 From the seed we offer, a very large 1 percentage comes double, while all are deliciously fragrant.

colour of the flowers being reversed. In Verna, the rich blue is on the upper petals, while in 

 Viclacca the rich blue, is on the lower petals. The present introduction has an advantage over 

 Verna, inasmuch as it may be sown iff spring or autumn ; while Verna will only vegetate when sown 

 in early aujiumn, height 1 ft 1 o

ance ; unlike D. cardinale, which was introduced some years since, it is of a fine constitution and 

 perfectly hardy, and we have no doubt, with the very high class Delphiniums now in cultivation, we 

 shall have an intermingling of colours, which will add an entirely new charm to these the finest and 

 most effective of our herbaceous plants, height 1 ft." to 3 ft. is. and 2 6

 GERANIUMS. These are now pre-eminently our bedding plants, a?id we depend much upon them for the 



decoration of the flower garden. It may not be generally known to the amateur that plants from seed 

 sown early in spring will be decorative throughout the summer months ; and not only this, but new 

 varieties may be raised even by those who have no better convenience than a cucumber frame. We 

 have devoted ourselves specially to the procuring of seed fro?n the most eminent growers from flowers 

 which have been fertilized, and are certain to yield varieties of great excellence. We therefore strongly 

 recommend the following : —

all the best varieties of horizontal, erect, and drooping, including such varieties as Rose d' Amour, 



Sir Hugo, Prince Teck, Count Leminghi, etc f/- and 2 6
