SEW FANCY HYBRID PETCXIAS. 



NEW FANCY HYBRID PETUNIAS. 



Our seedling Petunias have justly gained a country-wide 

 reputation. They are one of our specialties to which we 

 devote great attention. All the seed from which these 

 plants are raised was saved from the finest flowers, 

 carefully hybridized by hand. This new race of Petunias 

 is characterized by the immense size of the flowers and 

 brilliancy of colors, which comprise the varied shades of 

 rose, purple, white, crimson, mar»ou, pink, etc,, beauti- 

 fully fringed and striped. (See cut. |

NEW DOUBLE PETUNIAS. 



The deterioration of double Petunias that have been cul- 

 tivated for a number of years makes the raising of new 

 varieties a necessity. The collection of this year is unsur- 

 passed for brilliancy of colors and size of flowers. De- 

 scriptions are of so little help in making a selection that 

 we do not describe each variety. TVe would only say, that 

 they include all the brighest shades of pink, purple, rose, 

 white, etc.

SET OF PHLOXES. 



Many of the new Phloxes that have been raised and sent 

 out in past years are very much alike. For this reason 

 we have carefully selected the below set, and present it as 

 containing only such varieties as are markedly distinct. 

 As this beautiful genus of hardy plants blooms well in 

 partial shade, they are, perhaps, the most valuable plants 

 we cultivate for city gardens or shrubberies. This collec- 

 tion embraces every color from purest white to darkest 

 crimson.

 leaves being often over a foot in diameter and of the most 

 brilliant vermilion color. We grow an area of 3,000 square
