We offer below six of the finest newer sorts 

 shown at the leading exhibitions last Fall. 

 They are all first class. 



Aesthetic. The petals closely incurve, and 

 are so arranged as to form distinct tiers of 

 puffs or rolls rather than the regular con- 

 tour usually seen in the incurved varieties. 

 The color is a delicate primrose. Price, 

 30c. each, $3.00 per doz. 



Flamingo. An exquisite shade of crim- 

 son, reflexing perfectly showing only the 

 upper surface of the petals. A splendid 

 grower, strong stems and fine foliage; 

 destined to become one ot the best ex- 

 hibition crimsons. Price, 50c. each, 

 $5.00 per doz.

 clear through, having no golden reverse.

 tween A. T. Miller and Wm. Duckham.
