Lanuginosa Candida.— A strong grower and good bloomer, having single flowers 
six and one half or more inches in diameter; of a grayish white turning to pure 
white. One of the best. June to October. 
Lawsoniana. — It is a vigorous grower, and a remarkably free and continuous bloomer. 
The Uowers are very large, often nine inches in diameter. Opening a rich, glis- 
tening rosy purple, they gradually change to a mauve purple. Unfortunately art 
can not produce pictures corresponding in any degree to the wealth of beauty 
found in the flowers of tliis variety. June to October. 
Rubella. — Having the same abundant and continuous flowering habit as Jackmanni, 
it forms a fine companion to that splendid variety. The flowers are about seven 
inches in diameter, very commonly six sepaled. Tlie color is a deep velvety 
claret, the rich reddish flush giving it a very distinct appearance from that of 
Jackmanni. June to October. 
Star of India. — A very showy, very free flowering sort with large flowers, first of a 
reddish plum color, changing to a violet purple, wiih turkey red bars in the center 
of each flower leaf. A distinct variety of great merit. July to October. 
Thomas Moore.— This is one of the finest of the new varieties; vigorous and prolific. 
The flowers are very large, and of a deep rich pucy-violet, and having a very 
prominent tuft of white stamens, which give to them something the appearance 
of giant passion flowers. July to October. 
Viticella Kubra Grandiflora.— Should be in every collection. A fine bloomer 
of large, handsome flowers of a rich claret red color. July to October.
