NOVELTIES IN FEOWEISEEBS 
POLYANTHUS PRIMROSE, ‘‘ROYAL LONDON PARKS.” 
Polyanthus Primrose, ‘“‘ Royal London Parks.” One of 
the most delightful sights is a bed of these charming 
many-colored Primroses. We would direct particular 
attention to the new variety shown above, which is re- 
markable for the brilliancy and diversity in color of its 
flowers, and we predict that ina short space of time 
this beautiful novelty will find a place in almost every 
flower garden. Per pkt., 35 cts. 
Poppy, ‘White Swan.” This plant grows only from 
1% to 2 feet high, forming a dense, richly-branching 
bush, and above the same are elevated on strong slen- 
der stems the very large 7 
flowers. The flower is of = We 
fabulous size, very double, i; 
lacimated, beautifully => ¢ 
shaped, and of the purest . { 
possible white. The time 
of blooming is of a much 
longer duration than that 
of other Poppies. The lux- 
uriant green foliage and 
the large pure white flow- 
ers of this novelty make 
it particularly valuable for 
large groups. Per pkt., 
20 cts. 
Streptocarpus, New Hy- 
brids. (Cape Primroses.) 
These new hybrids are re- 
markable for their abun- 
dance of bloom and the 
continuous succession in 
which the flowers are pro- 
duced for about four 
months in the summer and 
early autumn, and also for 
the long time the individ- 
ual flowers last in perfec- 
tion. The plant is a green- 
house perennial, of dwarf, 
\e 13 
POPPY, ‘‘ WHITE SWAN.” 
about.9 inches high, with rather long narrow-arched 
and recurved stemless leaves; whilst the flowers, which 
are very graceful in form, are trumpet-shaped, and 
measure about 13/4 inches in length. The variation of 
colors in these new hybrids is very striking, scarcely 
two plants being exactly the same. In this new class 
the colors range from pure white, through pale laven- 
der, lilac blue, light mauve, purple, violet, bright rose 
and red, to rich rosy purple, with all the intermediate 
tints; and in all the flowers, the throat and three lower 
segments are more or less marked or splashed with 
long blotches or spots of various shades of purple, gen- 
erally shaded and relieved 
with white, which greatly 
enhances the effect and 
affords a pleasing contrast of 
color. The culture of Strep- 
tocarpus is one of the easiest 
possible. If seed is sown 
endof January and February 
the plants come into bloom 
the following June and July, 
and continue flowering freely 
until the end of September 
and October. Per pkt., 6) cts. 
Petunia, ‘‘ Clematis-Flow- 
ered.” Another novelty in 
the way of Petunias is the 
“‘Clematis-flowered” group, 
a variety which gives a cap- 
ital imitation of the flowers 
of Clematis Jackmanni set 
upon neat-habited Petunia 
plants. The purple blue 
color of these Petunias is 
singularly pure and rich, 
while we have inthe group 
several equally acceptable 
colors, all surprisingly 
fresh and pleasing. Per 
neat habit, growing STREPTOCARPUS, NEW HYBRIDS. pkt., 50 cts.
