QUEEN MARGUERITE— 
This valuable novelty, raised from a 
cross between llel iotrop. incamim and 
llrliotrop peruvianum , has proved quite 
constant after several years cultivation. 
The habit of Queen Marguerite is a dwarf 
compact one, and the profuse willing¬ 
ness of flowering is unequalled by any 
other sort in existence. The hardly 4-inch 
long sprigs produce continually (nearly 
the whole year) immense, sweet -seen ted 
clusters of deep dark blue coloured 
flowers, often 12 to 14 inches in diameter. 
A beautiful novelty, snitablc for pot or 
border culture, and* of high value for 
cut-flower purpose*. 2s. each. 
SENECIO LEUCOSTACHYS 
A species found by Mons. K. Andr<5 in 
the northern provinces of Uruguay. 
Produces elegant silvery foliage, and will 
add another plant of merit for outdoor 
decoration of large beds and borders. 2s

GRAND NEW PEDIGREE ROSE HYBRID TEA;. 
With the Introducer’s Description. 
UELiLiE SIEBRECHT—A truly superb rose, the result of a cross between La France and 
Lady Fitzwillinm , colour imperial pink. Mr. Matthews, the greatest authority on colours in 
America, pronounces it a solid pink of the richest shade—a rare colour. The flowers, which are 
sweetly perfumed, are large, beautifully formed, and of long tapering shape with high centre, and 
when half blown the petals reflex in graceful manner. The buds (which are borne on strong erect 
stems, 14 to 2 ft. in length; are from 2$ to 3 in. long, and when fully blown the flowers are 54 to 
b in. in diameter without showing the centre The flowers have great substance—the petals, which 
arc of a heavy texture, do not easily bruise or tarnish : they are good lasters, some having been kept 
seven days without falling. It is a free and vigorous grower, with large and glossy foliage of leathery 
texture, entirely free from mildew ; a most prolific bloomer, every growth producing a perfect 
flower, not a deformed flower or bullhead ever having been seen. It is predicted by eminent rose- 
growers that it will he the best selling and the best paying rose that has ever been introduced. Wc 
do not send this rose out to be tried, as wc have *ubjccted it to the severest tests for over two years, 
and we can recommend it as a first-class acquisition. It has received the Gold Medal of the National 
Hose Society of Great Britain, and First-Class Certificates from all the leading Horticultural 
Societies in Europe and America. It has proved itself to be a free and thorough everbloonicr. and 
perfectly hardy out of doors in this country. It should also he stated that this rose is quite distinct 
from the now popular varieties which are grown for cut flowers. It excels them all in colour, form, 
and freedom of blooming, and develops and holds its colour perfectly in dull weather. Dean Hole, 
of England, the greatest acknowledged rosarian, and the anthor of the “ Book on Roses/' says :— 
“It is not only the fine form and beautiful colour, which all must admire, but the vigorous habit 
and endurance of the flowers, all of which must cause it to be universally welcomed/’
