Our Novelties and Specialties for 1892 nfJ^Tafe'd from 



page 74 to page 80 inclusive. Each variety offered has been proved by careful trial to be a distinct and 

 valuable addition to the flowers that can be grown to full perfection in this country in one season from seed. 

 Our descriptions and illustrations have been carefully made from nature, and we trust will interest and 

 encourage our friends and customers, and all lovers of beautiful flowers, to add these distinct new and rare 

 varieties to their collections. Our Novelties and Specialties are put up in generous packets, with careful 

 directions for cultivation on each, and are allowed the full benefit of the very liberal premiums described 

 on page 81. We ask special attention to the colored inset opposite: Success Coleus, Begoxia Vernon 

 and Carnation Marguerite are certainly the most valuable novelties sent out for many years.
