Standard Tuielve Well Tried Varieties.-Cont'd. 



Paul Marquant. One of the most pleas- 

 ing on account of its large size and entirely 

 distinct color. The flowers stand out from 

 the spike separately in such a manner as 

 to attract special attention. Its color is 

 frequently compared in softness to an Or- 

 chid, is of a bright salmon scarlet, passing 

 to a rosy carmine with a peculiar silver 

 lustre which lights up the salmon very 

 brightly. 3 to 'i\ feet. $5.00 per 100. 



Queen Charlotte. Considered by many 

 the finest of all the gilt-edged varieties. 

 The plant attains a height of about three 

 feet and is furnished with heavy bluish- 

 green foliage ; the enormous flower-spikes, 

 towering grandly above the foliage, bear 

 a beautiful bouquet of large flowers of per- 

 fect form, with petals of a rich scarlet 

 crimson, broadly banded with bright 

 canary yellow. $6.00 per 100. 



Kose Unique. A near approach to a 

 rose color, of a remarkably vigorous but 

 dwarf growth, attaininga height of 3| feet. 

 $5.00 par 100. 



Souvenir de Antoine Crozy. This is 

 a perfect gem, and, in our estimation, the 

 finest gilt-edged variety yet introduced ; 

 the flowers are large, with well-rounded petals, which 

 are of intense scarlet crimson, rich and dazzling, am 

 are bordered with a broad rich golden yellow border ; 

 in habit the plant is all that could be desired, being of strong, vig- 

 orous, but dwarf habit, forming symmetrical, compact plants about 

 3 feet high. $10.00 per 100.
