 stock. The plant is of luxurious, robust growth. Attains in 

 the open ground a height of three feet, and produces only a 

 single spike, about one foot high. Closely covered with 

 enormous flowers, faultlessly shaped and of the purest white

 slighly hairy ; the graceful flower spikes furnish a splendid 

 material for bouquets. Pkt. 25e. 



Marguerite Carnation. ( Pure white.) This valuable 

 race will produce self colors fairly true from seed. We now 

 offer a pure white flowering variety, of which 75 per cent, 

 accurately represent the the type. 



COMET ASTER. (Pure White.) 



Without doubt the grandest variety o^ 

 Aster yet introduced. The flowers- 

 which closely resembles a pure white, 

 large flowered Japanese Chrysanthe- 

 mum, is larger and much more double 

 than that o£ any other color ; the petals 

 being much longer, and more twisted. 

 Each petal, moreover, is ribbed, giving 

 thus to the flower a peculiarly elegant 

 appearance. The color is of the purest 

 possible glossy, satiny white. Thisnev,- 

 Aster is undoubtedly the most beautiful 

 variety in existence, and cannot be too 

 highly recommended for cutting or ex- 

 hibition purposes, as it is sure to surpass 

 .any other variety. Per pkt. 25c. 



Belli Perenis Maxima. This new class 

 of daisies produces beautiful and dense- 

 ly imbricated flowers of an unusual

 eter, and varying in different red tints.

 ous in growth as the green leaved 

 species ; well suited for covering fences, 

 arbors, etc. Pkt. 25c.

 and-one-half inches in diameter. Highly decorative pot
