Wew Silver Leaf Star Fhiox. 
New Silver Leaf Star Phlox. 
It is often easy to trace variegated varieties back to some unhealthj' state of 
the plant, but this novelty grows with more than ordinary vigor, and the exceed- 
ingly pleasing coloring is fairly constant. The leaves are all edged with white, 
reminding one of Dractrna Sanderiana. The plants grow about 12 inches high 
and branch freely. The rose- and carmine-colored flowers are fringed, as well as 
crenulated, and form a delightful contrast tvith the beautifully variegated foliage. 
Pkt. 25 cts. 
New Giant Sensitive Plant. 
This remarkable variety, if started early in the house and-transplanted into the 
garden when all danger of frost has passed, will attain the height of 7 feet in one 
season. The leaves are just as sensitive as the ordinary- variety, closing and droop- 
ing when shaken or touched. The flowers are rose-colored, and are followed by 
brown, hair>' seed-pods. The stem and leaves are covered with a fine blue hue, 
making the plant recommendable not only for its interesting sensitive properties, but also for its beauty in general. Pkt. 15 cts. 
Arctotis grandis. 
A handsome new annual from South Africa succeeding well in our climate. It forms neat, many-branched bushes about 2 feet in 
height and breadth. The flowers, 1Y2 to 3 inches in diameter, are pure white, with a narrow yellow ring around the center, with which 
the light blue of the disk florets and their delicate white stamens make a very effective contrast. The under side of the petals is pale 
lilac. Of the easiest culture, blooming profusely from early summer until late in autumn. Pkt. 10 cts. 
New Early- Flowering Sweet Pea, 
Mont Blanc. 
An early-flowering pure white sort of European introduction. 
The flowers resemble Emily Henderson both in form and color, 
but bloom fully twelve days earlier. Sown under glass on Febru- 
ary 20, Mont Blanc produced its first flowers on ^Maj' i, and was in 
full bloom on May 10. It can therefore be highly recommended 
for forcing. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 25 cts. 
Giant Sweet Sultans. 
(CENTAUREA IMPERIALIS.) 
These new giant-flowered hybrids far surpass in size and beauty 
all other sweet-scented sorts, and are undoubtedly the finest kinds 
for cut-flower purposes. The plants are ver\- vigorous, grow about 
4 feet high, and are covered with enormous deliciously fragrant 
flowers, from early summer till autumn. They are of the easiest 
culture, flowering freely the same season from spring-sown seed. 
Finest mixed. Pkt. 10 cts.
