AMARYLLIS. From my unrivaled collection. Saved from the finest 

 named flowers, which'have been carefully hybridized. Seed should be 

 sown as soon as gathered. Ready May 1st $0 50 



BELLIS perennis fl. pleno " Longfellow." A new variety, differing 

 greatly from all existing sorts, and resembling somewhat the well known 

 Daisy " Prince of Wales." It surpasses the latter by producing much lar- 

 ger and very double flowers of a lovely dark rose color, which are borne 

 on unusually long and stout flower stems, being therefore a great acquisi- 

 tion for cut flowers ; nearly constant from seed 25 



ACROCLINIUM Roseum, New Double. A distinct double form of this 

 pretty Annual, possessing all the delicate tints and shades of color pecu- 

 liar to the single variety 25 



AQUILEGIA Chrysantha. This is unquestionably one of the finest Pe- 

 rennials. Its large, golden yellow, long-spurred flowers are produced in 

 great abundance from densely-tufted plants which maintain a long suc- 

 cession of bloom 05 



Chrysantha Coerulea. A seedling from the above, raised in our nur- 

 sery. A counterpart of the last, with flowers of a beautiful blue 10 



Wittmaniana. This is a remarkably fine new species, with very large 

 purplish-blue flowers. The finest of all Aquilegias 10 



ANASACANTHUS Wrightii. A new plant which I have received from 

 Texas. A shrub that attains a height of four or five feet, bushy, flowers 

 orange, a continuous bloomer, nearly or quite hardy 20 



ABUTILON. Saved from my fine collection of new flowers 20 



BEGONIA, Tuberous-rooted. These novel and beautiful varieties will 

 be found admirably adapted for the summer and autumn decoration of 

 the garden, for they produce in the utmost profusion magnificent flowers 

 of very large size, and great variety in color. The tubers rest during the 

 winter months, similar to Gladiolus, and can be easily re-started into 

 growth in the spring. Their profuse flowering quality, and the charming 

 variety of color of their blossoms, render them extremely showy and ef- 

 fective. Saved from our rich collection 25 



New Hybrid Tuberous, blooming during fall and winter. Fine mixed 25 



CHRYSANTHEMUM, "Paris Daisy or Marguerite." Etoile dor, a 



fine yellow 10 



White varieties, mixed 10 



CLEMATIS, Jackmanii (Strain.) The seed offered was saved with care 

 from our magnificent collection of these lovely climbers. Should be sown 

 when ripe in fall; if kept till spring it frequently will not vegetate until 

 the following autumn or spring 25 



CALENDULA Meteor. The flowers of this new variety are large, yellow, 



striped with bright orauge ; very desirable 10 



Prince of Orange. A very pretty novelty 10 



CARTERS' New Clarkia, "Mrs. Langtry." A novel and exceedingly 

 beautiful form of Clarkia, The petals have an even edge (i. e., are wholly 

 petaled), the color of the flower being purest white, with an evenly de- 

 fined disc or center of brilliant carmine crimson 10 



CANDYTUFT, Dobbies' White Spiral. Very remarkable for its vigor- 

 ous growth and large pure white bloom; forming a very compact spike like 

 that of the old White Rocket, measuring from 4 to 6 inches in length and 

 2 inches in diameter 10 



COLEUS. This has been saved with care from our rich collection, which 



embraces all the fine new American varieties, as well as European 10
