 DWARF ALLAMANDA. 



ALLAMANDA WILLIAnSIF. 



This handsome variety is entirely distinct from all others, being quite dwarf and in no way resembling a climber, but forming 

 a compact bush with trusses of bloom at every point, and having from two to four expanded blooms on each extremity at the same 

 time and buds innumerable. It continues flowering the whole summer, and, with proper management, in the winter also. The 

 flowers are from 3j to 4^ inches in diameter, of a very rich yet delicate tint of yellow, and are deliciously scented. 



Good young plants ready about July 1st, $1.50 each. 



HARDY GOLDEN MARGUERITE. 



{Anthemis Tinctoria.) 



This is not a new plant, but is such a perfect gem among the hardy perennial plants as to mahe it worthy of more than passing 

 notice. It begins to bloom early in June, and continues without interruption until November, standing wet or dry, hot or cold 

 weather perfectly. The flowers are 1|^ to 2 inches in diameter ; of a pure lemon yellow color, and borne on long stems ; and will 

 last a week after cutting. It is perfectly hardy, and will succeed in any position.

THE TRICOLOR CUPHEA. 



(Cuphea Llavae.) 



This interesting flowering plant belongs to the same family as 

 the well-known Lady's Cigar Plant. The flowers are tubular 

 in shape, about two inches long, and combine three distinct 

 colors in each flower — scarlet, white and blue. It grows into 

 a bushy specimen about 15 inches high, and makes an elegant 

 plant when potted or in the open ground, being in bloom con- 

 tinually when given proper care. 



15 cts. each ; $1.50 per dozen. 



New Double White Daisy, 



SNOW CREST. 



A most distinct variety and an improvement on all existing 

 sorts. Its habit of growth and size of flowers, in comparison 

 with older varieties, is gigantic. The flowers, which are borne 

 on stout, stiff stems from 6 to 10 inches long, are of the purest 

 white and full to the centre. When fully developed they rise 

 to a conical or sugar-loaf form, and well-grown specimens 

 will cover a silver dollar. 



It makes an admirable hardy garden plant or may be forced 

 for cut flowers under the same treatment as violets.
