Romneya Coulter i. (E. G. Henderson, London.) 
This very rare and interesting plant was first announced as a beautiful species 
of annual duration. Having now reared several vigorous plants, we may remind 
amateur cultivators that its firm and robust growth affords sure evidence of its 
being at least of biennial duration, if not perennial. As such, it will require 
pot culture for the first season with protection in a pit. Being new to gardens, 
its relative hardiness has not been tested, but as a Californian plant its firm 
growth affords favorable evidence that it will be found equal to many other 
flowers from the same climate. A single plant is stated to produce from 60 to 
80 flowers, and the dried flowers received by us from the collectors measured 6 
inches in width without being spread open. Its constitutional vigor implies a 
stately branched habit, whilst its large and exquisitely fragrant salver-shaped 
white flowers promise to add a noble acquisition to the flower garden. Per 
packet 25 cts. 
Amaranthus Henderi. 
This strain of Amaranthus differs from all others ever sent out ; being a cross 
between Amaranthus Elegantissimus, A. Tricolor and A. Salicifolius, it has 
produced a range of colors never before seen in any class of plants. From its 
graceful habit and brilliant colors it produces a striking effect. It has been 
greatly admired, especially for table decoration, having a transparency which 
show their various colors distinctly when held against the light. When young, 
the colors of the leaves are brown madder and bronze ; as they grow larger each 
plant assumes its distinctive colors. The leaves vary in length to twelve inches, 
and gracefully bending. Per packet 50 cts. 
Aquilegia Chrysantha. 
This is unquestionably one of the finest Perennials. Its large golden yellow 
long spurred flowers are produced in great abundance, from densely tufted 
plants which maintain a long succession of blooms. It is a native of the Rocky 
Mountains. Per packet 20 cts. 
Canna Muscefolia Sanguinea, 
A highly ornamental variety, having broad and stately Muse-like leaves, 
prominently ribbed or nerved, and of a rich bronze or chocolate and crimson 
tint. As portable single specimens for temporary designs, it forms a very beau- 
tiful and telling effect in contrast with the massive groups of miscellaneous 
plants in the same order. Per packet 50 cts*
