PETUNIAS. 



Cuba. A unique shade of soft-lilac-pink, through which deep 

 chocolate veins run ; a rare combination of colors. 



Darkness. A very rich and distinctive shade of purplish-crim- 

 son. Unlike most sorts, this is a solid color without markings. 



Firmament. An exceedingly rich and very rare shade of car- 

 mine-crimson; very deep and lustrous, lightly marked white. 



Garnet. This excellent variety bears flowers of a rich, intense 

 garnet-crimson; the most vivid of any in the list. 



Glacier. Pure, glistening white, with just a faint trace of color- 

 ing towards the centre; this may spread through the flower. 



Matchless. Beautifully variegated, intense violet-crimson, deep 

 and beautiful; edges deeply marked with snow-white. 



Opal. A choice and attractive variety. The coloring is a 

 ground of soft pearly-white, marked with soft lilac-pink. 



PINK BEAUTY. Pink is a rare color in Double Petunias, but 

 we have it in this variety; a pretty shade of lavender-pink. 

 (See cut.) Price, 25c. each, $2.50 per doz. 



Surprise. Very pleasing in its charming combination of blush- 

 white and crimson. The former is the ground color. 



Tempest. Pure white ground on which are irregular portions 

 of violet-crimson, heaviest towards the margins of the petals. 



The Queen. Rich claret is prominent in the flowers of this 

 beautiful variety; but it is accentuated with pearly-white. 



Unusual. An unusual combination of pearly-white and soft 

 lilac. The latter color is overlaid on the white ground. 



Price of the New Double Petunias, except where noted, 10c. 

 each, set of 12 superb sorts for $1.00; $6.00 per 100. 



THE BABY PRIMROSE. 



(Primula Forbesii). A very attractive variety, blooming 

 almost continuously from September to June in the green- 

 house, conservatory .or window garden. It bears a profusion 

 of sprays of rosy-lilac flowers, very useful for bouquets. Price, 

 $1.25 per doz. Note. — We can supply Primula Obconica at the 

 same rate. 



THE MOST UNIQUE ROSE 

 OF A CENTURY. 



Awarded a gold medal at the Horticultural Exhibition, World's 

 Fair, St. Louis, over all other new Roses. 



(MADAME NORBERT LEVAVASSEUR.) 



DWARF, HARDY, PERPETUAL 



FLOWERING CRIMSON RAMBLER. 



See Illustration on Front Cover of this Catalogue, also colored 

 sketch in retail Catalogue. 



THE descriptive name of this extremely valuable new 

 Rose, " Dwarf Crimson Rambler," seems a misnomer, 

 yet nothing is more appropriate, for the fame of the 

 "Crimson Rambler" properly belongs to it. It forms com- 

 pact bushes about 2 feet high when fully grown, and is fully 

 covered with clusters of its rich, crimson-red flowers through- 

 out the season. It begins to bloom when in small pots and 

 is practically never out of bloom for the balance of the season. 

 Perfectly hardy, it requires no winter care, and should, improve 

 each year with good culture. The coloring is brighter and 

 more persistent than in its parent, the " Crimson Rambler," 

 of which it is a seedling. The size of the clusters and the num- 

 ber of flowers in each are the marvel of all beholders. Its 

 use is varied so as to render it invaluable. As a bedded vari- 

 ety, to make a low, attractive hedge, to border a walk, for 

 planting in cemeteries, or for growing in pots in the house, 

 it stands alone and must find its .way everywhere. Remember 

 it is hardy and perpetual flowering. 



Price, 1st size, strong 2 year plants from 5-inch pots, 65c. 

 each, $7.00 per doz.; 2d size, strong 1 year plants from 4-inch 

 pots, 50c. each, $5.00 per doz. ; 3d size, youijg plants from 3-inch 

 pots, $3.00 per doz.
