CAMELLIA, MRS. ANNE MARIE HOVEY. 
This lovely Camellia surpasses in every quality all other varieties yet produced. 
In the shape and symmetry of the flower, and in the form, substance, and perfec¬ 
tion of petal, it has no equal; but its most remarkable character is its peculiar and 
distinct quality of producing flowers of many different colors on the same plant. 
The prevailing color is a clear waxy white, delicately pencilled with crimson; but 
often a great number are of the darkest and richest carmine. Some are of the 
deepest shade of blush; others, blush striped with carmine; some are white, tinted 
with rose, others white, stained or marbled with carmine; some are half white and 
half deep rose; and occasionally some are pure white. In fact, entirely new and 
beautiful combinations of these tints are constantly produced. Every flower re¬ 
mains in perfection a week or more. It begins to bloom in January and continues 
in blossom till May. The habit of the plant is erect and symmetrical, the leaves 
medium size, deep green, and it flowers as abundantly and as freely as the old 
Double White. 
Young plants are now offered for sale at $5 each. Large plants, $10 to $25 each. 
VARIEGATED-LEAVED CANNA.

CUPHEA HYSSOPIFOLIA. 
A quite rare though not new species of the Cuphea, but so distinct from other 
sorts as to have more the appearance of a heath. It is very dwarf and compact in 
habit, with small, glossy green, heath-like foliage, and the flowers, which are bright 
lilac, appear all along the slender stems in great profusion and throughout the entire 
year. It is a very unique and pretty plant.
