(Corporation). _ 
CARNATION, MARGUERITE. Yellow. The color of this new early flowering carnation is a welcome addition, as 
it practically completes the variety of color wanted. About 50 per cent come true to color. Pkt., 25 cts. 
CYCLAMEN. Large Flowered, Double. An entirely new 
variety from Persia. The introducer says: ‘‘It has been 
very difficult to obtain double flowers of the large 
Persian cyclamen, and while the type is not yet perfect 
it has so many good qualities that it is deemed worthy 
of introduction to the flower-loving public. The flowers 
are of beautiful form, and the richness of their colors 
yield to none of the older single sorts. They are with¬ 
out doubt of first merit and will increase the loveliness 
of the entire family by contrast.’’ Pkt., 50 cts. 
CELOSIA. Ostrich Feather. This new Celosia produces 
very large plumes, which are exquisitely curved and 
curled like an ostrich feather. The plant grows about 
3 feet high, is of handsome pyramidal form, and is effective 
for either pot or outdoor cultivation. It requires the 
same treatment as the ordinary Cockscomb. 
Crimson. Pkt., 10 cts. 
Orange. Pkt., 10 cts. 
New Double-Flowered Cyclamen. 
CENTAUREA CHAMELEON. Similar in habit 
and attractiveness to the Margaret Centaurca, intro¬ 
duced two years ago. The flowers are pale sulphur- 
yellow with a purple shading. Pkt., 10 cts. 
Margaret Distinct from all other Centaureas and 
undoubtedly the most beautiful variety known. 
The large flowers are of purest white, deliciously 
scented, and freely produced on long stems. Pkt., 
10 cts. 
Centaurea Margaret. 
“ Your strain of Primula Chiuensis Pimbriata 
is very fine; it surpasses any I ever grew, both 
in size of flowers and variety and quality of 
colors. John Husband, 
Belmont, Mass . 
Dlanthus Laciniatus Nanus. 
DIANTHUS LACINIATUS NANUS. New Hybrids. New 
strain of the annual Pinks with laciniated or fringed petals. 
This novelty differs from the well-known I). Laciniatus by its 
lower growth and its somewhat smaller, less fringed but much 
finer colored flowers. The latter, varying in all shades from 
white to deep rose and even to purplish-red, are all tinged more 
or less with bright salmon red or salmony scarlet" and are 
distinguished by a dark ring round the centre. A group of 
this new tribe in full bloom presents a beautiful and distinct 
aspect on account of these charming salmon colorings, and of 
the great diversity of designs. Pkt., 15 cts. 
Dianthus Superbus Telekeii. A new cross between Superbus 
and Laciniatus. It is a hardy perennial of robust growth that 
flowers incessantly from June until frost. The flowers, which 
are double and single, vary in all shades of color known amongst 
Chinese Pinks. Pkt., 15 cts. 
DATURA. Golden Queen. This variety has all the fine quali¬ 
ties of the popular D. Cornucopia , but, on account of its bril¬ 
liant yellow flowers, it is a more showy and effective plant. 
From seed sown in the open ground, it grows in a single sea on 
to a height of feet, forming a compact bushy plant. The 
flowers are of gigantic size, many of them 10 inches long, very 
double and produced in great numbers. Pkt,, 10 cts.
