IN PLANTS. 



NEW DWARF STEVIA. 



(Stevia Nana Compacta.) 



A very distinct variety of the well-known Stevia Com- 

 pacta. which is now offered for the first time. It never 

 grows over 18 inches high and it produces a far denser 

 mass of flowers than the old variety, the flowers are 

 white, and it is a great improvement in every respect. 

 75c. each; $7 50 per dozen. 



BOUVAKD1A "ALFRED .VEL'XER." 



♦NEW DOUBLE WHITE BOUVARDIA. 



Alfred Neuner. 



We now have on hand a fine stock of this valuable 

 novelty. It originated by a "sport,'' from the well known 

 single white variety, " Pavidsoni," the flowers are pure 

 white, and double, resembling in appearance a small 

 Tuberose. It is far more valuable for cut flower work 

 than the single variety, as its double flowers last 

 much longer after being cut. 



25, 50 and 75 cents each. 



NEW DOUBLE PINK BOUVARDIA. 



Identically the same as the preceding, except in color, 

 which is a beautiful dark rose color. The great value 

 of the double white for cut flower purposes is now estab- 

 lished, and this will be equally desirable. 

 $1 00 each ; $10 00 per dozen. 



SCARLET CARNATION, 

 "Lady Emma." 



We have long needed a Carnation of intense scarlet 

 color, and at the same time free-flowering qualities. In 

 this variety we have all these qualifications in a marked 

 degree. " Lad\- Emma" is now become a standard sort, 

 as it surpasses in brilliancy of color all the other varieties. 

 It is a very profuse bloomer, and an unusually strong 

 health}' grower. 



Large Plants, 75c each ; $6 00 per dozen. 



CARNATION SEACAUCUS. 



Largely grown in this vicinity, but not generally dis- 

 tributed. Color a light shade of carmine, rich clove 

 fragrance. One of the most profitable winter-blooming 

 varieties. 



Large plants. 50c each : $4 50 per doz. 



CARNATION' LVDIA. 



CARNATION LYDIA. 



The finest of the fancy yellow varieties ; flowers 3 

 inches across ; very double and intense ; clove fragrance. 

 Color rich orange yellow, flecked with carmine. The cut 

 gives a good idea of its appearance. (See cut.) 

 La-ge plants. 75c each ; $G 00 per doz,
