£)reer's Improved fringed Rouble Petunia. 



No. 6282. Having given special al tention to the grow- 

 ing of Petunias for many years, we are in a position 

 to know what strains are the best. Proving as we 

 do, all the offerings of European growers, we are 

 enabled confidently to state that our offerings 

 cannot be surpassed for beauty of coloring and 

 form. The flowers are deeply fringed, laciniated 

 and frilled, and comprise all the novel forms that 

 have lately been introduced. 



Per pkt., 75 cts. 



Petunia, yellow Throat. 



No. 6285. These Petunias form a class of rare? 

 beauty, and come true from seed. The flowers are 

 very large and of perfect form, with a broad deep 

 yellow throat, veined very-^much like the Salpig- 

 lossis. Per pkt., 50 cts. 



Phlox Drummondi Coccinea FL 

 Semi Pleno. 



No. 6353. The plants grow more compact than the 

 single flowered, while the trusses and the individual 

 flowers are equal in size to those of the dwarf com- 

 pact varieties. The doubleness of the flowers is 

 formed by an addition of 4 to 6 petals in the 

 middle or tube of the flower, which, according to- 

 the weather, is sometimes more or less dense ; it 

 also happens that double and single flowers are 

 found in one truss. Per pkt. , 25 cts. 



Double White Phlox Drum- 

 mondi. 



No. 6354. A profuse bloomer, and of great value 

 for bouquets, as it blooms at a season when white 

 flowers are especially desirable. About 80 per cent, 

 of the seed sown will produce double flowers. 

 Per pkt., 25 cts. 



No. 6465. "The individual plants of Rheum 

 nolile are upwards of a yard high, and form conical 

 towers of the most delicate straw-colored, shining, 

 semi-transparent, concave, imbricating bracts, the 

 upper of which have pink edges ; the large bright 

 glossy shining green radical leaves, with red petioles 

 and nerves, forming a base to the whole. On turn- 

 ing the bracts, the beautiful membraneous fragile 

 pink stipules are seen, like red silver paper, and 

 within these again the short branched panicles of 

 flowers." The plant occurs in Sikkim, at an eleva- 

 tion of from 13,000 to 15,000 feet.
