Hollyhock. This variety resembles a Hollyhock very much. Its extended front 
guard, or outer rounded petal, stands out beyond the double-rosette centre 
petals ; brilliant scarlet, shaded yellow ; a double guinea. 
Joyful Improved. Individual flowers and trusses ; very large and fine, and is 
what its name implies ; soft magenta, with a distinct edging of orange-scarlet. 
Lady Reed. A grand improvement in oculated varieties; pure white, with a 
large, scarlet centre ; shape and size of petals almost equal to the scarlet 
section. 
La Cygne. • 
Lord Derby. So large and bright, both pip and truss, that at first sight it looks 
like one huge mass of fiery pink. 
Mrs. Bowen. A beautiful blush-color, distinct and pleasing ; dwarf, bushy habit. 
Mrs. Robertson. Very free and dwarf, flowers and trusses large ; bright rose- 
pink. 
Mr. J. Barriff. A most useful variety for growing into specimens, quite distinct 
in color ; deep rosy salmon, with a very intense orange-scarlet centre ; trusses 
large and freely produced. 
Pharos. Another step towards a perfect double white, although no whiter than 
others ; it has a larger pip and truss, with a free, fine habit. 
Queen of the Belgians. This variety is certainly the best single white yet pro- 
duced, and brings the whites nearly up to the size and shape of the colored 
varieties. 
Price, 50 cts. each. 
NEW BOURBON ROSE. 
Malmaison Rouge. A sprout from the well-known Souvenir de la Malmaison, 
possessing all the qualities of that variety, with deep velvety red flowers ; a 
most valuable variety. 
Price, 50 cts. each ; $5.00 per doz. 
DOUBLE WHITE VIOLET. 
Swanley White. By far the best Double White Violet in cultivation. It very 
much resembles the good old “ Neapolitan” in growth, with a larger flower 
and flower foot-stalks, and is for choice bouquets and cut-flowers quite a gem. 
Price, 35 cts. each.
