Rose " Papa Gontier. 



COMTESSE DE FhEIGNEUSE. 



R0SE "PAPA GONTIER; 



Fine foliage, showing distinctly the Duchess of Edinburgh parentage, exceedingly free flowering;, very sweet, 

 being free from mildew and keeping double, it is one of the best out-door summer roses for cut-flowers. The 

 blooms are large and long, with thick broad petals of a dark carmine crimson. The inner petals are a bright 

 rosy carmine, and light up well at night. 50 cts. each. $5.00 per dozen. 



COMTESSE DE FREIGNEUSE. 



A charming new yellow tea rose, very fragrant, the buds are long and pointed, nearly equal in size to Perle 

 des .lardin. and are of a light yellow color, somewhat similar to M. Niel. Its lovely color and form, combined 

 with its free blooming qualities, will doubtless render it a popular rose. 50 cts. and $1.00, each. 



Anthemis Coronaria fl. pi. 



One of the most useful plants for bedding or pot culture lately intro- 

 duced. It bears its golden yellow double flowers profusely during the 

 season, and can be recommended as a first class edging plant. 

 25 cts. each; $2.50 per dozen. 



Anthericum Picturatum. 



A most distinct and handsome variety, differing from the well known 

 Anthericum vittatum variegatum, in having a bright yellow band run- 

 ning through the centre of the leaf, edged with bright pea-green; as a 

 plant for the embellishing of window-boxes, baskets or vases it is in- 

 valuable. Though introduced some four years since, it is yet quite 

 Anthemis Coronaria h. pl. Scarce. 50 Cts. each.
