-BEAUTY OF GLAZENWOOD — New Striped Rose, with a Colored Plate. 



" A Hybrid Tea, of a most distinct and novel kind, unlike any other variety 

 already known, and may possibly prove to be an entirely new genus. The 

 ground tint is a lovely golden yellow, darker than, but after the style of, 

 Madame Falcot, each petal being distinctly striped, and flaked with a bright 

 carmine, as often seen in the coloration of some Tulips, the buds, before ex- 

 panding, being boldly and beautifully marked with crimson. The foliage is 

 grand, of a beautifully light satiny-green, the serrated edges being marked 

 with red. The odor is delicately sweet, as in the generality of Tea Eoses ; the 

 flower is of good shape and build, with plenty of petal ; the flower-buds 

 pointed, and very handsome. It is impossible to convey by description the 

 marking and beauty of this charming Rose ; but it is, without doubt, the most 

 striking novelty introduced for years. " Price, SI each. Strong, SI. 50. 



U A Rose of golden yellov:, striped and flaked v:ith scarlet or vermilion, sound* 

 like a dream or a fairy tale ; it is, nevertheless, a reality "

*POIXSETTIA PULCHERRIMA PLENISSIMA.— New Double Poinscitia. 



This magnificent plant is remarkable for the distinct character of its floral 

 bracts, the size of the heads in which they are produced, and their marvellous 

 brilliancy of color. Instead of the bracts being borne in a single head and 

 spreading out as in the old form, in this new double kind they are gathered 

 into clusters, which fill up the centre, so that the whole inflorescence is full 

 and rosette-like, and of a most vivid and brilliant scarlet color It is strik- 

 ingly effective and gorgeously beautiful. Price, S2 each. 



The Journal of Horticulture of December 16th, 1875, announcing the flower- 

 ing of the plant in Europe for the first time, remarks — :l The examples which 

 we have seen of this plant are remarkable alike for the size of the heads, their 

 form, the distinct character of the bracts, and their marvellous brilliancy of 

 color. In the old type the plant is surmounted by a single cluster of small yel- 

 low flowers, from the base of which the bracts radiate in a horizontal man- 

 ner. In the new form, the central or primary cyme, which is surrounded by 

 splendid bracts, is, as it were, the root of other flowers, which spring from it 

 on short simple stems, each surmounted by flowers and bracts : and these 

 secondary heads become further sub-divided, and forming also perfect flowers 

 and bracts, the head, in fact, culminating in a multiplicity of parts, each per- 

 fect and of extraordinary brilliancy. 



"The head, which we particularly noted, was 16 inches in diameter, and 

 from the base to the apex of the cone of drooping bracts was 11 inches in 

 depth. The bracts in this head were fifty in number, arranged in seven sepa- 

 rate cymes which had sprung from the primary base. The color is super-
