A Rare New Flower l 
Among hundreds of new flowers in our grounds the 
past season, few attracted such attention as 
The Amaranthus Gibosus 
now first introduced into America, and of which we 
believe we have The ONLY PERFECTLY } 
PURE SEED. It grows rapidly from seed, and | 
flowers early the first summer, and is exacily like \ 
the illustration, which, however, fails to give a fair 
idea of its unique and striking beauty. Ot I 
strong, tree-like and majestic growth, it pre¬ 
sents a tropical appearance with its bright purplish- 
red flowers on graceful, drooping panicles, two and 
a half feet in length. It will attract attention and 
admiration everywhere ; thrives in common garden 
soil, and blooms all summer. Packet, io cents.
