TJSU-GESHO (Inc. Jap.)— A most captivating variety, being perfectly distinct, and producing 
large bold flowers of a refined character, the ground colour being of a light lilac-pink, and reverse 
of broad well-incurving petals of a lovely pink-tinted silvery shade. Several plants of this, when 
grouped together, form a most attractive feature; of good growth. 3 to 4 ft. high. Early 
terminals. 2s. 
SHINK-A-GARIBI— We are putting this variety forward, knowing that it will be found a 
most useful free-flowering kind for market or cutting purposes, it being almost the same fashionable 
colour, which has been so much in request, as Col W. B, Snit*hi but of a much stronger constitution, 
and more lasting properties in the flowers. This alone will cause it to be generally grown where a 
quantity of bloom is required of a golden-bronze and terra-cotta colour,

MISS ANNIE HOLDEN (YELLOW MARY ANDERSON)— The much admired blneh- 
white variety sent out by us several years ago. It being so beautiful and perfect in formation, 
left nothing to be desired, and all lovers of this class speak and write of it as being the very best of 
its kind. Tlie above new variety we now have the pleasure of introducing is a sport, and in every 
way identical, except in colour, which is of a lovely canary-yellow slightly tinged buff, and it will 
thus readily be concluded what a gem this will prove to be to all who delight in home decoration. 
Awarded several First-Class Certificates. Is. 6d. 
THE ECHO— The variety named Miss Rose, sent out by us several years ago, is constantly 
being mentioned in the gardening papers as a most useful and necessary kind for the conservato^, 
owin'* to it forming into such beautifully shaped specimens, and well covered with flowers. The 
novefty we now offer is equally as effective, but producing flowers of a distinct shade of terra 
cotta ; medium-size flowers ; dwarf, bushy habit. Is.

TIME PROVES ALL THINGS. 
It has proved, without hardly a single exception, that all the new things we have had the pleasure 
of sending out during the last twenty-five years have become standard varieties and general 
favourites everywhere, and we feel assured the following varieties we are now distributing, and 
described below for the first time, will carry our reputation to a still higher degree. It is rein^ark 
a’lle that all ours develop more and mure with time, and ultimately liecome acquisitions both for 
exhiiiition and general decorative purposes. These are of splendid growth, dwarf habited, like our 
Avalanche and Col. W. B. Smith, freely producing good show flowers of easy culture, and will 
become equally as popular as onr £■ Molyneux and Sunflower, varieties that are well known and 
vnined thronghout the world. It should also be further remembered that onr pure country air and 
best adapted appliances for producing the finest possible plants to grow on are of immense 
advantage to those who wish and intend to succeed.
