Evergreen Lodge, 
ing: it is very nearly white in color, only 
showing a touch of pearl-pink at the base 
of the petals: a strong grower, carrying 
flowers on stiff stems: the blooms of this 
variety sold at $9.00 per dozen over the 
counter at Philadelphia last Fall, 
Tohn Goode. This is almost globular in 
form, of the finest silky finish, and des- 
tined to become a standard sort for cut- 
ting: the outer petals are of a delicate 
lavender, forming a decided band of 
color, the inner petals arc clear lemon: 
a plant in bloom has a most beautiful 
airy appearance: it is a light, willowy 
grower, though strong and healthy; in 
all but color it resembles the popular 
variety, Mrs. George Bullock. 
R. Maitre. Not surpassed by any pink in 
cultivation: of the largest size, perfectly 
double, and without a trace of coarse- 
ness;, this variety will take rank with 
the finest: a splendid keeper, of most 
symmetrical form, and a thrifty grower: 
it perfects numerous flowers to the single 
plant : one of the six varieties which 
took the hundred dollar premium at 
Indianapolis: the color is delicate and 
exq uisi tely beauti f uL 
Philip Breitmeyer. A most distinct va- 
riety. having heavy stems and foliage of 
light yellowish green : the flower is of 
the brightest golden yellow, extremely 
double: petals rather short and of heavy 
texture : of.Melianehus form : we predict 
that this will rank among the foremost 
as a pot variety, and also as a cut flower. 
Mrs. I. I). Sailer. A flower of the largest 
size, finely incurving with broad, sharply 
pointed petals: a strong grower, produc- 
ing heavy flower stems : the color is soft 
shell-pink, touched with lemon on the 
extreme tips of petals: its keening qual- 
ities after cutting are extraordinary: as 
shown by W. K. Harris, it is one-t bird 
larger.than Ada Spalding, and nearly a 
globe in form. 
Sugar Eoaf. It is the freest growing and 
freest flowering sort that we know, and 
under the most ordinary treatment pro- 
duces quantities of flowers of the grand- 
est size : the outer petals recurve slightly, 
while the inner rows incurve: the color 
is varying shades of yellow, often shaded 
bronze, sometimes perfectly clear: a 
giant grower, with corresponding con- 
stitution : this variety took the fifty dol- 
lar premium as the best seedling at the 
rincinnati show, and was one of six to 
win tin* hundred dollars at Indianapolis. 
Extra large flowers can be cut with long, 
straight stems.
