 NEW DOUBLE WHITE BOUVARDIA-ALFRED NEUNER. 



This novelty originated 

 near Cincinnati, and is 

 recommended as a gem 

 of the first water, equal, 

 if not superior, in profuse 

 blooming quality and vig- 

 orous healthy growth to 

 the valuable single vari- 

 ety, Davidsoni, of which 

 this double white one is a 

 sport. The flowers are 

 rather larger than those 

 of the single-flowering, 

 and composed of three 

 perfect rows of petals of 

 the purest waxy white 

 color, each floret resem- 

 bling a miniature tube- 

 rose. The trusses are 

 large and perfect, freely 

 and without interruption 

 produced, even on the 

 small side shoots, which 

 generally make no 

 flowers on the single one. 

 It will not be long before 

 this will become a stan- 

 dard flower, indispensable 

 in all fine cut flower work. 

 A novelty which will 

 make a sensation wher- 

 ever seen. Plants will 

 be ready after April 1st, 

 at $2.00 each; $20.00 per 

 doz.
