Everblooming " Red Hot Poker Plant." 



This new variety is a marvelous improvement 

 over the old well-known " Red Hot Poker " plant. 

 It is a very free blooming sort, flowering continu- 

 ously throughout the season. The flowers are large 

 spikes of brilliant flame color, rich yellow at base, 

 with long stalks gracefully poised above the rich 

 green foliage. A bed of this in bloom is a grand 

 sight; a border of it around Cannas is admirable; 

 scattered throughout the flower garden it adds grace 

 and brightness and is in its glory when nearly all 

 other flowers are seared with early frosts. The roots 

 should be dug up before hard frost and kept in sand 

 in the cellar during winter. (See cut.) Price, 30c. 

 each, $3.00 per doz.

This violet is entirely hardy, perfectly double, a deep 

 violet purple color and most deliciously fragrant. verbena 



It surpasses the well-known " Marie Louise " Violet mrs. mckinley

 it in its delightful odor; this is one of its greatest merits. It 

 is entirely free from disease of any kind, will grow and bloom in 

 any garden and in any situation. Nothing is more appropriate 

 for cemetery plots than the Hardy Double English Violet. (See
