of green, but in the fall it assumes the most gorgeous tints of scarlet, 
crimson and orange so dazzling as to be seen at a great distance.

plants, 35 cts. each, fo.50 per doz., by express, at purchaser's expense.

purple and are produced in such masses as to form a cloud of bloom. 
Madame Baron-Veillard. Of recent introduction and quite like 
its parent, the popular Jackmanni, in habit and make-up, except that 
its flowers are a lively satiny lavender-pink ; entirely distinct from any 
other variety and charming in effect. 
Madame Edonard Andre. Of the Jackmanni type and the nearest

large, usually six-petaled, of a distinct, pleasing shade of carmine, and 
are produced in bewildering profusion.

great masses of panicles or clusters, so profuse as to fairly cover the
