Legion of Honor—A most sterling variety. Plant very 
dwarf and compact, bearing its flowers well above the 
foliage. These are of large size and exceedingly strik¬

©liter half is fine golden yellow. It is really the pretti¬

garden. It blooms profusely all summer, and in autumn 
especially, the whole plant is a solid pyramid of bloom. . 5

Nicotiana, SyWestris. 
We regret that space does not permit us to show a, cut 
of this beautiful plant. It is a magnificent garden orna¬ 
ment, growing five feet high, with large, handsome leaves, 
making it a grand foliage plant. It also bears large, branch¬ 
ing panicles of long, tubular, white flowers, which are very 
handsome and fragrant, each panicle showing as many as 50 
flowers at a time.... .10 
Nicotiapa. 
Fine for separate clumps or masses, or for the center ©f 
beds of evening bloomers. One of the easiest of all plants 
to grow, and equally fine for outdoor culture or for winter 
blooming in pots. Its long, tubular, star-pointed flowers are 
pure white, exceedingly fragrant and very profusely borne. 
It is one of the few plants that will flower well without a 
single ray of direct sunshine, and, for shaded grounds and. 
north windows, it is invaluable. . Per pkt.

soms borne for months without intermission........ 6 
Deourrens—A dwarfer and more branching variety than 
Affinis, equally beautiful and even more profuse. ...... .10
