THE LOVETT COMPANY. 11 

 ''For grouping or massing it will be splendid, its crimson color being just what is wanted, 

 while for a wall or building it will be grand, not only on account of its rich color, but for 

 its freedom of growth and continuous blooming qualities. The flowers, resembling a well- 

 grown Pelargonium, have a charming effect, and will be largely used for table decorations. 

 It should also make a grand hedge plant." — The Garden.

GRAND NEW TIGRIDIAS. 



Startling improvements have of late been 

 made in that favorite summer bulb, the Tigridia. 

 The range of color has been greatly extended and 

 the habit and size of flower much improved. 

 After an exhaustive trial we have selected Tigri- 

 DiAS Grandiflora, Violacea and Rosea as the 

 handsomest and most vigorous of the novelties 

 recently issued. They are most beautiful flowers 

 of the largest size, often exceeding six inches in 

 diameter. The color of Violacea is a most lovely 

 violet or rather lilac-purple, with unique shell-like 

 markings of white and dark maroon in the sculpt- 

 ured interior. Rosea is of a delicate rose color, 

 with corresponding markings of yellow and brown 

 within the cup. These splendid novelties are very 

 robust in growth, Violacea being the stronger of 

 the two. They succeed in any fairly rich soil, 

 producing their c^xquisite flowers in constant 

 succession for many weeks. A small group of these 

 new shell-flowers will rarely be without a fine 

 show of bloom during the entire summxcr, 



RICINUS ZANZIBARENSIS. 



The finest and most stately Castor 

 Bean known. Introduced to cultivation 

 for the first time last year. Grand and 

 beautiful beyond comparison with the older 

 varieties of Ricinus; entirely new and 

 distinct in every particular. The plants 

 attain great dimensions, presenting a 

 splendid aspect with their gigantic leaves, 

 and robust, compact habit. The different 

 varieties included in our mixture have light 

 and dark green leaves, and some of coppery 

 bronze, changing to dark green with reddish 

 leaves. These varieties never grow up tall 

 and leggy but retain the leaves near the 

 ground in a neat pyramidal shape, quite 

 similar to a giant Aralia Sieboldi. As 

 single specimens or groups on the lawn 

 they are very effective. The seeds are 

 very large, carious, and attractive. Packet, 

 15c; 2 for 25c.
