604. NEW MCE GIANT "ABUNDANCE" (Last Season's 
Novelty) — The high value of the present new variety, which 
is of dwarf habit, does not consist in the color of its flowers, 
a fine shade of carmine rose, very near that of Queen 
Alexandra, but in its quite phenomenal profusion of bloom. 
The extraordinary ramification of the plant is caused by the 
central stem not pushing upwards, but dividing into 12 to 
15 sturdy branches which in their turn each produce from 
15 to 20 side-shoots, forming spikes of magnificent large 
blossoms. Like all the Nice section, this variety can be 
cultivated either as a summer or as a mnter Stock. This 
Stock, which owing to its unrivalled freedom of bloom has 
been named "Abundance," produces 50 to 60 per cent of 
doubles, and will be found excellent for bedding and for pot 
culture and to be one of the very finest of all plants lor 
cutting 5U 
605. NICE GUNT "BEAUTY OF NICE" — This lovely

nearly 2 inches across. Color is a fashionable delicate shade 
of fleshy pink 15
