ABUTILON EBEOTA. 



ABUTHiO^^ EHECTH. 



Plowers erect instead of pendulous, a 

 Tery pretty shade of pinkish orange. Un- 

 like the other sorts the flowers are always

 cially described, for $2.00. 



GOIiDE^^ SPOTTED 



HfiUTIIiOH, "Eclipse." 



This is a novel and distinct varie- 

 ty. The leaves are beautifully 

 spotted with golden yellow on a 

 green ground. The flowers are 

 orange-yellow, and are produced 

 abundantly. It is an excellent plant 

 for edging foliage beds, and as a 

 basket or vase plant is unsui-passed, 

 while as a specimen in the window 

 or conservatory it has few equals. 

 Price, 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz. 



SWEET flLYSSUlH, " Double Tom Thumb/ 



The Single Tom Thumb Alyssum, which we 

 were the first to introduce several years ago, 

 has proved to be the best of all Alyssums 

 for either ribbon lines or pot plants. This 

 variety has the same dwarf habit as the single, 

 but its trusses are much longer and the florets

{Euphorbia splendens.) 



A curious plant with thick, fleshy 



twining stems, which are covered 



with stout, sharp spines nearly an

beautiful coral pink, very pretty when in bloom.

DOUBLE TOM THUMB. 



double. The double flowors hold on so long that 

 the plant is always in bloom, and never has that 

 ragged and unattractive appearance that the old 

 varieties have when out of flower. (See cut.) 15 cts. 

 each, $1.50 per dozen. 



We can also furnish Single Tom Thumb, Colossus, 

 Variegated Alyssum, and Sweet Alyssum. 10 cts. 

 each, $1.00 per dozen. 



DOUBLE GOLDEN MARGUERITE. 



{Anthemis Coronaria, jl. pi.) 

 The engraving gives a fair idea of this most 

 beautiful plant. Nothing could be more showy, 

 either as a pot plant or bedded out. This plant 

 might well be called the "Shower of Gold," as 

 it is a perfect mass of rich golden yellow flowers 

 the whole year round, being equally useful in win- 

 ter as in summer. Well-grown plants have as many 

 as 150 flowers on them at once. 



20 cts. each, 4 for 75 cts., 12 for $2.00.
