Collerette Dahlia. President Viger. 

 An entirely distinct type of Single Dahlias which must be 

 seen to be appreciated ; the peculiarity consists in the flower 

 having a row of short petals around the disc which are of an 

 entirely different color from the rest of the flower, the petals 

 being of a rich claret color shading lighter towards the edges, 

 with a pure white collar, occasionally suffused rose. Roots, 20 

 cents each ; S2.00 por doz.; $15.00 per IOo. 



Eupatorinm Vernale. 



A valuable winter flowering plant, which received a certificate 

 of merit from the Royal Horticultural Society of London, before 

 which it was shown in February, 1903. Unlike most other 

 varieties of Eupatorium, nearly all of which are tall growing 

 which makes them useless for pot plants, E. Vernale is of 

 dwarf, compact growth, never exceeding two feet in height, 

 making an excellent pot plant for the window garden or con- 

 servatory. Its flowers, which are produced during January and 

 February, are tinted pink when first opening, changing to a pure 

 white when fully matured. They are profusely produced in 

 much branched terminal corymbs, eight to ten inches in diameter. 



Ready in April. 25 cents each ; $2. 50 per doz. 



Echeverias. 



Secunda Glauca ... 75 cents per dozen ; §6.00 per 100. 



fletallica 20 cents each ... 2.00 per doz. 



Sanguinea 15 cents each . . 1.50 " 



New Dwarf Coral Plant. 



Erythrina Christa-Galli Compacta.) 



The Coral Plant has always been a favorite on account of its 

 brilliant and interesting flowers, but its tall growth was an 

 objection to its general cultivation, it frequently attaining a height 

 of 6 feet before blooming. In this new variety we have a plant 

 that is not only dwarf — it did not exceed 30 inches in our trial 

 grounds last summer — but is also of branching habit, and each 

 branch is terminated with a spike of flowers. These are of a 

 brilliant crimson-scarlet, and are produced from early in July 

 until frost ; a plant that we can recommend for every garden. 

 After frost the plants may be lifted and stored in a dormant con- 

 dition through the winter in a dry cellar, covering them with dry 

 soil or sand. Extra strong plants, 30 cents each ; $3.00 per doz. 



En char is Amazonica. 



A nice lot of strong bulbs in 3-inch pots. - 

 20 cents each ; $2.00 per dozen ; $15.00 per 100. 



Enrya Latifolia Variegata. 



An evergreen shrub with dark green foliage, which is beauti- 

 fully variegated with creamy white; good plants in 5 -inch pots, 

 50 cents each. 



Ficns Radicans Variegata. 



A pretty variegated trailing variety. An admirable plant for 

 the warm conservator}'. The leaves are bright green, freely 

 and irregularly margined with white, the variegation sometimes 

 extending to nearly the entire leaf. 35 cts. each. 



Ficns Repens. 



Strong 3-inch pots, $1.25 per doz.; $10.00 per 100. 



Fnchsias. 



10 choice varieties 



Per doz. Per 100

Ficns Lntescens. 



The Mistletoe Fig or Rubber Plant. 



A new species which is especially interesting on account of 

 its free prolific fruiting qualities, it bearing at each leaf axis a 

 small fig-shaped berry, which at first green changes to a pale 

 yellow. The foliage is small and of a dark green color, the 

 whole plant reminding one of a branch of mistletoe. It should 

 make an excelleut subject for the window-garden. 

 Strong plants, 75 cents each.
