PLANTS. 



Of the Highest Importance where 

 PLEASUBE and BUSINESS are Desired 



THERE has not certainly, during recent years, 

 been any New Plants offered that have given such satis- 

 faction, and attracted the public eye when exhibited, as 

 the following :— 



CHRYSANTHEMUM.— White Mrs. Filkins, the 



queen of all varieties for cut flowers. Every one now 

 admits the yellow we introduced has proved a most 

 valuable variety. ^ This novelty is pure white, of the 

 exact same exquisite form and character, invaluable ac- 

 quisition for i elect decorative purposes, and for button- 

 holes a gem of gems, 21s. each. 



CHRYSANTHEMUM. — Miss Gertie Waterer, 



loveliest colour, most attractive of all Pompons for cut 

 flowers, is. 6d each. 



CHRYSANTHEMUM. — Little Dot, quite a 



miniature gem, the smallest and prettiest yet seen, a new 

 shade of colour, is. 6d. each. 



DAHLIA, CACTUS.— The Czar, lovely shape, 



always reliable, brilliant crimson colour, best habit, a gem, 

 7s. 6d. each. 



DAHLIA, LORELY. — Cactus-shape, of the most 



delicate La France Rose colour, a decided improvement, 

 best of its colour, 3s. each. 



DAHLIA. — Orange, Glare of the Garden, a bright 



orange-yellow scarlet Glare of the Garden or Fire King, 

 for general cut flower purposes. This is by far the most 



useful, as valuable in its way as White Mrs. Filkins, 7s. 6d. 

 each. 



FUCHSIA. — Addington, a perfect hybrid, a cross 



between fulgens and cordifolia; profuse flowerer, strong 

 grower, one of the prettiest of all the family as a pot 

 plant ever seen. An Award of Merit R.H.S. 7s. 6d. 

 each* 



TROP/EOLUM PHCEBE, — A new shape and 



distinct colours, deliriously scented, and as a climber 

 indoors during the spring and outdoors in summer it gives 

 a new feature, is. each. An Award of Merit R.H.S. 



WITHANIA ORIGANIFOLIA. — The Pampas 



Lily of the Valley, a perfectly hardy Climber, and a 

 most rapid-growing plant, somewhat like the common 

 Tea-tree, producing an innumerable quantity of white, 

 be II -shaped flowers ; equally as suitable in smoky towns as 

 in the country, is. 6d. each. 



ZONAL PELARGONIUMS.— Our set of these are 



the most distinct and beautiful that we have had the honour 

 of introducing. For full particulars of these, and all the 

 above see our ILLUSTRATED and DKSCRIPTIVE 

 FLORAL GUIDE, which will be found the very life and 

 success of every gardener : post free to comine customer*
