The stems are much shorter than those of the old sort, 

 but the flowers are quite as large. When sown early, C. grandi- 

 llora compacta flowers in 4 to 5 months and can be used both 

 as an annual or a perennial.

Cosruea pinnatifida Mammoth Ked Star.

© Cosmea pinnatifida Mammoth Red Star (Electro). 



A novelty of extraordinary beauty, both on account of 

 the shape and colour of the flowers. The plant is of a very 

 graceful habit and the tlowers have absolutely the shape of a 

 star, with long narrow petals. The effect of the plant is 

 really splendid.

© Dianthus Heddewigii triteleiaeflora (Electro). 



A dwarf rich flowering pink about 14 in. high with stiff 

 and upright stems and glaucous small leaves. 



The quite distinct flowers are perfectly star like , with 

 4 to 5 petals, and resemble very much a Triteleia. 



They are mostly white, but there are also white flowers with 

 a red eye, red and rose ones. This is a plant producing quite 

 an unusual effect and it will not fail to do so when it will be 

 employed either in pots, as a border plant or in any other way.

4 Salvia azurea grandiflora. 



Although this plant is not a novelty it is one of the finest 

 Salvia that exist. The delicate sky-blue colour, almost like 

 that of S. patens , and the size of the flowers , as well as its 

 rapid growth, make this plant much more valuable than the 

 S. farinacea. Its giant stems stand erect, bearing a great 

 number of tine tlowers which afford the finest material for 

 lloral work of every description. In southern countries the 

 plant is a hardy perennial while in the north it can be treated 

 as an annual, as, if sown early in a warm frame, it will flower 

 from July until frosts set in.
