LATISQUAMAEA NANA. Lovett's Dwarf Bol- 

 TOXIA — The flowers are identical w'ith the species, the 

 petals being of the same tender, shell pink with bright 

 yellow centers, and are fully as large. It, however, 

 flowers with even greater freedom — completely envelop- 

 ing the plant with bloom, but its great merit lies in it.; 

 habit, forming as it does a stocky, sturdy, dense plant, 

 15 to 18 inches high, instead of the tall, straggling plant 

 of its parent, which is so often beaten to the ground 

 by wind and rain unless given support. Lovett's Dwarf 

 originated at the ^lonmouth Nursery, and is such a 

 charming plant in every way it elicits universal admi- 

 ration. (See cut.) Strong plants, each, 15c; doz., $1.50;
