THE NEW BANNER ALTHEA. 



The New Banner Althea, or Rose of 

 Sharon, originated here, and is probably the finest 



and most beautiful variety ever 

 introduced. The flowers are as 

 large as good-size Roses, and 

 very double ; the color is pale 

 rosy pink, elegantly striped with 

 rich crimson, as shown in the 

 engraving. It blooms 

 in July and August, 

 when every branch 

 is loaded and 

 crowded with 

 flowers , th e whole 

 tree appearing a 

 mass of brilliant 

 bloom. It is a 

 very handsome, 

 e r e c t-growing 

 little Tree or tall 

 Shrub ; very de- 

 sirable for door- 

 yard, lawn or 

 park planting; 

 hardy in the 

 Middle States. 

 Price, 40 cts.; 2 

 for 75 cts.; $4 

 per doz. 



THE 



Trifoliate 



ORANGE. 



This New Hardy Orange will de 

 light all who like beautiful and novel hardy plants; an 

 Orange Tree growing vigorously on the lawn, or in the 

 garden, blooming and fruiting in abundance, is certainly 

 a rare sight. The beautiful little trees are entirely hardy 

 in the open ground as far north as Boston. They are of 

 dwarf symmetrical growth, with glossy green trifoliate 

 leaves ; the lovely pure white orange blossoms are ele- 

 gantly perfumed, and borne in constant succession; the 

 fruit is small, bright red in color, and very curious. 



Small Plants, price 40 cts. each ; 2 for 75 cts.
