FERN LEAVED BEAUTY, No. 1. 



A fancy variety introduced by us two years ago. It has been 

 called Fern Leaved Beauty on account of its very distinct foliage, 

 which is finely cut, like that of a strong-growing Fern. (See illus- 

 tration.) The flowers are of medium size, with petals quilled or 

 shell-like, regularly arranged, but standing out from each other, 

 giving the flower a graceful elegance and freedom from stiff 

 formality. Color creamy white, with petals heavily bordered with 

 dark crimson, which gradually diminishes at the points of the outer 

 petals, causing a gradual shading oft of color from the centre to the 

 edges. 25 cts. each, 5 for $1.00. 



MRS. PEART, No. 2. 



This is a most distinct form with peculiarly quilled petals 

 resembling in appearance the flowers of the Night-Blooming 

 Cereus ; it is white in color and the flowers are produced in the 

 greatest profusion. It is certain to become 

 \ery popular as a cut flower, and at a short 

 distance is easily mi>taken for a 

 Chr\saiuhemum. 25 cts. each, 6 

 f 1 $1 00.
