ties. 
Alphonse Bouvier. This is, all points considered, 
probably the grandest variety yet introduced. It is a 
remarkably luxuriant grower, in rich ground attaining a 
height of 6 to 7 feet. In color, it is of a rich, brilliant 
crimson, almost approaching scarlet when it first opens, 
changing to a deep, dazzling crimson as the flowers fully 
develop. 75 cts. per doz.; $5.00 per 100. 
Charles Henderson. A grand variety introduced three 
years since, of a fine crimson color that has become very 
popular. While it is not quite as rich in color as 
Alphonse Bouvier, its habit of growth is much more com- 
pact and uniform, rarely exceeding 33 feet in height, 
which makes it a desirable companion to such varieties 
as Florence Vaughan and Madame Crozy. 75 cts. per 
doz. ; $5.00 per 100.

ing a height of 5 to 6 feet, producing very large salmon

good size with well-rounded heavy petals of the most in- 
tense rich orange scarlet ; foliage bronzy purple; very
