HARTLANDS “GOLDEN QUILLED ' DOUBLE 
PERENNIAL SUNFLOWER. 
N OW is the time to ask for a Sixpenny Box of “Specimen 
Blooms,” to prevent any hitherto implied imposition, and 
get orders “ booked ” for November delivery. Within the entire 
range of hardy perennials there is nothing finer. Its colour and 
floret formation is in appearance like an immense bloom of 
Madame Domage Chrysanthemum, or the very finest form of 
Orange Quilled African Marigold. Quite distinct. Plants at 
fall, Is. 6i. each, with 3d. extia if sent by post.

NEW FERN, 1889-Adiantum Y/altonii diffusum. 
This fine variety of A. Waltonii (T. Moore) is now being 
offered for the first time, and which we have every confidence 
in recommending to the general public, to whom we feel 
certain it will give every satisfaction, either as a specimen 
plant or for cutting, the Fronds being light and graceful, 
triangular in form, three to five times divided, from 2 to 2£ ft 
in length, and when mature are of a pleasing shade of glaucous 
green." All who have seen the parent plant have pronounced 
it to be a great acquisition.
