Vittata Hy- 

 brids. These 

 grand and 

 stately var- 

 ieties were 

 produced 

 by artificial 

 h y b r idiza- 

 tibn. They 

 embrace a 

 great range 

 of color, but 

 the prevail- 

 i n g colors 

 are deep 

 rich velvety 

 crimson, striped pm-e white. 

 Many produce great trum- 

 ^ pet-sLaped flowers often ex- 

 cceding eight inches across, 

 on tall, stiff stems, resem- 

 bling richly colored Lilies. 

 They were gi'own by myself from 

 seed hybridized in my own green- 

 houses from the very choicest 

 named varieties, and all but those 

 of surpassing beauty discarded. 

 The flowers are not only of gigantic 

 size and beautiful colors, but are free-

 FOUNTAIN.

 Rutilans. 



A most graceful 

 and decorative plant. 

 Its tubular carmine 

 flowers, on long, 

 thread-like branches 

 are very pleasing 

 Considering its ease 

 of culture and long 

 time it remains in 

 bloom it is a very 

 valuable plant. Rec- 

 ommended by the 

 best horticultural 

 authorities, but as 

 yet little known. Ea., 

 r2c; 3 for 30c. 



CAPE FUCHSIA, 



Phygelius Gapensis. 

 A most charming 

 and free blooming 

 plant: almost con- 

 stantly in flower.

 bloom freely where 

 Geraniums wiU per- 

 ish from heat and 

 drought. When 

 only a few inches; 

 high, plants throwj 

 up many bold spikes/ 

 completely crowded , 

 with showy scarlet 

 drooping flowers, 

 which are persistent- 

 ly renewed from 

 May until late 

 autumn, when the 

 plants can be brought 

 in the house for win- 

 ter blooming. It is 

 a fine bedding plant to grow singly or in masses, suc- 

 ceeding on poor soil and in almost any situation, £a.f
