CRIMSON EOUNXAIN GRASS (Penmsetum Macrophyllum Atrosangnineum). 



This new plant from New Guinea is a most valu.ible addition not only to our list of ornamental grasses, but to bedding plants. 

 Its habit of growth is strong and vigorous, yet most elegant and graceful ; the foliage, which is gracefully recurved, is of a 

 pleasing dark metallic, coppery-bronze, which far surpasses in richness the 

 finest of the bronze-leaved Cannas — a veritable Crimson Fountain. When 

 grown as a specimen in the border or on the lawn, it attains a height of 

 about 4 feet, the ends of the shoots being terminated by tawny crimson 

 plumes 10 to 12 inches long. By an occasional cutting hack the plants 

 can be kept if desired at a height of 2 to 3 feet. Interspersed with other 

 ornamental grasses, this new Pennisetum will add a life and color hitherto 

 unobtainable, while as a border to a bed of Cannas or Caladium Esculentum 

 it slaniis in a class by itself The plants, when sent out in early spring, 

 do not show their rich coloring, which, however, quickly develops when 

 planted in the open bed or border. Ready April loth. 15 cts. each; 

 $1.50 per doz.; {ilO.OO per 100. , 



RETINISPORA SANDERI. 



A new blue conifer, which is not only a valuable addition to our list of 

 hardy plants, but which will prove indispensable in any planting of hardy 

 evergreens, either in massing or in single specimens. In habit it is quite 

 distinct, its growth being dwarf, dense and cushion-like, forming beautiful 

 semi-giobul.ir specimens of a most pleasing and attractive blue color. 

 Nice,%hapely plants, 10 to 12 inches high, $1.00 each ; §10 00 per doz. 



NE^V SCARLET SAGE BALL OE FIRE. 



A great improvement on existing sorts, being more compact, earlier and 

 freer-flowering. Each jilant forms, when in flower, a bushy specimen 20 to 

 24 inches high, and is so completely hidden by the masses of spikes of scarlet 

 bloom as to appear like a b.iU of fire. Ready April 15th. 15 cts. each ; 

 11.50 per doz. 



NEW^ MYRXLE-LEAVED SMILAX. 



A new and distinct variety, which is much more graceful than the popu- 

 lar type, not only on account of its smaller, narrower foliage, but the ten- 

 drils are less stiff, making it the most airy and graceful green for decorating. 

 30 cts. each; S.3,00 per <ioz.
