F. E. McALLISTER, 22 DEY ST., NEW YORK.—NOVELTIES IN FLOWER SEEDS. 
Gloxinia Hybrida Grandiflora, 
“FIRE KING.” 
This splendid Gloxinia, offered last year in France, 
produces flowers of the same intense glowing dark 
scarlet as the “ Defiance,” but the new variety is stronger 
and of a sounder constitution than the other. The 
flowers are also larger and the leaves resemble those 
of the crassifolia type. No lover of Gloxinias should 
be without this splendid variety, which is certain to 
become a general favorite. 
Per packet, 50 cents. 
Myosotis Alpestris==Jewel White. 
A variety with pure white flowers of this new form 
of Forget-Me-Not. The plants of this new color grow 
very strong and compact, forming solid ball-shaped bushes of about six inches in height. The 
flower is composed of one double center blossom, encircled by innumerable smaller ones, 
forming altogether a beautiful looking cluster. 
Per packet, 25 cents. 
LOBELIA. 
“Barnard’s Perpetual.” 
This splendid novelty is, without doubt, the 
finest Lobelia yet raised. The flowers are 
of the most brilliant ultramarine blue, strikingl) 
ornamented with a pure white marking at the 
base of each of the two lower petals. It is of 
compact habit, and alike useful for bedding or 
growing in pots, while the bright and effective 
coloiing of its flowers, combined with its per 
petual blooming character, ensures it the premier 
position in paiterres and ribbon borders. It was 
awarded a Certificate of Merit by the Royal 
Horticultural Society, when exhibited in May, 
1892, at the Temple Show.
