HIBISCUS, **Southern Beauty/' ALLEGHENY HOLLYHOCKS. 



A -svonderfully beautiful herbaceous Hibiscus, re- 

 markably profuse in bloom and so fine as to be "well 

 worthy of general cultivation. It forms pyramidal- 

 shaped specimens, the lower branches slightly reclin- 

 ing, clothed with deeply five-cleft leaves, the segments 

 toothed and crimson-margined, presenting a fine orna- 

 mental appearance. In the open ground it covers it- 

 self in late summer and fall with extremely handsome 

 flowers of rich deep crimson, s-hading dai'ker to the 

 velvety throat, which is almost black. When pot- 

 grown'^it begins to bloom in thmnb-pots and while cot 

 more than three inches high. Entirely hardy and of 

 the easiest culture. Ea.. 15c: 3 for -iOc. 



CHAMELEON NASTURTIUIVI. 



A new departure in Nasturtiums, very unique and 

 perfecti}' gorgeous in color. It is of dwarf habit, neat 

 and compact, flowering in the greatest profusion all 

 through the season. It differs from all others in the 

 fact that it produces flowers of entirely different colors 

 and markings upon the same plant, and the variega- 

 tion is of the most marvelous chai^acter imaginable. 

 Upon a single plant may be found flowers bordered, 

 striped, blotched and splashed with various colors upon 

 a ground of another color in a most eccentric and 

 showy manner, some of them being most beautifully 

 margined. The contrast between the different flowers 

 is wonderfully rich and striking. A splendid variety 

 for massing or for borders, and in pots it presents an 

 esceedinslv bri£,ht and ornamental appearance.

HOLLYHOClt 



A grand innovation and a great improvement npon 

 the old style of Double Hollyhocks. Its first point of 

 merit is the fine transparent, fringed Chrysanthemum- 

 shaped flowers of rich and brilliant colors, which look 

 as if they were made of crushed silk, so fine are they 

 in texture. And then in size, they seldom are less than 

 five inches, (most of them are larger, some being as 

 large as seven inches across*. It is a true perpetual 

 bloomer, flowering continually through the hottest 

 weather from July until frost 'at the North, and all 

 the year 7'ound at the South. The colors are clear and 

 transparent, shining with rainbow effect. The great 

 height of the column-like spikes adds majesty and 

 beauty to it, and the tali pyramidal spikes, studded 

 with immense, exquisite flowers from July, render 

 of untold value and loveliness. Perfectly hardy. Sep- 

 arate colors (Red, Rose, Shell Fink, Maroon, Pure 

 Pink) ea., 15c; doz., SI. 50. Mixed colors, ea., 12c; doz., 

 $1.25. Seed, pkt., 10c; 3 pkts. for 25c. 



NERTERA DEPRESSA. 



Coral Bead Plant, 



A beautiful hardy perennial of creeping habit, form- 

 ing a dense carpet close to the ground and bearing the 

 most charming coral-red berries imaginable, in great 

 abundance, with delightful effect. It makes a splendid 

 rock plant, and when potted off for use as a house plant 

 is extremely interesting. Ea., 15c; 3 for 40c.
