NEW HIBISCUS '^Crimson Eye." 



After many years of careful selection^ 

 this variety has assumed a typical form; and 

 can be relied upon to come true from seed 

 in every instance. It is an elegant plant of 

 rapid growth, stately habit, and striking in 

 appearance; is perfectly hardy, robust, with 

 large, light green leaves, having red stems; 

 and is an incessant and profuse bloomer for 

 six weeks to two months. 



The flowers are of immense size, often 

 exceeding six inches in diameter and are 

 produced in such abundance that a well de- 

 veloped plant will give several hundreds of 

 them in a season. The color is a pure, clear 

 ivory white with a large eye of rich velvety 

 crimson in the centre of each flower; forming 

 a contrast as effective as it is pleasing. 



It is of the easiest culture and will succeed 

 No. 673. Electro, 30c; postage, 10c. anywhere; the only objection we have heard 



made to it was by some regarding it as a trifle gross in habit. Its growth is so strong 

 and rapid and foliage so large and abundant that it is tropical in effect and should be used 

 accordingly. The plants bloom the first year from seed, germinate with the utmost free- 

 dom and the roots being thick and fleshy are easily handled in mail and express trade. 

 It is one of the good things to catalogue the coming season, as it takes well.

ELEANOR STRAWBERRY. 



The earliest large strawberry yet produced. There 

 is nothing earlier, and nothing so early except Crystal 

 City, which is so very small as to render it of little 

 value. In size it ranks with Sharpless, Gandy and other 

 large varieties, and retains its size well to the last pick- 

 ing. In color, form and firmness it resembles the Wil- 

 son, coloring evenly all over, with no white tips, but is 

 of excellent quality. The plant does one good to look 

 at, being large and of vigorous growth, with abundant 

 foliage and not a sign of rust or other disease about it. 

 It is exceeding productive and the past season bore a 

 very profitable crop of fruit under the most unfavorable 

 conditions, viz; extremely dry weather v\-hile the fruit 

 was lorming, followed by an excessive rainfall during 

 the first ten days of ripening. Its blossoms are perfect. No. 1375. Ekctro, i5c; postage, sc. 

 The signal merits of the Eleanor are earliness, productiveness and large size. It is 

 offered this year for the first and we control the entire stock. It is a good thing.
