grown specimen is an object of great beauty, and at 
once attracts notice. 15 cts. 
HEiT'We bought part of our stock of Mrs. Alpheus 
Hardy last spring, and some of them proved to be 
Louis Boehmer. If any who purchased plants from 
us found them not true to name, and will mention the 
fact when they order from us this spring, we will 
send them a true Mrs. Alpheus Hardy. 
Mrs. E. W. Clarke. A beautiful flower of regular 
form, with slightly incurved, whorled center; deep 
rich crimson-magenta, of a pleasing shade. 
Mrs. J. Lewis Childs. The flowers are of enor- 
mous size, of the incurved Japanese type, nearly as 
round as a ball and as white as snow : they are borne 
the entire length of the long branches, and are of 
great substance and unsurpassed beauty ; late. 
Just look at our club-list ! $20 worth of plants for only $10.
