" Drummondii, grandiflora, choice mixed,

" Drummondii, grandiflora splendens, estra 

 choice mixed, this very fine variety haa 

 proved itself to be the gem of the new, large 

 flowering race of P. Drummondii. The flow- 

 ers are large, handsomely rounded and of great 

 substance ; the color vivid crimson, with a pur« 

 white disc : the habit of growth free and ro- 

 bust. As the color stands well in the open 

 ground, it is a valuable bedding plant 10

are perfectly hardy, and need no protection ; will flour- 

 ish in any soil, succeeding better however, in deep, rich, 

 rather moist ground.

PINK- (DifLnthus). 



The family of Diauthus is by far the most useful of 

 all the biennials and perf nnials, and for beauty and va- 

 riety cannot be surpassed. The delicacy and richness 

 of the tints, combined with the aromatic fragrance of 

 many of the ?pecies, are valuable recommendations for 

 the entire family. 



Diauthus, Chinensis ft. pi. (Double China Pink), 

 this species is a biennial of dwarf habit ; flow- 

 ers the first year, but the bloom is stronger the 

 second. The colors are very rich, and in large 

 beds, you can hardly find two alike. Seeds 

 saved fron. double flowers will produce double 



ones 5 



" Plumarius (Pheasant Eyed Pink), white or 

 pink, with dark eye. The flowers deeply 

 fringed or feathered ; very fragrant. Hardy 



perennial 5 



" Chinensis Heddewigii fl. pi. (Heddewig's 

 Pink), flowers very large and double, having 

 a diameter of nearly three inches; of various 

 shades of brilliant colors, almost unsurpassed. 

 An elegant acquisition. Half hardy biennial. . lo- 

 ** Chinensis laciniatus fl. pi. (Double Japan 

 Pink), to be properly appreciated, these should 

 be seen, as it is impossible otherwise to convey 

 any idea of their beauty. Rich in hue, very 

 double, deeply fringed petals— only lacking 

 fragrance to make them perfect. Half-hardy 



biennial . . . 10 



** Heddewigii diadematus (Double Diadem 

 Pink), this is of denser growth than the Hed- 

 dewigii, and of dwarf er habit Very regular, 

 d-snsely double, and of all tints, from crimson- 

 purple to deep black -purple. It has often a 

 velvet- like, radiant fire, impossible to repro- 

 duce . . . 10

 rial Pink), a superb, double variety from

 Heddewigii, and are said to be remarkably fine :
