The well-known single form of B. Yernon lias established 
itself in the affections of all plants lovers. Its cheerful 
aspect and perpetual-blooming qualities, through thick and 
thin make it a most charming plant. These new Double 
Yernons from France are in no respect different from the 
single., except the flowers are larger and double. Truly 
they are attractive flowers,-borne in large clusters, and with 
a freedom that is surprising. Every day the year round 
shows them in their radiant beauty. There is certainly no 
other plant producing fine double flowers in such quantity 
the year round as does this. It is adapted to any window or 
porch, or it may be bedded out in summer. In any position 
it is always a prize bloomer, and beautiful in foliage.

(Luxuriant— A great profusion of luxuriant foliage and mag¬ 
nificent flowers, and strong tuberous roots. Leaves the 
size of B. Bex, dark velvety green, tinged with black; 
underneath, brilliant cherry-red. Flowers are borne in 
magnificent, large, drooping clusters. White, slightly 
tinged pink. Perfectly magnificent. 
®ismarck —Same style, habit and foliage as B. Bubra, but 
a more magnificent plant, growing often three to four 
feet high. Its flowers are large and borne in enormous 
pendulous panicles; deep coral red. One of the most 
magnificent flowering plants it is possible to have. 
sMastodon —Luxuriant-growing plant with large, handsome 
leaves and clusters of pink blossoms the size and shape 
of good Tuberous-Bootecl varieties. By far the largest 
and most magnillent flowers of the fibrous-rooted or pot 
class. The shape of the'blossoms is perfect, and the color 
soft and delicate. 
<Credneri —A strong grower with immense leaves which are 
very handsome. Flowers, blush and rose, covered with 
silky hairs, and borne in clusters often as large as a 
bunch of Hydrangea blossoms. No description can do it 
justice.

Begopia, 
TBberoUs-Rooted Rex. 
A decided Novelty,which originated on our place. In foli¬ 
age and growth it in no respect differs materially from the 
•common B. Bex, but the crown or base forms a tuber after 
•the style of B. Weltoniensis, which may be dried off and 
.kept in that state like common Tuberous-Booted Begonias, 
and when replanted will start at once a strong growth of 
beautiful foliage. It is a Novelty which will be welcomed, and 
3ias already created a great amount of comment. Plants 30c. 
each; 4 for $1.00. Seed, 20c. per pkt. 
Vernon Double Crimson— Deep and rich. Foliage rich 
bronze in open air, and very handsome. 
Fine plants, 25c, each; the 3 for 60c. Seed, mixed, 20c. per pM.
