Charles Henderson. A grand variety of a fine crim- 
sou color that has become very popular. While it is 
not quite as rich in color as Alphonse Bouvier, its 
habit of growth is much more compact, rarely exceed- 
ing "iYi feet in height, which makes it a desirable 
companion to such varieties as Florence Vaughan and 
Madame (Jrozy. 
Egandale. A most excellent variety, with bronzy 
foliage and soft currant-red flowers, which are thrown 
well above the foliage ; the best of its type ; attains 
a height of about 4 feet. 
Florence Vaughan. Undotibtedly one of the finest 
yellow spotted varieties yet sent out ; in color it is of 
a bright rich golden yellow, spotted with bright red ; 
the flowers, which are of the largest size, of great 
subslauce and of perfect form, are borne in large 
beads and in the greatest profusion ; the foliage is 
massive and of a rich green color ; the plants rai-ely 
exceed 'i}4. to 4 feet in height. 
Furst Bismarck. Rich scai'let-crimson, hut so dis- 
tinct from all other crimsons that it can be planted 
along with them in perfect harmony of color. The 
flowers are of large size, with broad petals of good 
substance, and produced in immense 
trusses ; of vigorous, compact, uni- 
form growth, about i% feet high. 
F. Neuvesel. This is a splendid sort of 
a soft, pleasing shade of carmine ; of 
good size and excellent habit, the foli- 
age is dark green with bronzy mark- 
ings ; it is of strong, robust habit, 
growing 43^ feet high. Very efl'ective. 
Italia. Is of a bright orange-scarlet, 
with a very broad golden yellow 
border ; the flowers, which are pro- 
duced on massive stems about sixteen 
inches long, are set well above the 
foliage; the foliage is large and heavy, 
similar to that of Musa JSnsete. One 
of the best sorts. 
Madame Crozy. The flowers of this 
well-known and popular variety are 
of a bright crimson-scarlet, bordered 
with golden yellow. The plant is of 
vigorous growth yet dwarf in habit, 
rarely exceeding 4 feet in height. 
Foliage bright green, and very mass- 
ive. The flowers are produced on large, 
branching stems which are closely set 
with bloom, each stem being really a 
bouquet in itself. 
Mad. Leon Leclerc. Entirely distinct 
ground color, being a bright orange- 
scarlet with a heavy tip and narrow 
margin of yellow. 5 feet.

with marked chocolate mai-gin. It is 
one of the earliest bloomers, coming into flower when 
from 14 to 18 inches high, and blooming continuously 
thereafter. 
Queen Charlotte. The finest of all the gilt-edged 
varieties. The plant attains a height of about 3 
feet and is furnished with heavy bluish green foliage ; 
the enormoiis flower spikes, towering grandly above 
the foliage, bear a beautiful bouquet of large flowers 
of perfect form, with petals of a rich scarlet-crim- 
son, broadly banded with bright canary yellow. 3 feet 
high. 
Souvenir du President Carnot. Bronze foliage. 5 ft. 
Sunray. An entirely distinct striped variety. The 
flowers are of large size, open out well, and are pro- 
duced very freely. The ground color is a rich bright 
yellow, with stripes and dashes of bright scarlet run- 
ning through almost to the edge of the petals, pro- 
ducing a tmique and bizarre effect. 
Sam. Trelease. The greatest merit of this variety is 
that the flowers open out flat, which, with its very 
broad petals, which are of good .substance, makes a 
large, nearly perfectly circular flower, dift'erent from 
all other sorts. In color it is the nearest approach to 
a pure scarlet yet introduced. Very rich and glow- 
ing ; the edges and center are marked with yellow, 
about the same as in Mme. Ci-ozy. About 3 feet 
high. 
Souvenir d'Antoine Croiy. The richest gilt-edged 
variety yet introduced ; the flowers are lai-ge, with 
well-rounded petals, which are of intense scarlet- 
crimson, rich and dazzling, and are bordered with a 
broad, rich golden yellow band ; in habit the pl.ant is 
all that could be desired, being of strong, vigorous, 
but dwarf habit, forming symmetrical compact plants 
about 3 feet high.
