Peace. (Groffs). — This is the grandest white var- 
iety ever offered in the world. The plant is most 
striking and attractive, its massive proportions, 
broad heavy foliage "of a rich green, erect and 
vigorous habit of growth, give evidence of a 
constitution and vigor, rare in ligTit colored hy- 
brids. These qualities are further proven by its 
exceptional repi-oductlve powers, by offsetts and 
division. The flowers are large, of good form 
and correctly placed on a heavy, straight spike. 
They are a beautiful white, with a pale lilac 
feathering on the interior petals. Each, 30c. 
Afterglow. (Groffs). — The name selected for this 
unique and beautiful type conveys more descrip- 
tive force than any word painting. The color 
combination of our Canadian sky after sunset, 
rose, salmon, fawn and blue, is wonderfully du- 
plicated in the Inflorescence of this distinct var- 
iety. The plant is tali and upright, from 5 to 6 
feet to top of spike when well-grown. The flow- 
ers are large and wide open, of a salmon-fawn 
shade, with a light vloiet-blue centre. Each, 40o.

make a pleasing and effective decoration. Each, 
40c. 
Evolution. (Groffs). — This novelty is one of the 
most attractive and interesting hybrids for am- 
ateurs, not only for its beauty and quality, but 
on account of the tendency of the stalk to as- 
sume a vine-like character by twisting and 
twining. The flowers are large, of a delicate 
rose color shaded darker, and are exceptionally 
durable when cut, in spite of their size. Owing 
to the irregular form of the spikes at times, a 
vase of "Evolution" presents an effect of an 
original and impressive character unknown in 
any other variety. Each, 25c.; doz., $2.00. 
La Luna. (Groffs). — Remarkable flower and one 
of the most pronounced substance known. It's 
value is increased by the fact that unlike such 
durable and heavy petaied varieties, it blooms 
freely m water. The large heavy buds open as 
a pale yellow which passes to a pleasing white 
when the flowers are fully expanded. These 
are relieved by a small brown marking in the 
throat, and have few equals in point of sub- 
stance. The whole plant grows slightly over 
three feet high, sturdy and vigorous. The flow- 
ers are correctly placed and borne well above 
the surrounding foliage. Each, 25c.; doz., $2.00.
