MEEHAN’S MALLOW MARTELS. (6 to 8 feet.)—Indeed 
marvels of brilliancy and beauty. Of recent introduction 
and have produced a well-merited sensation in the horti¬ 
cultural world, 'ihe large flowers (eight to ten inches in 
diameter), appear early in August and continue without 
intermission until checked by frost. The blossoms are 
produced in great profusion and are fiery crimson, blood 
red and shell pink. Of untold value for planting with 
shrubbery. They have been fully tested at Monmouth

broad claims made for them. (See cut). Strong roots,

of the greatest value. It forms a spreading bush, four to 
five feet high, thickly studded with exquisitely formed 
flowers, three to five inches in diameter, ivory white or 
pale blush deepening to the center. Each flower has a 
large reddish purple or wine colored center, and the 
petals are veined with pearly white. Its seed pods are 
also beautiful; being curiously and grotesquely modeled. 
It begins to flower in July and continues without inter¬ 
ruption until late autumn.

growing, bushy plants, with large leaves and producing
