EVERETT & GLEASON’S 
FLOWER SEEDS. A few choice and recently introduced varieties 
(promising well), with grower’s description, to which attention is invited. 
(j^r* Amphicarpeea monoica. A tuberous-rooted papilionaceous hardy climber, 
as powerful a grower as the Scarlet Runner, and as pretty in flower as Kennedyas, .25 
Calendula Officinalis “ Meteor.” New splendid variety of the Pot Mar- 
igold, with very large and beautifully imbricated, extremely double striped flow- 
ers, the colors being of a bright deep orange on a pale straw-colored, almost white 
ground. A showy and profuse bloomer, and particularly well adapted for bed- 
ding purposes 
jgp* Cyclamen Grandiflorum. This variety represents the finest strain of 
Cyclamen in cultivation. The flowers are remarkable for their unusual large 
size, great substance, finish and form of petals, and their unique brilliancy and 
attractive coloring. Three named varieties: 
Picturatum, white ground suffused with pink, claret base ) The 
Rosy Morn, clear, bright, delicate rose j collection ® 2-26 
Duke of Connaught, rich purplish crimson ) 
The above three varieties, mixed, per packet 1-00 
Gnaphalium decurrens. A perennial, forming a dense, compact, branch- 
ing bush, about twelve inches high, out of which rise numerous heads of white 
flowers in dense clusters. It can be treated as an annual, as it comes to perfec- 
tion the first season when sown early. The neat globular flowers are sure to be- 
come great favorites amongst Everlastings, being more elegant than Antennaria, 
used so extensively at present —while, at same time, the plant is of easy growth . .50 
jgp- Lobelia Erinus Grandiflora Duplex atroecerulea. A new double 
form of the large-flowering Lobelia, reproducing itself quite constant from seed; 
of much longer duration of bloom than the single varieties 15 
Hgf* Megarrhiza californica. A new, very rapid growing cucurbitacea of ele- 
gant habit and handsome appearance, very rapid in growth, attaining a length of 
20 to 30 feet in one season. The leaves have a beautiful silvery gloss, flowers 
small, in slender racemes, while the oblong-shaped fruits, about two inches long, 
are densely covered with stout spines similar to those of Echinocystis lobata. 
The plant developes fully, grown as an annual, but can be cultivated as a peren- 
nial, as it produces long and large tuberous roots Seeds, each, .50 
Pansy, Bugnot’s Paris International. A superb strain, comprising 
the most beautiful of the magnificent varieties exhibited by Mr. Bugnot, a cel- 
ebrated cultivator, on the grounds of the late Paris Exhibition 60 
Petunia Hybrida Robusta Flore Pleno. A new, most distinct, and 
remarkable novelty, of very compact and symmetrical growth. The flowers are 
both smooth m&fringed-petaled, of the most beautiful shades, and are so freely 
produced that a fully developed plant has all the semblance of an artificially made 
bouquet 50 
Petunia Grandiflora Fimbriata FI. PI. A magnificent large double 
fringed variety, of exquisite form and coloring, rivaling in delicacy and rich- 
ness of tints the finest carnations 50 
Petunia Grandiflora, Single Fringed. A beautiful variety, with large 
flowers finely fringed 50 
Petunia Hybrida Nana Compacta Multiflora. A new dwarf vari- 
ety, each plant forming a compact and densely-branched bush, 5 to 8 inches high 
by as much in diameter, and a remarkably profuse bloomer. The flowers begin 
to open when the plants are but three inches high, and are of a brilliant cherry- 
red, each one marked with a regularly formed white star 50 
Primula Sinensis Fimbriata “ Vesuvius.” A magnificent Primula. 
The rich brilliant crimson-scarlet flowers are of immense size, elegantly fringed 
and of great substance. Superb 1-25
