MIGNONETTE, Golden Queen.— (Carter's.) " A remarkably distinct yellow flow- 

 ered variety was recorded as Golden Queen. The Floral Committee when 

 recently visiting Chiswick, signified their appreciation of this variety by award- 

 ing a First Class Certificate to it ; and this honor it well deserves, for without 

 doubt it is one of the most distinct Mignonettes in culture. The habit is dwarf, 



sturdy and compact, with flowers closelv set to form a good head." 15 



New Hybrid Spiral.— (Miles'.) A variety of robust growth and long elegant 



spikes. 10

 Annual, possessing all the delicate tints and shades of color peculiar to the

 tinuous bloomer, nearly or quite hardy 20 



TUBEROUS Rooted Begonias. These novel and beautiful varieties will be found 

 admirably adapted for the summer and autumn decoration of the garden, for 

 they produce in the utmost profusion magnificent flowers of very large size, and 

 great variety in color. The tubers rest during the winter months, similar to 

 Gloxinias, and can be easily restarted into growth in the spring. Their 

 profuse flowering quality, and the charming variety of color of their blossoms, 

 renders them extremely showy and effective. Saved from our rich collection. 25

with bright orange, very desirable ., 10 



CARTERS' New Clarkia, a Mrs. Lang-try." A novel and exceedingly beautiful

 of brilliant carmine crimson. It is remarkably free-flowering, of dwarf com- 

 pact habit 25

 fusion 10
