A. B. DAVIS & SON, PURCELL VILLE. VIRGINIA. 
ALTERHAHTHERA, continued. 
Aurea Nana. Bright golden yellow, holding its color 
well the entire season. 
Paron.vchoides Major. Crimson, scarlet and pink; 
its gorgeous coloring gives it the name of Rainbow 
Plant. This and Aurea Nana are the most used for 
ribbon lines and massing. 
Spat It ulat a. Leaves tinted carmine and green. 
Versicolor. Foliage ovale, olive, crimson and choco- 
late ; when used for edgings it must be frequently 
sheared ; the young tips will then assume most bril- 
ANTHEM1S CORONAR1A fl. pi. 
Hew Double Yellow Daisy. 
A beautiful new plant. Nothing could be more showy, 
either as a pot plant or bedded out, than a well- 
grown specimen of this plant, which, as has been 
said by admirers, might well be called the 
“Shower of Gold,’’ as it is a perfect mass of rich, 
golden yellow flowers, the whole year round, io cts. 
BOUVARDIAS. 
A beautiful class of shrubby plants with corymbs of 
white, rose, crimson and scarlet flowers, that appear 
during thef fall and winter. Should be in every collec- 
tion of winter-flowering plants, as they well repay cul- 
tivation. 15 cents.

President Garfield. Double pink. 
Davidsoni. Single white. 
Dazzler. Rich scarlet ; single. 
Elegans. Light scarlet-carmine.

riety, with intense dazzling scarlet flowers of large

Ilogarthi fl. pi. This is a beautiful new double 
variety, with light scarlet-carmine flowers of extra 
large size. It is a very valuable sort for cut-flower 
purposes, and is fully equal to the old Hogarth in 
all its admirable blooming qualities and size of flow- 
ers. 
Humboldt ii. Long, graceful tubes, expanding into 
a floret of the purest white. By far the largest 
single Bouvardia, and carrying a distinct odor of 
Jasmine. 
liant hues. 
ABELIA RUPESTR1S. 
A neat little shrub from China. It is 
evergreen, and the rosy-white flowers come 
in clusters at the ends of the branches ; 
del irately perfumed. Blooms in fall and 
winter. 10 cents. 
AMARYLLIS. 
Two beautiful sorts noted for their easeof 
culture and free blooming qualities. 
Johnsonii. One of the most gorgeous 
bulbous plants grown. We have seen 
specimens of a few years’ growth that 
completely filled a window. Nothing is 
more showy than this grand plant during 
late winter or early spring. It bears 
large flowers of intense crimson, with a 
delicate white feather in each petal. It 
is most superb. 50 cents. 
Formosissima. (Sprekelia.) This is the 
gem of its family. A wonderfully sturdy 
grower that never, with fair treatment, 
fails to bloom. It is a continuous bloomer, 
flowering repeatedly during the season. 
Flowers very large, petals broad and 
very firm ; intense velvety crimson ; the 
shape and color of the flowers are most 
striking. 25 cents. 
ACHILLEA ALBA, fl. ph 
No flower is more worthy of a place in 
every garden in the land than this. It is 
a hardy perennial, the top dying down to 
the ground every winter. Its many branches 
grow to the length of two or three feet, 
but droop, holding their great masses of 
flowers about a foot above the soil. A plant 
will produce hundreds and even thousands 
of beautiful white flowers the first summer. 
Owing to its great vigor and hardiness, it 
can be planted in large quantities in any 
waste place, where it will produce a great 
abundance of beautiful flowers for cuttings. 
15 cents. 
BOUVARDIA, ALFRED NEUNER. 
Onr pot-grown Tomato Plants are fine.
