8AHV ITALIA PROCUMBENS (Double-flowered). 
SANVITALIA. Nat. Ord., Composite. 
1140 Sanvltalia procumbens, fl. pi. New Double Sanvitalia. A novelty of 1867, 
which has proved to be one of the most beautiful acquisitions. We cultivated it ex¬ 
tensively last year; and the dense masses of perfectly double flowers, like Pompon 
Chrysanthemums, attracted unusual attention. It is, without doubt, the only dwarf, 
compact plant, of a yellow color, suited to beds and masses of low growth. The 
seeds are saved from the finest flowers, and will give from eighty to ninety per cent, 
of double blossoms. (See engraving.) . , . . .. 
SAP0NARIA. Nat. Ord., Caryophyllacece . 
One of the best and longest-blooming of all dwarf annuals, producing masses of minute

son, and purple shades. The tall varieties grow about two feet high, and the dwarf about 
one foot. Seed may be sown at any time in spring in the open ground; set the plants a 
foot or more apart.

elty. The flowers, which have all the beautiful varieties 
of colors of this tribe, are perfectly double, making the 
flower resemble a double Pompon Chrysanthemum. It 
i» of a dwarfer and more compact habit than the old va¬ 
rieties, and a most valuable acquisition ....
