Lady Leonora Bramwell. This grand new variety is a 

 perfect marvel in the beauty and profusion of its flow- 

 ers, which measm-e six to eight inches across, are as 

 double as the most double rose, of the most tender sil- 

 very-rose imaginable in color, and delightfullj^ fra- 

 grant. The plant, too, is as remarkable as its flowers, 

 attaining a height of three to f om' feet, spreading, and 

 every branch producing at its end one of its mammoth 

 and exquisitelj- beautiful flower heads. The variety 

 was awarded a first-class certificate by the Royal Hor- 

 ticultural Society of England, and this distinction it 

 well merits. It is a revelation in Paeonies, the superla- 

 tive grandem' of which cannot be described. Every 

 true lover of beautiful flowers should secm-e at least a 

 plant of it at once. Ea., 50c. 



SAXIFRAGA. Rock 

 Tunica. 



A lively little plant 

 of spreading habit, 

 suitable for rockwork 

 or edging. The delicate 

 foliage is covered with 

 little, pale, rose-colored 

 flowers all summer. An 

 excellent plant for re- 

 tired situations. Its 

 modest and delightful 

 bloom endears it to all 

 lovers of this charm- 

 ing class of plants which 

 seem '-born to blush 

 unseen.'" Ea., 15c.; 3 for 

 30c; doz,, 81.5)5. 



Magnificent, hardy plants, con- 

 stantly growing in favor. Finely-cut, 

 luxuriant foliage and immense double 

 blooms of the most intense yet delicate 

 colors. The flowers are borne in the 

 greatest profusion. The light varie- 

 ties are most refined in shading and 

 are quite fragrant. Peonies should 

 be planted in rich soil in a well-drained 

 situation. The cultui'e consists in 

 keeping the gi'oimd clean and mellow 

 dm^ing the growing season and njulch- 

 ing the plants with old manure in the 

 fall which should be forked in the 

 ground before growth begins in the 

 spring. A collection of Paeonies is an 

 investment that will increase in beauty 

 and value for a hf etime.

 like foliage. The large, perfectly-formed aster-like 

 flowers are incessantly produced throughout the sum-
