NeW ^blitilons. 
Unlike the ordinary Abutilons of scraggy growth, they 
are very compact and short jointed, making a neat pot plant. 
The flowers are the most beautiful we have ever seen among 
Abutilons, being very large, yet short mid beautifully cupped 
and of the most lovely colors. It is safe to say that, these 
varieties will produce five times as much bloom as others. 
Infanta Eulalia— '1'iiis is perfection itself. Plants dwarf 
and short jointed, producing exquisite large cupped blos¬ 
soms by the score from the time the plant is four inches 
high. Blooms all the time, summerand winter. Color a 
most beautiful soft satin pink. 
Wm. McKinley Like the above except in color, which ia a 
beautiful clear lemon yellow of exquisite loveliness.

Qtabeite Orange. 
An extra line pot plant with glossy green leaves, the true 
fragrant orange blossoms and abundant little bright oranges, 
that will hang on the little bush like halls of gold for six 
months after they are ripe. They will bloom and fruit in a 
two-inch pot. and we have seen a plant in a common window 
that was 15 inches high and had 23 oranges on it. When in 
good sunlight they are never out of fruit from one year’s 
end to another, and at least two-thirds of the time are in 
flower also. The frnit is very sweet and handsome. Could 
we have but one plant in our window it would be an Otnheite 
Orange. In beauty, grace and fragrance there is nothing 
like its delicate leaf-sprays of liloom. so indescribably ex¬ 
quisite. dainty, lovely and adorable. Fine plants for bloom¬ 
ing afid fruiting at once, 80c. ench : 3 for 50c. 
Regooia Verpop. 
No other kinds of flowering Begonias can begin to com¬ 
pare with the varieties of B, Vernon for beauty and constant 
bloom. They are so much superior to others that we have 
concluded tooffer.none hut these. Plants (lower perpetually 
all the year round, the plants being completely covered with 
bloom at all times, especially during winter.
