MEW DOUBLE AMNUflL CHRTS/IIITHEnunS. 
This valuable and most unique novelty has resulted from carefully hvbridizing 
and selecting for several years the semi-double varieties of this uselul annual 
already existing, until a high degree of douMencss has been attained. They are 
extremelv variable, and it is impossible to describe the beautiful fqrms ^vl1lch have 
been produced. Some are pure white, yellow or crimson, but the prevailing types 
are bronzy vcJlow. Pkt. 30o., 2 pkts. 50c. 
QLOXINI/I, "DEflflNQE." 
This is quite a new color in Gloxinias, and can best be described as an intense 
glowing scarlet, a tone which, for richness, has not hitherto been found in the genus. 
The flowers are large and erect, and the edges of the petals are delicately fn led, 
which adds considerably to their appearance. Pkt. 30o., 2 pkts. 50c. 
NEW COCKSCOnB, "THE QUEEN." 
This new Cockscomb is undoubtedly the finest variety yet raised; for color 
size, dwarfness of habit, and free .setting, nothing could excel it. It is the result of 
a cross between Glasgow Prize and Empress. !ind introduced for the first time 1 y 
us. It has-grown to the enormous size of 37 by 18 inches, and awai-ded a first- 
class certificate by the Koyal Horticultural Society of England. Pkt. aOc, 3
