OF 



NEW, RARE AND BEAUTIFUL PLANTS. 



*PELAEGONICM QUEEN VICTORIA— With a Colored Plate. 



To say that this is handsome conveys but an inadequate idea of it, for it is 

 the most marvellously beautiful and novel variety ever oifered. 



The flowers have peculiarly crispy petals ; they are not really double, but 

 from their fulness of form and extra number of petals have the appearance of 

 being so. The color is a rich vermilion, all the petals broadly margined with 

 pure white, and the upper ones blotched with maroon. The contrast of the 

 broad white margin with the vermilion ground color makes the flower extremely 

 pleasing and attractive. S2 each. 



*SPECULUM, (LAXTON.)— New Double Dwarf Geranium. 



A seedling from Madame Eose Charmeaux, fertilized by "Waltham Seedling; 

 color blackish carmine, like the Eose " Geant des Battailles ; " individual 

 flowers very pretty, on long foot-stalks ; petals imbricated as in the Camellia ; 

 good truss, habit dwarf, short-jointed and slender ; foliage slightly zoned. 

 $1 each. 



*REYNOLD'S HOLE, (LAXTON.)— New Double Dwarf Geranium. 



Flowers of fine form, large, cupped, very double, and of a striking coppery 

 red color ; truss very large, habit somewhat vigorous ; a most distinct and 

 showy variety. $1 each. / 



*JACOB^£A, (LAXTON.)— New Double Dwarf Geranium. 



The flower of this variety is of a novel bluish purple color, approaching in 

 form and appearance the well known Senecio, (Jacobiea.) Habit dwarf and 

 slender; foliage darkly zoned. A good winter flowerer. $1 each. 



*AGLAIA, (LAXTON.)— New Double Dwarf Geranium. 



A seedling from Madame Eose Charmeux. Flowers very double and of a 

 pretty deep pink. This is perfection in habit, being the most dwarf and com- 

 pact growing of any of the doubles yet sent out. Foliage bright green with 

 darkish zone — quite unique. $1 each. 



* GEORGES SAND, (SISLBY.)— New Double White Geranium. 



This is a great improvement on "Aline Sisley," the flowers are much 

 larger, pure white under glass, assuming a slight rosy flesh-color when exposed 

 to the sun — it is also more double — neat compact habit and most profuse 

 bloomer ; the best double white out. SI each.
