NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES IN PLANTS. 



The variety of plants that will give a brilliant display of flowers or foliage during the fall 

 and winter, is comparatively limited. We have endeavored to expunge from our fall catalogue 

 this year all varieties that are not adapted for this purpose, so that customers can rely on get- 

 ting satisfactory results, if ordinary cultural care is exercised. 



AZALEAS. 



We have a large and fine stock of this beau- 

 tiful class of plants, which seems to be coming 

 into favor more each year. We have the double 

 and single flowered kinds in all shades — white, 

 pink, crimson, rose, &c. : 1st size, 50c. each; 

 84 50 per doz. ; 2d size,25c. each, 82 25perdoz. 



New Double White Azalea Daphne. 



The largest and finest Double White Azalea. 

 Unlike the well-known " Flag of Truce," it is a 

 vigorous grower : 1st size, 75c. each ; §7 50 

 per doz. ; 2d size, 50c. each; 8-4 50 per doz. 



iSOLVARDIA ALFKEU NEUJS'EK. ' 



NEW DOUBLE WHITE BOUYARDIA. 



Alfred Neuner. 



We now have on hand a fine stock of this 

 valuable novelty. It originated by a " sport," 

 from the well-known single white variety, 

 " Davidsoni," the flowers are pure white, and 

 double, resembling in appearance a small Tube- 

 rose. It is far more valuable for cut flower 

 work than the single variety, as its double 

 flowers last much longer after being cut. 50 

 cents each ; 84 50 per dozen. 

 BOUVARDIA ELEGANS. Single red. 



DAVIDSONI. " white. 



HUMB r J)TI " white 

 Price 30c. each; 83 j0 per dozen. 



BEGONIA RUBRA.* 



Is one of the finest acquisitions to our winter 

 flowering plants ; the leaves are of the darkest 

 green, the color of the flowers scarlet rose, 

 glossy and wax-like. This peculiarity is so 

 marked, that when plants are placed singly in 

 a room the glossy appearance of the leaves and 

 flowers gives the impression that they are arti- 

 ficial rather than natural; 25c. each; 82 25 per 

 dozen. We also have eight other varieties of 

 Begonias, all of which are valued for winter 

 flowers; 20c. each; $2 00 per dozen. 



CYCLAMEN PERSICUM. 



Among winter-flowering 

 plants there is none more 

 beautiful than this. The 

 stock we offer are not dry 

 bulbs, but fine plants in 

 growing condition. Large 

 flowers and brilliant col- 

 ors. White, dark purple, 

 Ted and pink. [See out.) 

 1st size, 50c. each ; 84 50 

 per dozen; 2d size, 25c. 

 each; $2 25 per dozen. 



CHRYSANTHEMUM 



" Paris Daisy." 



This is the "Marguerite" 

 of the Paris markets, 

 the flowers of which are 

 now so fashionable dur- 

 ing the winter. Flowers 

 much resemble the com- 

 mon field Daisy — a white 

 ray of petals with a yel- 

 low disc. 



30c. each ; 83 00 per 

 dozen. 



GOLDEN " PARIS DAISY." 

 Etoile D'Or. 



Similar to the preceding in all respects, ex- 

 cepting the color, which is clear golden yellow 

 — both petals and disc. 30c. each; 83 00 per 

 dozen. 



FRUTESCENS.
