Brazen Shield. —A most remarkable variety ol the highest merit, large flower ol 
regular outline and globular shape. The color is entirely distinct, being a rich

Fabias de Hadranaz. —In the engraving above I present to my customers a new 
type ol Chrysanthemum, called Anemone Japanese, lately brought forward in 
Europe. The Illustration is somewhat reduced, the original being nearly a quar¬ 
ter larger than the flgure here produced. It is very elegant in lorm, having a 
large high disc, or center, ol a rosy-lilac shade, tipped with white, the guard pe¬ 
tals hanging almost perpendicularly, from three to four inches long or more, ol 
a soft shade of pink, stripped with a deeper tint. It is so entirely distinct from 
any other variety that it must become a great favorite for home decoration or 
exhibition purposes. (See cut on preceding page.)

flower being over three Inches in diameter, and one ol the very earliest in bloom. 
Truly a beauty.

STORM KING. 
f?UG[)sia, 
T his beautiful novel¬ 
ty, introduced a 
couple ol years 
since, is a decided acqui¬ 
sition, and deserves a 
place in every garden. 
Our stock is genuine, 
and we give the descrip¬ 
tion ol the introducer: 
This grand plant is ol 
the most beautiful weep¬ 
ing habit. The branches, 
drooping as they do, lend 
the plant a charming 
grace which is rarely 
found. Branches nu¬ 
merous, leaves small and 
numerous, and ol the 
most beautiful, glowing 
green. The bnds, for 
two weeks before they 
expand, are balls ol 
glowing, scarlet crimson. 
The flowers continue to 
grow larger and larger 
after they expand. The 
sepals are of the same 
glowing scarlet crimson 
as the buds, while the 
large double corolla is of 
delicate, waxy whiteness, 
elegantly penciled with 
deep, bright crimson. 
Its flowering qualities are 
most remarkable, for it 
is never out ol bloom 
when in a healthy condi¬ 
tion. To keep a plant 
blooming all the time, 
many ol the buds must 
at times be removed, or 
the plant will bloom it¬ 
self to death.

ought to be without Roses when they can get such a choice collection for so small an 
amount. W. H. Gibson.

The order for flowers in 
April came in due time 
in excellent condition,

ly. Geraniums are near¬ 
ly all in bud and bloom 
now. Roses are splendid 
that have bloomed; all, 
with lew exceptions, are 
budded. The Polyantha 
Roses have from three to 
ten buds each. Many 
thanks lor the extra 
plants and premiums. 
Am delighted with the

The plants all arrived 
in fine condition with 
the exception ol the 
Fuchsia Phenomenal, 
which I am afraid will 
not live. AH the others 
are thriving. The Bou- 
vardia, which almost al¬ 
ways looses its leaves 
alter being disturbed, 
looks almost as nice as if 
it had not left the green¬ 
house. Many thanks lor 
the beautiful extras.

tree. Its flowers are of enormous size, as large as tea-cups and very double, sepals
