ABUTILON BOULE DE NEIGE.— A Plate appeared of this in Catalogue 



for 187 4- 



The Floral Magazine says of it: "Abutilon Boule de Neige was exhibited \>y 

 Mr. Standish, of the Royal Nursery Ascot, and whs received by him from. 

 France ; he describes it as very free-flowering, as indeed could be seen from the 

 small plants exhibited hy him being full of flowers ; and he also states that it is 

 very valuable as a subtropical plant, bearing exposure to the summer well, and 

 interesting by the contrast of its pure white flowers and green foliage. This 

 plant will be invaluable to our Florists for cut bloom ; during summer, when 

 bedded out, and during winter in the forciog house — a charming acquisition to 

 this group." 50 cents each. 



ABUTILON DUC DE MALAKOFF VARIEGATA. 



This is in the style of A. Thomsoni, but of stronger habit, from 2 to 5 feet in 

 height. Its comparatively large leaves, 4 to 6 inches in width, being very richly 

 blotched or mottled with white and gold blotches, are exceedingly attractive for 

 centre or side groups in the summer flower garden. Its neat, erect growth will 

 either form a very picturesque back row for a richly decorative leaf belt or by 

 training it for bushy growth. It will also make a very elegant lower bed, or 

 group from 2 to 3 feet in height as required. 50 cents each. 



LOBELIA PUMILA GRANDIFLORA PLENA.— Double Lobelia. 



The flowers of this beautiful Lobelia are of a light blue, very double, neat 

 compact habit ; an admirable plant for hanging baskets, bedding out ; a charm- 

 ing little plant. 25 cents each ; $2 per dozen. 



*DOUBLE CINERARIAS. 



Seedling plants raised from double seed direct from the raisers. 50 cts. each. 



AGERATUM, COUNTESS OF STAIR.— (New.) 



This may be considered, without doubt, a decided advance upon A. Imperial 

 Dwarf, for profuse and compact as is the habit of this latter plant, the flower 

 heads in Countess of Stair are still more dense; and the habit of Imperial 

 Dwarf, compact as it is, is also decidedly improved upon. There is not a shoot 

 but throws up a head of dense blossoms beginning at only a few inches from 

 the ground, and only ending when its entire height of six or eight inches is 

 attained, and when the whole top of the plant is one dense mass of fragrant 

 lavender-blue blossoms. 50 cents each. (Ready in April.) 



ANTHURIUM MAGNIFICUM.— (Grandis.) 



The foliage of this plant is truly magnificent, a noble species, with large vel- 

 vety green leaves and broad silver veins. $2.00 each. 



*ANTHURIUM SCHERZERIANUM. 



One of the most striking and beautiful dwarf-flowering stove plant of recent 

 introduction, producing beautiful brilliant scarlet flowers, each of which remains 

 from two to three months in bloom. This charming and novel plant is easy of 

 culture, and a most abundant bloomer. $2 each. 



IMATOPHYLLUM MINIATUM. 



A very excellent evergreen, warm greenhouse or cool stove plant, interme- 

 diate between Chvia and Vallota or Amxiryllis in style of growth, with dark 

 green leaves, and large corymbs of erect, large, clear rich salmon or light flame 

 colored cup-like blossoms. $1 each.
