Sunflower. “Oscar Wilde.”. The famous Newport Corsage 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 are 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 .15 
Sunflower. Variegated Dwarf. A very ornamental variety, with splen- 
did green and yellow variegated foliage. Fine for general culture, but especially 
recommended for planting singly on lawns 15 
^•Tropeeolum, Tom Thumb. “ Empress of India.’’ This new vari- 
ety is of dwarf, compact habit, like “ King of Tom Thumbs,” with dark tinted 
foliage, and flowers of deep brilliant crimson, but much deeper and richer than in 
the variety just named. A valuable addition to the King of Tom Thumb varieties. 
Annual 
Viola Odorata. Munbyana. A fine novelty among violets, recommended as 
hardy, very free-blooming, and excellent for edging 25 
Xeranthemum Annuum Superbissimum. A new globe-flowered, very 
double variety, by far the best Xeranthemum hitherto known, which will be 
found indispensable for all who make use of dried flowers
