New WJiite Hybrid Pink — Sarah Howard. 
This hybrid between some White China Pink and a White Monthly Carnation 
was obtained by the accurate florist, Mr. G. Howard. Seed sown in March of 
last year attained a height of one to one and a half feet in July, in the open 
ground, when they commenced and continued to bloom in wonderful profusion 
until October, when they were lifted, and continued to bo covered with buds 
through the winter. They are, however, perfectly hardy in the open ground. The 
flowers are of the purest wliite, symmetrical in form, and from two to three inches in 
diameter. As a white pink for winter flowering, it will fill a blank that has been 
long wanting. 
Price, 75 cents each ; seeding plants of this new strain, which come remarkably 
bly double and true, at 50 cents each. 
Variegated-leaved Geraniums. 
Mrs. Pollock. — Leaves green, with a beautiful deep bronze-red zone, shaded 
with bright red, and broad margin of rich golden-yellow ; flowers scarlet, good habit. 
No description can convey any idea of the beauty of this plant ; in our estimation, 
it is the most beautiful of variegated plants, without exception. 
Price, $2 each. 
Golden Hahkawat. — Leaves small, dark-green, margined with golden-yellow ; 
flowers scarlet; an abundant bloomer. The strongest grower of all the yellow 
varieties ; dwarf-spreading habit. 
Prices 50 cents. 
Golden Cerise, Unique. — Like Golden Harkaway, with a bronze zone on 
the leaf, which is much larger than G. Harkaway. Upright grower ; a very desira- 
ble variety. 
Price, 50 cents. 
Bedding Geranium — TIbrald op Spring. 
A remarkably fine variety, with luxuriant and deeply marked zonate leaves, and 
extra large truss thrown fully above the foliage ; flowers cherry, tinted with orange. 
Very large, almost circular, and perfect in shape, and opening uniformly upon the 
truss. A truss just taken from a pot-plant measures as follows : Flower-stalk, seven 
and a half inches in length ; single flower, one and eight-tenths inches by one and 
seven-tenths inches across the petals ; nine flowers upon the truss, seven of which 
are fully open, giving the truss the globular form and size of a double Snowball.
