34 DEEER'S GARDEN CALENDAR. 



The following seedlings raised Iby me, are offered with confidence to the 

 notice of the Trade and Amateurs, as a great improvement on the best 

 imported varieties. In their brilliancy of color, large size of truss, 

 prominent centres and eyes, they cannot be surpassed. Their chief 

 merit, however, consists in their remarkably vigorous habit of growth, 

 and prefuse blooming qualities, fully maintained during the excessive 

 heat and drought of last Summer, which, it is well known, the leading 

 foreign varieties, such as the "Lady Palmerston," "Leviathan," "Jean 

 Bard," " Celestial," &c., could not withstand. Cutting plants, set out 

 during the heat and drought of August, still attained a remarkable 

 growth and profusion of bloom, the admiration of all who visited my 

 Nursery, or the Fair grounds in September last, where they received 

 the highest award.
