 green foliage. A bed of this in bloom is a grand 

 sight; a border of it around Cannas is admirable; 

 scattered throughout the flower garden it adds grace 

 and brightness and is in its glory when nearly all 

 other flowers are seared with early frosts. The roots 

 should be dug up before hard frost and kept in sand 

 in the cellar during winter. (See cut.) Price, 30c. 

 each, $3.00 per doz. 



Hardy Double English Violet. 



VERBENA 

 MRS. MCKINLEY 



This violet is entirely hardy, perfectly double, a 

 deep violet purple color and most deliciously frag- 

 rant. It surpasses the well-known " Marie Louise " 

 Violet in richness of color, being many shades darker, and far ex- 

 cels it in its delightful odor; this is one of its greatest merits. It 

 is entirely free from disease of any kind, will grow and bloom in 

 any garden and in any situation. Nothing is more appropriate 

 for cemeterv plots than the Hardy Double English Violet. (See 

 cut.) Price, 1st size, 30c. each, $3.00 per doz., $20.00 per 100.

 dantly. Price, large clamps, 50c. each, $4.50 per doz.; young

 imaginable. A dwarf, compact grower, and easily supersedes the older types, 

 being a vast improvement. Price, 10c. each, $1.00 per doz., $6.00 per 100.
