A SINGLE PLANT OF LITTLE GEM SWEET ALVSSUM. 
NEW SV*fEET ALYSSUM—Little Gem. 
An entirely new and cx'ceeclingly pretty variety of vSweet Alys.sum that is sure to re 
ceive a warm welcome from nil lovers of this dciiervcdly popular flower. In this dis¬ 
tinct variety the plants are of a very compact, spreading growth; they attain only 
llircc to four inches in height, l)ut a .single plant will completely cover a circle of twelve 
to fourteen inches in diameter. They begin to bloom veiy quickly from seed, the 
plants bearing profusely while quite small. They soon become densely studded with 
beautiful miniature spikes of xnire white flowers, in wonderful profusion and of de 
licious fragrance. More than three hundred perfect .spikes of flowers in full bloom at 
one time have been counted on a single plant. Ourrillustration fails to convey an idea 
of the great beauty and value, especially for edgings, of this charming “Little Gem.’» 
Per i)acket, to cents, 3 for 25 cents. 
AMARANTHUS—Splendens. 
A decided improvement on Amaranlhus Tricolor—taller and more elegant, of very 
vigorous growth, attaining a height of four feet or more. At a very early stage of 
growth the leaves assume their delicate golden-yellow, red, dark green, and brown 
markings, and in summer the plants arc crowned with numerous lovely bright red 
plumes. Its earliness and stately appearance render it very valuable for decorvtioir 
Per packet, 20 cents, 3 packets for 25 cents. 
NEW CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 
The fashionable flowers to-day are Roses and Chrysanthemums, and the fantastic 
Jiaped flowers of the Japanese varieties of the last named plant, in particular, are 
much admired. The Chinese class are equally beautiful, but of an altogether different 
form, as will be seen on reference to illustration above. As many of my amateur 
patrons delight in the raising of new varieties, I have procured from the best sources a 
supply of seed that has been saved from the choicest varieties in the following classes: 
Double Chinese, per packet. 25 cents. 
Double Jaijancse, per packet. 25 cents. 
Double Pompone, (small flowering) j)er jxicket. 25 cents. 
BEGONIA RUBRA 
Is one of the most bcaiuiful of all greenhouse plant.s, and is easily raised from seed, 
sown and treated c.vactly as Primuhvur Calceolaria. It forms a most graceful plant, 
•with clear, glossy, deep green leaves, and panicles of rich scarlet flovyers, hanging 
somewhat like bunches of grapes in large specimens, often ten to twelve inches across. 
A plant of Pegonia Rubra was lately e.vhibited, one year old from^ .seed, six feet in 
height and six feet in diameter, literally covered with its rich crimson panicles of 
flowers. Per packet, 15 cents.
