 that we have ever seen, both deep and 

 broad ; color, bright crimson with gold re- 

 verse ; very fine. 25 cents.

 mense size, color pure white ; we believe

 inson and a much stronger grower. 



Dr. Enguehard — One of the best vari- 

 eties of recent introduction. Color a Jtrue 

 pink without the least trace of purple. 



Miss Alice Byron— One of the grandest 

 whites, introduced for some time and the 

 purest in color of any we grow, and it is 

 sure to prove valuable for All Saints Day, 

 as it blooms about the same time as Mrs. 

 H. Robinson.

 flower with very broad petals, in color a 

 beautiful shade of rose, the best of this 

 color for All Saints Day.

 in size than the very popular Mrs. Coombes, 

 and opens freely and easily; incurving cen- 

 ter, reflexing outer petals.

 sport from Mrs. Robinson. No other vari- 

 ety approached it for size at this date.

 without the objectionable eye; color, white, 

 of an exceedingly pure tone ; very broad 

 center petals, incurving closely; tubular ray 

 florets. Height, 4 feet ; second crown or
