Chrysanthemum Frutescens,

 "Queen Alexandra." 



Paris Daisy, 



The single flowering Paris Daisy has, for many years, been a 

 favorite, not only as a cut flower, but also as a decorative pot 

 plant, during the winter months, and we predict for this pretty 

 double-flowered form even a greater future. The flowers are 

 from 2y z to 3 inches in diameter, and of a pure white color ; 

 the greater percentage of these coming full double, not unlike 

 an Anemone-flowered Japanese Chrysanthemum, but even the 

 semi-double and single flowers, which appear on the same 

 plant, are very handsome. 



Ready February 15th. 20 cents each ; JS2.00 p er dozen. 



California Giant. The best of the large single white 

 varieties. 



Etoile d'Or. A large, soft, pure yellow. 60 cts. per dozen ;

Crotons. 



Nothing can excel the beauty and richness of coloring that is 

 found in this class of plants. They are beautiful as pot plants 

 for the conservator,', making handsome specimens for decora- 

 tive and exhibition purposes, and are now used extensively as 

 bedding plants, for which purpose they are exceptionally well 

 adapted. They should be planted in full sun in a position 

 where they can be liberally supplied with water, which develops 

 the most wonderful coloring in the foliage. We enumerate 

 below a few of the leading varieties, but can supply many other 

 sorts :

Aureum Punctatum. Long, narrow foliage, with numer- 

 ous yellow spots.
