Dianthus Heddewigi ornatus. 



This is a new and very charming form of compact habit 

 and very large flowers, the petals of which are deep blood red 

 towards the centre, striped and marbled in dark brown in a 

 very original manner, while the border is white and forms 

 a white distinct circle. The combination of these different 

 colors is of a striking effect.

Polygonum Posumbu. (Electro.) 

 Although this charming variety is not new, yet as far as 

 we know it has never been grown or offered. It is very dwarf, 

 with dark green glossy leaves somewhat undulated, from which 

 emerge the small rosy panicles. The plant grows only about 

 12 to 14 inches high, producing a mass of leaves, and is 

 extremely adapted for groups, carpet beddings &c.

Ipomoea Mikado. 



Of this excellent class, only recently introduced from Japan, 

 with extraordinary large flowers, we offer seed in all colours 

 mixed at page 39 of this catalogue; we have however selected 

 a number of fine and remarkable colours, which we offer each 

 separately below. The plants are of vigorous and rapid growth, 

 producing in great profusion very large flowers often up to 

 4 in-across. The colors are mostly new and quite original. 

 Stock very limited.
