PHRYNIUM VARIEGATUM. 
In the engraving below we show a new plant which we believe 
is destined to take a prominent place among decorative plants 
for the house, and in sub-tropical bedding in the open ground in 
summer, Its growing is not unlike a Canna, strong and free, and 
the foliage is beautifully marked creamy white on a dark green 
ground; the white and green blend in some portions of the leaf, 
and the result is shades of sea green, moss green, etc., although 
the prevailing colors are white and dark green. It is of the 
easiest culture, will grow and make fine plants in the house, 
and lasts well under ordinary conditions. It is bright and cheer- 
ful in appearance, and shows well among palms and other decor- 
ative plants; in fact, no collection would be complete without it. 
It thrives best where there is plenty of air in free circulation, 
partial shade, a moderate amountof moisture, and a temperature 
of 60 to 65 degrees at night, and 10 to 15 degrees higher in day- 
time when the sun is shining. 
Price, extra large plants from 6 in. pots, $1.00 each; plants from 
x | 5 in. pots, 50c. each; young plants, 25c. each, $2.00 per doz., 
iy $15.00 per 100. 
PETUNIA, ‘‘ WHITE SQUADRON.” 
NEW DOUBLE WHITE PETUNIA, 
“WHITE SQUADRON.” 
This splendid Petunia was raised from seed in 1891, and was selected from 
among the thousands we grew as being the best. We offered this last year for 
the first time, and sold large quantities of it to our most critical trade; from time 
to time during the summer we received flattering testimonials to its merits, 
and another season’s trial confirmed our first appraisement of its great value. 
Unlike most others previously offered, this variety is of strong constitution, and 
is covered with its splendid flowers the whole season long. It was this fine qual- 
ity which suggested its name, every plant being crowned with a squadron of 
pure white flowers. (See cut.) Price, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz., $8.00 per 100. 
DOUBLE FRINGED PETUNIAS, 
INEEVARIETY. 
We devote much effort to the cultivation of the Double Petunia; we spare no 
pains or expense to obtain the best results, and as a consequence we succeed 
annually in raising a succession of fine varieties. It is difficult, almost impos- 
sible, to perpetuate through propagation by cuttings any of the colored sorts, as 
the second year the colors blend together and distinctiveness is lost, hence the 
necessity of constantly obtaining fresh varieties from seed. The varieties named 
below we selected from the vast numbers of seedling we grew the past season. 
They are all beautifully fringed and exhibit every shade and marking found in 
Double Petunias. In speaking of these, we are often at a loss for fitting terms 
to describe the brilliant shades and bewildering combinations of color, so that if 
-any discrepancy appears between the flowers and description, it will be the result 
of natural variation from the original, or a failure to describe accurately owing 
to the great diversity of shading. 
Amanda. A very handsome variety, pure snow white, lightly marked with rosy 
claret, fringed. 
Brilliant. Somewhat similar to the above, clear pearly white with wine-colored 
veins and great blotches of purplish magenta, deeply fringed. 
‘Circe. The body of the flower is deep claret, while toward the edges it becomes 
lighter and finely endsin clear white ; a very doubleand finely fringed variety. 
Eolus. A delicate shade of blush white, light violet in the center, outer petals 
plush pink. ° 
Fancy. A unique shade in Petunias, pinkish lavender, veined purplish magenta 
and crimson. PHRYNIUM VARIEGATUM.
