Salvia coccinea lactea nana. 0 



A dwarf form of the lovely S. coccinea lactea growing 

 only about 16 to 20 inches high and bearing in great number 

 pure white flowers already in June which last until frost sets 

 in; most valuable for groups.

Salvia taraxacifolia. 4 



Resembling in habit the S. paniculata but growing rather 

 bushy and only about io inches high; it is therefore very valuable 

 for dwarf groups. One single plant will produce about 15 to 

 20 panicles of bright lilac flowers with a whitish lip, and

although they are not very large yet they appear in such a large 

 number from June to September that this very pretty kind may 

 be considered one of the most floriferous of its class.

Scabiosa brachiata. 0 



A most valuable plant for cutting purposes, which as far 

 as form and color are concerned resembles the S. caucasica. 

 Its flowers of a pale blue are about the same size as those of 

 this latter kind , and they grow at the extremity of the stalks 

 which are about 12 to 15 inches high. While the perennial 

 S. caucasica flowers generally late in the season and even only 

 the second year, this new kind begins to bloom already in 

 the month of May and its charming flowers last a long time.

Verbena ciliata. 0 



Resembling for its habit and shape of flowers the Ver- 

 bena erinoides and it is an equally free bloomer, only its 



leaves are less deeply cut and its flowers are of a very 

 bright lilac.

Zinnia elegans laciniata fl. albo pi. © (Electro.) 



We are this year offering the first color of a new class of 

 this very useful annual, the petals of the perfect shaped flowers 

 are as is shown in our cut more or less deeply cut, a fact never 

 met before with any Zinnia. The habit of the plant and shape 

 of the pure white flowers is exactly that of the Z. elegans fl. pi. 

 Next year we hope to be able to offer some more colors of 

 this fine class.

rich flowering. We have had as many as 25 to 30 flowers of 

 about 3 inches in diameter on a single plant, which is certainly 

 remarkable considering its small proportions. The flowers are 

 quite as large and double as those of the old Z. elegans. — 

 This new kind can therefore be quite specially recommended 

 as a border plant. Last summer we grew it side by side with 

 the ordinary Zinnia in order to ascertain that the soil did not 

 exert an influence upon the dwarf habit. The plant remained 

 what we expected it to be. — We offer this year 3 distinct 

 colors, hoping to add some more next season.
