DUEER'S EVERBI^OOMING HARDY GARDEN PINKS. 



While the colored plaie opposite gives a fair idea of the form and color of these beautiful Hardy Pinks, it has lost in the course 

 of reproduction considerable of the "snap" and " fire" of the originals. 



All are our own introductions, and are remarkable for their free and continuous blooming, beginning the latter part of May, 

 and continuing without interruption until late in the fall. Added to their bright colors is the entrancing, spicy odor, which renders 

 them doubly valuable for cutting, while for edging or interspersing in the mixed hardy border they are indispensable. 



Superba. Soft pink, with maroon centre. 

 White Reserve. A nicely fringed white. 



Comet. Bright rosy-crimson. 



Delicata. A soft delicate rose, finely fringed. 



Sparkler. Deep rose-pink, with carmine shadings. 



Good young plants that will flower freely this season, 25 cts. each; $2. 00 per doz. Set of 5 for $1.00.

Diaiitlius Seiiiperfloreiiss, Napoleon III. 



This charming hardy Pink is by no means new. We have been growing it for many 

 years, but until now have been unable to produce it in sufficient quantity to enable us to 

 offer it in a general way. This sea'ion our propagations look so promising that we feel 

 certain of being able to supply all demands. The plant is of sturdy, compact growth, 

 rarely exceeding 10 inches in height, and from early in summer until very late in fall it 

 is a mass of brilliant blood-crimson flowers, with a most delicious clove fragrance. A 

 plant that always attracts attention and which is admired by everyone. Ready in April.

DRACAENA KEWENSIS. 



A new and distinct species which has been introduced from New Caledonia, and which 

 is claimed by the introducers to be ahead of all others in hardiness, it being classed with 

 the Aspidistra as a decorative plant. 



The persistent, leathery, lanceolate leaves are about 15 inches long by '2i to 3 inches 

 broad, of a fresh, glossy pea-green color when young, changing to olive-green as they 

 age; the leaf stalks are red, and this, together with the dark and light green of the old 

 and young leaves, gives the plant a pleasing and distinct appearance. Strong plants,
