NEW CHOICE PLANTS. 
New Bedding Geranium, Pride of the Parlor. A seedling raised 
by Prof. Charles G. Page, of Washington, D. C., from wliom the entire 
stock has been purchased. Prof. Page describes it as " the best of all 
scarlet Zonales, and having the largest truss known." " The truss is noble, 
the shape of the flower perfect, and the habit of the plant all that could be 
desired, and a remarkably free bloomer." The growth of the plant is very 
compact, naturally forming perfect specimens ; the foliage is flnely and 
very distinctly horseslioe-marked, trusses of flowers very abundant and 
remarkably large, each flower being perfect in shape, of great substance, 
and of vermilion scarlet color. Price, 75 cents. 
Variegated Daisy. This beautiful seedling has a fine, large, bright rose 
flower, with remarkably beautiful variegated foliage, much resembling the 
Acuba Japonica. Leaves largo, glossy, and of great substance. The flower 
is fully equal to any other variety, but its marked foliage will be its chief 
attraction, even when the plant is in flower. It is a decided acquisition. 
Price, 50 cents. 
Tritoma Uvaria. A most desirable plant for the open border or forcing. Its 
curious foliage is vcrj ornaments], and its whorled spike of flowere, rising 
on a threc-feet stem, is very conspicuous. Having exhibited it in August, 
1859, before the Mass. Horticultural Society, the committee report upon it 
as follows : " A most remarkable and very showy plant, . . . every 
way desirable, and a great acquisition." The flower spike is nearly a foot 
in length, commencing to open from the bottom, and continuing in bloom 
for two or three weeks. Color of the buds and flower a dark red shading 
to yellow. Price, 75 cents. 
BOTirbon Bose, George Peabody. A seedling raised by Mr. Pentland, 
of Baltimore. It is a remarkably free flowering and vigorous variety, and 
I should judge, from the experience of one summer, it is unsurpassed, if 
equalled, as a bedding Rose. Color rich dark purple, striped with crimson. 
Price, $1..50. 
Variegated Negundo Maple. The Negnndo is one of the most popular 
varieties of Maple, being a tree of rapid, symmetrical, clean growth, and 
very distinct foliage. This new variegated kind is a very distinct sport, 
with silvery white leaves, spattered with deep green, No other hardy tree 
approaches it in the healthy, lively appearance of its variegation. Price, $2.
