 ■winter flowering or summer bedding. Of compact, neat

 in diameter, and produced so freely that a well-grown 

 s})ecimen appears to be quite a ball of flowers.

 the summer heat and is a complete mass of flowers

 very effective when used in connection with the bright 

 colored Allernantheras.

LANTANAS. 



One of the best summer-flowering plants for our climate : 

 equally fine in dry or wet weather, sun or shade. There 

 are few bedding i)lants that bloom more continuously or 

 afford a greater variety of color. When grown with a 

 single stem and trained as standards, with fine bushy tops 

 and straight stem, they present an effect that is surpassed 

 by few plants.

 an early winter-flowering plant it is simply indispensable ; 

 its brilliant orange flowers are produced so profusely as to 

 completely cover the plant, making it look like a golden

 should bring it again into notice.
