E?LANT LCIST. 



POINSETTIA. 



Excellent plants for winter decoration, the 

 bracts, which surround the flowers, are of a fiery 

 vermilion scarlet, and attain their beauty about 

 Christmas. They should be liberally supplied with 

 heat and moisture to obtain the best results. 

 Pulcherrima. 25 cents to $1.00 each. 

 Pulcherrima Plenissima, A double form of the 

 above, producing immense cones of a dazzling 

 scarlet, shaded with orange. 50 cents to $1.00. 



PLUMBAGO GOCCINEA SUPERBA. 



Similar in style to Plumbago Rosea, but produc- 

 ing a long raceme of flowers twelve to fifteen 

 inches in length, and of a bright satiny carmine 

 color. A grand plant for the warm conservatory. 

 75 cents. 



PEONIES. 



Hardy, tuberous-rooted plants, bearing magnifi- 

 cent fragrant flowers. To insure bloom the first 

 season, they must be planted in autumn, but if not 

 couvenient, they can be set in spring. 



12 sorts. 30 cents each ; $3.00 per dozen. 



FORCING ROSES. 



"Wm. Francis Bennet." 



For forcing, this is an admirable rose, its rich 

 glowing crimson color, and charming fragrance, 

 combined with large size and correct shape, have 

 rendered it a favorite wherever shown. We do not 

 recommend it as a summer bloomer, as it is apt to 

 run single, but for winter use it is invaluable. 



First size, 50 cents each ; £5.00 per dozen. 



Second size, 30 cents each ; $3.00 per dozen. 



American Beauty. 



An excellent rose for forcing or open air. The 

 flowers are very double, of a deep crimson color, 

 and very fragrant. 



Its blooming qualities are remarkable, as it is 

 scarcely ever out of flower, and is a true type of 

 what a Hybrid Perpetual Rose should be. We 

 consider it one of the most valuable of the late 

 introductions. 



First size, 50 cents each ; $5.00 per dozen. 

 Second size, 30 cents each ; $3.00 per dozen. 



The Bride. 



A lovel}-, pure white, very fragrant rose, admir- 

 ably adapted for forcing. The buds have more 

 substance than Niphetos, are very full and double, 

 and possess the good characteristics of Catharine 

 Mermet. This new wnite rose will undoubtedly 

 supersede Cornelia Cook on account of its freedom 

 of bloom. 



First size, 50 cents each ; $5.00 per dozen. 

 Second size, 30 cents each ; S3- 00 per dozen.
