NICOTIANA MACROPHYIiLA.-Ked-floweied Nicotiana.-On<j 



of the handsomest Nicotianas ever introduced, growing from 3 to 4 feet high, 

 very compact, and a profuse bloomer. Flowers are in color a rich cardinal red, 

 from 2 to 2!i inches in length, and borne in large numbers on stiff stems, stand- 

 ing well above the foliage, producing a fine effect. I do not think any annual 

 can surpass this beautiful Nicotiana, in habit of growth, or brilliancy of its 

 rich and glowing cardinal flowers. Packet, 10 cents. 





NICOTIANA.— Decurrens.— This handsome new Nicotiana is of dwarl 

 form, branching freely from the ground, giving a great number of flowering 

 branches, thus making it a profuse bloomer. The flowers are large with long 

 tubes, pure white, and deliciously fragrant, opening before sundown and closing 

 very late the following morning to re-open again'towards evening. For early 

 flowering seed should be started in the house, although if sown in open ground 

 the first of May will flower in July. Packet, 10 cents.
