AZALEA INDICA. 



For Easter Forcing;. J- 



We offer a very fine lot of Azaleas, comprising the most dis- 

 tinct and best varieties in cultivation, embracing all shades of 

 crimson, white, pink and rose color. They are shapely specimens, 

 well " headed," double and single flowered, and will make 

 splendid plants for Easter decoration. It is almost impossible to 

 ship Azaleas when in bloom and have them arrive m good condi- 

 tion, hence the necessity of procuring them in advance before the 

 buds open. Order early.

Striped Carina, J* & J> £> 



GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT. 



An entirely new and distinct variety ; instead of being mottled 

 or spotted, it is striped. The variations in the striping is re- 

 markable in the highest degree. In some petals the coloring 

 matter runs in even bands of red and yellow, others on the same 

 stem will be all red, some flowers will be entirely red, and even 

 some spikes will have only a small proportion of yellow coloring 

 while the others on the same plant will show remarkable variega- 

 tion. (See cut.) Price, $3.00 per doz. ; S20.00 per 100. 



New Lilliputian Canna, 



LITTLE GEM. # 



A remarkable variety, of which we hold the entire stock. It 

 makes a compact little clump of handsome green leaves sur- 

 mounted by a wealth of brilliant orange scarlet flowers, each petal 

 lightly edged with brilliant yellow. The sheath and standard are 

 also a brilliant yellow, and the base of the lower petal is blazed 

 with the same color up to the pjint where it recurves. 



The growth is its distinctive feature. The extreme height 

 from ground to tip rarely exceeds two feet, so that its value for 

 edging, for centres of low beds, for planting in herbaceous 

 borders or for pot culture is almost beyond computation. Price, 

 40c. each; $4.00 per doz.

 generally supposed that lhese could not be grown in 

 the open air with success, but extensive plantings of 

 them in various section cf the country have demon-
