 mental plant, useful for many purposes to which 

 its size may commend it. Awarded Bronze Medal

Alphonse Bouvier.— The finest variety of 

 its color known and unsurpassed for bedding out. 

 A luxuriant grower, reaching on rich soil a height 

 of eight feet, it throws up almost unceasingly 

 strong flower stems bearing immense trusses of 

 bright crimson flowers of the very largest size. A 

 large plant in bloom sometimes has on it as many 

 as thirty or forty of these large clusters and noth- 

 ing can exceed their brilliancy. It begins to bloom 

 very early and is one continuous mass of crimson 

 the entire season. Trial and comparison have 

 proved conclusively that no other variety ap- 

 proaches it for grandeur and effectiveness when 

 bedded in masses. Awarded a Bronze Medal at 

 the World's Fair. 



Madame Crozy.— Immense trusses of flow- 

 ers in great profusion; bright scarlet with a dis- 

 tinct border of bright golden-yellow. The foliage 

 is broad and massive; deep rich green and exceed- 

 ingly ornamental. Although of dwarf habit, the 

 plant is of vigorous growth and always gives satis- 

 faction in this respect. It continues in bloom for a 

 long season and is wonderfully free-flowering. 



Paul Marquant,— A most distinct and 

 beautiful variety and an exceedingly free bloomer. 

 It has an abundance of very handsome, dark green 

 foliage and throws up flower stems freely. The 

 flower spikes are very large, and the individual 

 flowers larger than any other. The color is pecu- 

 liar to itself and may be described as bright sal- 

 mon-scarlet with a silvery lusture. Too much 

 praise can hardly be given it. Awarded Bronze 

 Medal at World's Fair.

 Dark maroon colored foliage with deep bronze 

 lustre; flowers large and of a rich, bright scarlet,
