 very suffusion. $3.50 per doz.; $25.00 per 100

 coral-red with deeper suffusion at the centre. $2.50

Grisette. Size, large; form, stem, color and freedom 

 of bloom ideal. The flowers are composed of rolled, 

 wavy, heavy but not coarse petals, which broaden 

 out towards the tips, forming a most substantial 

 flower of a rich old-gold flushed with salmon-pink; 

 good for all purposes. $20.00 per doz. 



Halo. Petals curled and twisted, which lends a pecu- 

 liar gracefulness to this large bloom, which in color 

 is a brilliant tyrian-rose with deeper shadings at 

 the centre, with a velvety appearance that intensi- 

 fies and gives it fire and life. $10.00 per doz.; $75.00 

 per 100. 



Jean Chazot or "Gay Paree." We consider this French 

 introduction not only the best commercial bronze or 

 autumn-tinted cut flower, but it is also one of the 

 best all-around varieties that has yet been produced 

 for garden decoration. 



The habit of the plant is all that could be wished 

 for. A free, upright grower; long, stiff, wiry stems 

 hold the flowers well above the foliage in such a 

 manner as to display their full beauty; it is one of 

 the most prolific flowering, coming into bloom early 

 and continuing in good condition to the end of the 

 season; we have never seen an imperfect flower; 

 these are of good size, of splendid hybrid-cactus 

 form, and in color a beautiful golden-bronze with 

 just a faint suffusion of Nasturtium-red that in- 

 tensifies its brilliancy and adds to its charm. .$5.00 

 per doz.; $35.00 per 100.
