NOVELTIES IN PLANTS. 



Vase of Carnation Della Fox. 



NEW CARNATIONS. 



Della Fox. A new variety of great merit, being on the style 

 of the popular Daybreak, but darker in color, with stems 24 

 inches long; one of the strongest growing and freest flowering 

 varieties in cultivation. 



Annie H. Lonsdale. This variety has the same general 

 characteristics as Delia Fox, but is of a pure white color; 

 very fine. 



Armazindy. Color is pure white, very lightly penciled 

 with scarlet; can almost be-used as a white ; the stem is very 

 stiff and quite slender, nearly 3 feet high. The flower is large 

 and never bursts. 



Abundance. A unique pink Carnation. We do not be- 

 lieve that any other Carnation extant will produce as many 

 blooms; it is continuous throughout the year, with a profusion 

 to each plant ; it is a dwarf, slender grower, stems averaging 

 about 12 inches. Color salmon pink, approaching red. 



Jubilee. The red Carnation for which everybody has 

 been looking. Color intense scarlet, of the richest shade. 

 One of the largest flowers among reds. Stems slender, but 

 very stiff; averages 18 inches in height. Calyx very strong, 

 never bursts ; flower quite full and well built. A persistent 

 bloomer, and very free. 



Triumpll. Will not take rust, though surrounded by it. Color 

 is a pure pink, of yellowish tinge, and never shows a touch 

 of purple; one of the very largest blooms that we know of; 

 stem perfectly erect, and from 2 to 3 feet long. Has a strong 

 calyx that never bursts ; is very prolific, and responds to very 

 ordinary culture; a strong, heavy grower; entirely free from 

 disease. 



Good young plants ready March 15th, 30 cts. each. The set 

 of 6 varieties for $1.50. 



Clematis fladame Edouard Andre. 



An entirely distinct and most novel variety and the nearest 

 approach to a bright red ever sent out. The plant is a strong, 

 vigorous grower, being a hybrid of the popular Tackmanni, 

 which it resembles in freedom of bloom, strong, vigorous 

 growth and shape and size of flower, but is of a distinct carmine 

 red color of a most pleasing shade, entirely different from all 

 other varieties. 75 cts. each. 



Lotus Pelyorensis. 



(Coral Gem.) 



This charming plant seems to be unknown in this country, 

 yet it is so well thought of abroad that a prominent horticul- 

 tural journal color-plated it. The Garden says of it: "Its 

 slender branching habit is most striking, and the silvery foliage 

 even more so. Without its flowers it might almost be described 

 as a silvery Asparagus ; but the bright coral-red flowers, 

 measuring 2 inches in length, are really beautiful, greatly re- 

 minding one of the rare and beautiful Cliamhus or Glory Pea, 

 so difficult to grow, while this gem is of the easiest possible 

 management. Its drooping habit also makes it useful for hang- 

 ing-baskets." It is nearly hardy. 20 cts. each, §1.50 per doz. 



Lotus Pelvorensis.
