General List of Greenhouse and Bedding-Plants. 
ACHYRANTHUS. 
' Indispensable for bedding 
purposes, either in masses or 
ribboning, their brilliant tint- 
ed leaves forming a marked 
contrast with all other plants. 
Being much hardier than co- 
leus, they are sometimes con- 
sidered preferable for massing 
and ribbon lines. 8 cts. each, 
$5 per 100. 
Aurea Reticulata. Yellow, 
green and crimson, making 
a beautiful combination of 
rich colors. 
Gilsoni. Deep crimson; 
heart-shaped leaves.

BUTTERCUP CARNATION. 
The well-known Century- 
plant; very decorative in ap- 
pearance on a lawn. Strong 
plants, by express, 50 cents 
each. 
CARNATIONS. 
As a summer bedder and winter bloomer, 
the Carnation is without a rival. Young 
plants should be planted out in April or 
early May, in good, strong soil. If intended 
for winter-blooming, pinch back the young 
growth every four or five weeks to form 
bushy plants until the middle of August. 
In September take up the plants, and when 
potting give them plenty of drainage. If 
placed in a pit or a light sunshiny window 
with a night temperature not above 60°, 
they will give a profusion of beautiful fra- 
grant blooms all winter. 10 cents each. 
Anna Webb. A new carnatian of great 
value, being the darkest in color in the 
entire collection ; exceedingly fragrant 
and attractive. 
Buttercup. Beautiful bright yellow, with 
a few crimson stripes on a margin of 
petals; a magnificent carnation. These 
elegant plants are always covered with 
large, fragrant flowers.
