CLARKSVILLE, TENN.

graceful appearance as Ivory has when at its 
best. The habit of the plant is rather dwarf and 
not ranch inclined to branching; the short 
jointed shoots growing lip to a height of three 
teetand forming a large crown bud with a small 
number of much smaller laterals. The stem 
intervening between flower and leaves is short 
and strong, thus placing the. .flower in an erect 
position on the centre of the branch, clad in a 
rich, luxuriant foliage. Price $1.00 each. 
BEAU IDEAL. 
According to our judgment this variety is as 
good as any of the foregoing, or we should not 
offer it here, as this year we had decided to list 
only those sorts that are away above high water 
mark. Beau Ideal is a bright rose pink, without, 
touch of lavender shadings. The form is a 
somewhat flat incurved, the outer petals hori- 
zontal, showing the bright pink, the incurving 
centre showing a lighter shade. The petals are 
broad and of good substance, (lower of fine size, 
stem stiff, foliage first-rate. A good grower; 
everything that can be desired as a cut flower. 
It is in perfection about October 25th. We know 
of no variety that will compare with it in purity 
and brightness of tone, while in sizeaiid general 
make-up it is as good as the best. Price $1.00 
each. 
INTER OCEAN. 
Owing to somewhat limited quantity . this va- 
riety could only be staged at Chicago, where the 
vase of six blooms took first premium for best 
any color. This is a grand novelty of the gen- 
eral type of V. Morel, from which it is a seed- 
ling. The color is a delightful, glittering, pearly 
white, with light suffusion of pink. Petals of 
great substance, recurving, forming a flower 
one-third larger than the usual V. Morel. The 
stems are very stiff, the foliage extremely hand- 
Our New 
some, and is carried very close to the flower. 
Price $1.00 each. 
EUGENE DAILLEDOUZE. 
There is nothing brighter or clearer among 
yellows; the centre is folded close, like Kioto, 
the outer petals are broad and incurving. and of 
great substance. It is full to the last degree, of 
great ‘depth; and perfect in- farm. Tin- flowers 
are tine without exception, not a poor bloom 
among them, and the foliage is uniformly per- 
fect irom ground to flower, not coarse nor large, 
but plentiful. This variety requires far less dis- 
dudding than any other of our acquaintance. 
Its keeping qualities: The Philadelphia corres- 
pondent of tlu* American Florist says: “Kugenc 
Dailledouse, a magnificent yellow, seemed as 
fresh the last day of the show as it did the first.”
