mauve, pink, yellow, &c., with the most exquisite blendings. ^ 01 P^t. Is.

Sultans, growing about 2J feet high, and producing quite an abundance of large sweet-scented flowers of the most 
novel and beautiful shades of colour, varying from pure white to lilac, rose and white, mauve to deep bright

found of great value for cutting. Choice mixed, per pkt. 0d. and Is. 
CLARKIA ELEGANS FL. PL. Carmine Queen, a very distinct new variety, growing about 
2 feet in height, bearing remarkably fine double flowers of a bright salmon scarlet colour. A really beautiful and 
showy plant for garden decoration, and much earlier than others of the same class. Per pkt. 6d. 
DIMORPHOTHECA AURANTIACA. (See Plate.) A rare and extremely showy half-hardy annual from 
Namaqualand, S. Africa. The plants grow about 12 or 15 inches high, are of a neat branchy habit and 
exceedingly profuse in flowering. Its pretty marguerite-like blossoms are about 2J inches in diameter, and are 
of a brilliant rich orange-gold colour, and are made more conspicuous by a dark coloured disc surrounded by a 
black zone. This is a splendid showy annual for beds or groups on the border. It blooms very early after 
planting out and continues to flower throughout the Summer. We can highly recommend this. Per pkt. Is. 
GERBERA JAMESONI— New Hybrids. ( See Plate.) A magnificent strain of new varieties of this 
charming and interesting plant from the Transvaal. The colours of the flowers are of incomparable delicacy and 
richness, with almost an infinity of tints ranging from pure white through all the shades of yellow, orange, salmon, 
rose, cerise, scarlet, ruby, and violet. The beautiful light starry flowers are borne on long rigid stems, and are delight- 
ful as cut flowers, lasting a long time in perfection. They are easily raised from seeds sown in pots of sandy peat, and 
placed in a gentle heat. The young plants must be kept only moderately moist, and if potted on into sandy peat 
and loam, and re-potted as growth advances, may be had in bloom in from seven to nine months. The plants will 
thrive in the greenhouse, or may be planted in a sunny sheltered spot in the garden. Per pkt. 2s. 6d. 
GODETIA — Crimson Glow. A splendid new Godetia that will be in great request when known. It forms 
a compact little bush about nine inches high, completely smothered with flowers of the most dazzling intense 
crimson. A bed of this variety produces a vivid effect, the intensity of which it is impossible to describe. 
We highly recommend this as one of the most brilliant and effective of hardy Annuals. Per pkt. fid. & Is. 
NASTURTIUM, Queen of Tom Thumbs. New Rosy Scarlet, a new and very beautiful 
dwarf-growing variety with lovely rosy scarlet flowers, which show up well above the handsome variegated

NASTURTIUM, Tall Queen. New Hybrids. A beautiful new class of tall Nasturtiums with hand- 
some variegated foliage. The mixture we offer includes some 10 or 12 brilliant shades of colour. The beautiful 
flowers, with the variegated leaves, are splendidly effective when grown on trellis work. Per pkt. fid. and Is. 
NEW POPPY— Charles Darwin. This splendid annual Poppy, which grows about 2i feet high, is 
remarkable for the quite new and unique colour of its numerous flowers, the smooth-edged petals being of a 
striking rich dark purple, each marked from the base with a large velvety black spot. A dense wreath of 
white anthers in the centre of the flower produces a fine contrast with the striking colour of the petals. Per pkt. Is.
