 salmon-scarlet with rich, velvety lustre. Dark green 

 foliage and dwarf, compact, vigorous habit. 12c.

YELLOW VARIETIES. 



Austria. 6 ft. Much has been said of this Italian 

 variety, both for and against it. It is not perfect, yet 

 we deem it a very valuable sort. True, its flowers do 

 not last well and are not produced in large numbers at 

 a time, but they are very large, and the brightest and 

 purest yellow yet before the public, and the plant is 

 grand in habit and foliage. Useful only for massing.
