COLE'S CHOICE NOVELTIES. 



STOCKS, LARGB FLOWERING PER- 

 PETUAL WtiTlTE. 



This fine, new variety is sold by many under different names, 

 but it is one of the most valuable Ten Weeks' Stock ever intro- 

 duced. As shown in the illustration, it is of strong growth and 

 fine branching habit— a novelty of the first rank. It grows in 

 the open ground, to the height of IV^ feet, and if sown early, 

 will produce uninterruptedly a great abundance of bloom from 

 May or June until November. The individual flowers are un- 

 commonly large, of a fine rosette-like shape, and the purest 

 possible white. The flowers appear on each little shoot, and the 

 oftener they are cut, the better they seem to like it; indeed, it 

 is a veritable " Cut and Come Again." It also succeeds splen- 

 didly as a pot plant, and the flowers are delicately fragrant.

MAMMOTH VERBENA. 



STATICE SUWOROWI. 



A bed of this lovely new variety is a most magnificent sight, being one 

 mass of bloom and remaining in flower from two to three months. The illus- 

 tration gives a good idea of the habit of growth, but fails to convey any 

 Ldequate impression of the great beauty of the grand spikes of bloom. 

 The flowers are a lovely crimson rose and the spikes are 15 to 18 inches 

 long, by from Vz to 1 inch in breadth. Each plant bears from ten to fifteen 

 spikes of flowers. The foliage lies flat on the ground, and each leaf being 

 about 5 inches long by VA to 2 inches wide, makes an attractive carpet from 

 .vbich the flower spikes rise in bold relief.
