/. T. LOVETT, LITTLE SILVER, N. J. 



NEW SHASTA DAISIES- 



BOLTONIA LATISQUAMi^EA NANA. 



LovETT's Dwarf Boltonia. 



A new form and a great acquisition. It is a 

 variety of B. Latisquancea and tlie flowers are iden- 

 tical with tlie species, the petals being of the same 

 tender shell pink with bright yellovA- centres, and 

 are fully as large. It, however, flowers with even 

 greater freedom— completely enveloping the plant 

 with bloom— but its great merit lies in its habit; 

 forming as it does a stocky, sturdy, dense plant, 

 fifteen to eighteen inches high, instead of the tall, 

 sprawling, straggling plant of its parent, which is 

 so often beaten to the ground by wind and rain 

 unless given support. Lovett's Dwarf originated at 

 the Monmouth Nursery, and is such a charming 

 plant in every way it elicits universal admiration. 

 From 2% in. nots, each 15c; dozen. $1.50; Field 

 plants, each, 25c; dozen, $2.50. 



CONVALLARIA MAJALIS MIELLEZA. 



Miellez's Revelation Lily of the Valley. Until one 

 has grown this plant 

 they cannot readily 

 comprehend its value. 

 It is similar in make 

 up to the well known 

 Lily-of-the-Valley but 

 the flower clusters 

 and the flowers them- 

 selves are much larg- 

 er, very sweetly 

 scented, and with 

 longer stems. Furth- 

 er than this, it suc- 

 ceeds perfectly in full 

 exposure to the sun 

 and is so vigorous it needs no cuddling to succeed 

 Avith it. Was awarded first class certificate by the 

 Massachusetts Horticultureal Society. Each, 15c; 

 doz. $1.50. 



Alaska Daisy. 



Alaska. A very great improvement upon the popu- 

 lar Shasta Daisy; being larger, (blooms measure 4% 

 to 5 inches across) with numerous long graceful 

 petals of pure shining white. It is very free flower- 

 ing and much hardier than the parent. (See cut). 



California. Similar to Alaska in size and habit 

 with buds and opening flowers a pleasing lemon yel- 

 low and with a double row of petals. The color 

 changes to pure Avhite when a day or two old. 

 Strong clumps, each' 15c; doz. $1.50. 



HIBISCUS MILITARIS. 



Halbkrt-lkaved Rose Mallow. 

 A native of the greatest value. Exceedingly re- 

 fined, both in flow- 

 er and foliage, 

 wonderfully fre« 

 flowering and very 

 decorative. It 

 forms a spreading 

 bush, four to six 

 0Klk '/ / ^| feet high, densely 



-dp- clothed with uni- 



quely lobed soft 

 light green leaves, 

 and thickly stud 

 ded with exquisite- 

 ly formed flowers, 

 three to five inches 

 in diameter, of 

 ivory white or pale 

 blush deepening to 

 the center. Each 

 flower has a large 

 reddish purple or 

 wine colored cen- 

 ter, and the petals 

 are veined with 

 pearly white. Its 

 pods are also beau- 

 tiful, being curi- 

 ously and grotes- 

 modeled— the whole plant being intensely
