There are very few plants in which such wonderful 

 improvement has been made of recent years as in this. 

 The modern varieties are of such size and beauty of 

 bloom as to fairly overwhelm with astonishment and 

 delight those who are familiar only with the old-fash- 

 ioned sorts of our grandmothers' gardens. Instead of 

 tall naked stems with small tufts of meagre flowers at 

 their heads, for a little time in midsummer, we now 

 have varieties with dwarf, stocky, well furnished 

 stems, crowned with immense panicles of bloom of the 

 greatest brilliancy and purity of color, of all shades 

 from white to crimson and purple, produced in profu- 

 sion from J une until frost. The plants are of easy cul- 

 ture and require but a rich soil to give the grandest re- 

 sults. Our collection is composed of the best varieties 

 to be found, from which we offer the following : 



Amabilis. White marked with rosy lilac; compact. 



Ball of Fire. Fiery crimson; one of the best.
