THE LOVETT COMPANY. 



HEUCHERA SANGUINEA. 



Truly a floral gem and one of the most valuable 

 additions to the list of hardy flowering plants that 

 has appeared in a long time. The foliage, which is 

 evergreen, is beautifully cut and marbled and is 

 very abundant. The flowers are borne in large, 

 open, clean-stemmed panicles and are of the most 

 clear, bright, cheerful and charming scarlet im- 

 aginable. Although the flowers are small, yet they 

 are so numerous in each panicle and the panicles are 

 thrown up in such profusion as to produce a most 

 brilliant effect. Blooming as it does for a period of 

 several weeks, and as each plant frequently sends up 

 a dozen or more stems of its lovely flowers at a 

 time, some idea of its beauty and value can be 

 formed. 



In the American Florist report of last Spring's 

 Montreal Exhibition we find the following : 



"A plant of Heuchera sanguinea in a 7-inch pot, 

 with a hundred spikes of bloom, which was brought 

 in by Mr. George Robinson, attracted considerable 

 attention. Mr. R. says he dug it up in October 

 from the border, where it had been blooming all 

 summer, and it commenced to bloom in January, 

 and has been a mass of bloom ever since."

LYCHNIS FLOS CUCULI PLENIS 

 SIMA SEMPERFLORENS. 



Seed, pkt., 15c. ^ 



NEW HIBISCUS. 



Crimson Eye." 



A fearful name, indeed, yet a correct one, for it is 

 truly an everblooming, double form of the old hardy 

 Lychnis or true Ragged Robin. The flowers are pro- 

 duced in bewildering profusion, are very double, borne 

 upon long bushy spikes and are of an exquisite bright 

 tender rose in color. Splendid for cutting and one of 

 the easiest of all plants to force under glass or in the 

 house, blooming constantly from October until April. 

 It is one of the greatest additions to the list of hardy 

 perennials that has appeared for a long time, beginning 

 to bloom in early spring and continuing the entire sum- 

 mer. And it is so charming in both color and make up. 

 that everyone should have it and it shoidd be in every 

 collection. Ea., 20c; 3 for 50c; doz., $1.50. 



It is an elegant plant of stately habit and striking in 

 appearance; robust, with large light green leaves, hav- 

 ing red stems: and is an incessant and profuse bloomer 

 for two months. The flowers are of immense size, of- 

 ten exceeding six inches in diameter and are produced 

 in such abundance that a well developed plant will give 

 several hundreds of them in a season. The color is 

 a pure, clear ivory white, with a large eye of rich vel- 

 vety crimson in the centre of each flower, forming an 

 effective contrast. Its growth is so strong and rapid, 

 and foliage so large and full, that it is tropical in effect 

 and should be used accordingly. 1 yr., ea., 15c; 3 for 

 40c; doz., $1.25. 2 yrs., ea., 20c; 3 for 50c; doz., $1.75. 

 Extra strong, ea., 30c; 3 for 75c; doz., $2.50. Seed, 

 pkt., 10c; 3pkts. for 25c.
