Robert Christie. "Brilliant orange ; scarlet. This va- 

 riety is a particularly strong grower; throwing up tre- 

 mendous heads of blooms. It is also an exceptionally 

 free bloomer. Planted along side of Chicago, it showed 

 fully twice as much flower as that popular variety at 

 any time, which is well considered one of the very fin- 

 est varieties; but Robert Christie excels it in freedom 

 and profusion of bloom in a very marked degree. It is 

 entirely distinct from any other variety of its color, 

 and is one of the freest blooming varieties that has 

 ever been raised." Ea., 25c.

 vermilion and handsome bronze foliage; exceedingly 

 showy and effective. Ea., 25c.
