Is. 6d. each 
NEW SILVER TRICOLOR. 
MRS. MILLER (Miller) — A grand improvement on the well-known Lolii/ Varden, crimson and 
black zones, very even and conspicuou.s, far in advance of all others. 10s. each. 
NEW PENTSTEMONS. 
Raised by Mr. D. McFarlane. 
It will be seen that the Pentstomons raised by Mr. McFarlane, and sent out by us now for several 
years, have replaced most of the older and new varieties — in fact, they are so large, and of such lovely 
colour's and habit, much dwarfer than those usually seen, that the editors speak of them thus : - 
Gardeners' Magazine, August 12</t, 1882. 
Pentstemons ft-om Swanley made a brave show on our table. Messrs. Cannell told us 
some time since that they could almost equal the Gloxinias with some of them, and they 
were almost right. A few of the flowers are very Gloxlnia-like In size, and form, and 
colouring, but their variation is considerable, and we are quite content to have such 
splendid Pentstemons. ^ 
MRS. INGRAM — Dark violet tube and month, briskly striped throat, and good spike ; a 
beauty. 
MflS. WEAVBR-Rosy red tube .and mouth, white veined throat, and grand spike. 
MRS. McELROY — Dark violet tube and mouth, slightly veined white throat, a good flower, 
and very dense sinke. 
MRS. POLLETT — Rosy pink tube, dark bronzy mouth, large flower, and grand spike. 
MRS. STYLES — Dark lilac tube, bronzy claret mouth, a large flower and nobli^ spike ; a 
first-rate variety in every respect.

and good spike ; one of the very best. 
4s. each. 
VIRGIN ALB (Lemoine) — Very much the finest white V'.ariety ever yet sent out ; strong grower, 
and a very fine aecpiisition. AVas awarded a First Class Certificate at Chiswick. 2s. Gd. each 
SINGLE PETUNIAS (New Type Fimbriated). 
All who have visited our Nursery during the summer, or the Floral Committee at South Kensington, 
will allirm that our strain of both single and double Petunias are far in advance of any other — so much 
so, that we refrained from sending out any more of the ordinary shape and colour, however good in 
substance, &c., until wo got quite away from the usual type. Those now oll'ered are in all respects 
much beyond what we have ever seen before, single medium size flowers, with a lovely frilled edge, 
giving them the appearance of having been gaull'ered with the hand. 
AVALANCHE — Pure white, slightly tinted, mcilinm .size flowers, lait beautifully fimbriated 
round edge ; distinct 
SUEZ — Deep crimson, edged pure white 
BOLUS — Pure white, barred light purple. 
4s. each. 
VIOLA, MRS. LANGTRY. 
Many as there are in this family, none possesses the distinctness of this variety. Ground colour 
pure white, with a most charming and attractive large bright blue blotch in centre of flower ; habit 
good, one of the most .striking bedding A'iolas and producing Pansy-like flowers ever sent out, and 
almost a perpetual bloomer. 
Is. each ; 7s. per dozen ; 40s. per 100.
