KYERETT & GLEASON’S 
Petunia Hybrida Eobusta Flore Pleno. A new most distinct, and 
remarkable novelty, of very compact and symmetrical growth. I he flowers are 
both swooth and fringed^peialcd^ of the most beautiful shades, and J^e so freely 
produced that a fully developed plant has all tlie semblance of an artificially made 
bouquet 
Petunia Grandiflora Fimbriata PI. PI. A magnificent large double 
variety, of exquisite form and coloring, rivaling in delicacy and richness 
of tints the finest carnations 
Petunia Grandiflora, Single Fringed. A beauiiful variety, with large 
flowers finely fringed 
Petunia Hybrida, New Dwarf Inimitable. A new dwarf vane»y, 
each plant forming a compact and densely-branched bush, five to eight 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 
Primula Sinensis Fimbriata “Vesuvius.” A magnificent Primula. 
The rich brilliant crimson-scarlet flowers are of immense size, elegantly fringed 
and of great substance. Superb 
Primula Sinensis Umbellata Alba. A fine new, robust growing Prim- 
ula, very floriferous, and produced in umbels 
Primula Sinensis Cristata Nana Alba. This is a highly interesting 
and distinct French race. The plant is of a dwarf and deiise habit of growth, 
with foliage crimped or curled like Malva Crispa. Its charming flowers, of snow- 
white with a pale yellow eye, are acutely dentated and show a tendency to become 
double 
Pyrethrum Aureum Selaginoides. The flat foliage of this charming 
new and distinct variety resembles two fronds of a species of Fern, overlaying 
each other; a peculiarity which gives to the dwarf and compact plant a particu- 
larly fine and even appearance. The fact of its not flowering the first year, is a 
great recommendation, as the constant pinching back so necessary with the 
• variety P. Aureum, is entirely obviated. It cannot fail to become a most popular 
variety . . . . . 
Reseda Odorata, Golden Queen. An attractive and distinct variety of 
Mignonette, of dense pyramidal habit of growth. It throws up very numerous 
flower-stalks, terminated by spikes of golden yellow blossoms, which, with the 
bright green foliage of the plant, forms a pleasing contrast 
Reseda Odorata, Galloway’s White. A true white variety of Mig- 
nonette, recommended as the best pure white yet introduced 
Salvia Farinacea. This will doubtless become a general favorite. The 
plants from early sown seed begin to bloom as early as July, the flowers of a light 
blue on erect spikes nine to eighteen inches long, and not only the flowers, but 
the wooly-haired bracts, colored from light to dark blue, which keep on for 
months, constitute a large portion of the beauty of the plant. One of the showiest 
and most useful blue-flowering Annuals 
Stock, Ten Weeks, New Giant Perfection. Splendid race of 
pyramidal growth, with long spikes of beautiful large double flowers. Height 
two and one half feet. Very fine for open ground culture. White and enmson 
mixed 
Sunflower. “ Oscar Wilde.** The famous Newport Covsa« Sunflower. An 
entirely distinct variety, which originated at Newport, R. I. During last season 
at this noted watering-place, hundreds were worn daily by the ladies as Corsage 
Flowers. The plant is dwarf and pyramidal in form, flowers arc small, with jet 
black centre surrounded with an overlapping row of broad, deep, golden yellow 
petals, and are produced in the greatest abundance from June until killed by frost. 
Viola Odorata, Munbyana. A fine novelty among violets, recommended 
as hardy, very free blooming, and excellent for edging
