THE E. G. HILL COMPANY 
27 
FLAVIA. (Bruant.) 
Bruant type; pure white, flowers very large, 
semi-double, of most beautiful form, the long 
looked for white Bruant, for bedding. 50 cents 
each. 
GENITRIX. (Bruant type.) (Bruant.) 
Bright rose cerise, white eye. A nice compact 
grower, extraordinarily free florets, very large, 
semi-double; M. Bruant recommends this heartily 
as a fine bedder. 
COMTESSE DE ROMA. (Bruant.) 
An admirable variety with enormous trusses of 
semi-double flowers which are also of great size, 
the color is exquisite peach-blow pink, shading out 
to white at the center. 
E. G. Hill's Novelty Set 
LUCILE HILL. 
We have never seen a finer single variety; 
the stems are long and stiff, with an unusually 
large truss of beautifully ruffled form composed of 
perfectly circular florets of the largest size; color, 
salmon rose. A splendid grower; as perfect as the 
finest of the “English round flowered, with extra¬ 
ordinary size of truss. 
FLORENCE LEEDS. 
We are almost afraid to describe this vari¬ 
ety as an “improved Jacquerie, but such it is; 
the floret is better formed and the truss of much 
larger size and of beautiful arrangement; stem long 
and stiff, and best of all a fine grower in the open. 
ALMIRA STARR. 
Pure snow white without a tint, and beautifully 
veined; the arrangement of the florets makes the 
truss very decorative while the purity of color is 
very attractive; of bushy spreading habit and hand¬ 
some foliage. 
MARIE CAMPBELL. 
Of Bruant type; a splendid grower with long 
footstalks, carrying a fine truss with beautiful ar¬ 
rangement of the petals; color, salmon rose, a 
splendid bedder. 
ABBIE SCHAEFER. 
A semi-double, crimson scarlet, with elegant 
florets, and very perfect form; truss fine, on good 
stems; a fine grower. 
Bruant Race 
$3 per 100; $25 per 1000, except where noted. 
Baronne Alice de Rothschild — A robust grower, 
with splendid trusses; florets enormous, semi¬ 
double and circular; color, hydrangea-pink with 
large white mark; extremely fresh and pretty. $10 
per 100. 
Bellerophon—Single scarlet, with large, found 
florets, combined into immense trusses, which are 
held high above the plant. It is very free in bloom, 
the habit and foliage especially fine for this type. 
Clyde—A sport from Mrs. E. G. Hill, in every 
respect like its parent, except in color, which is 
pure scarlet, of soft, even shade. $4 per 100. 
Chavarri Hermanos—A vigorous grower, very 
free, with gigantic trusses and very large semi¬ 
double flowers; one of the grandest of red bedders. 
$10 per 100. 
Fleuve Blanc (“River of White") — Double white, 
pure in color, elegant in form, of fine size, prom¬ 
ising to be in whites what Ricard is among scarlets. 
$5 per 100. 
Fleur de Rose—An improvement on Jean Viand. 
It is deeper in color, the form of flower is more 
perfect, and it is of even better habit. 
Jean Viaud—Soft, pure pink; semi-double, with 
two white blotches. Dwarf, stocky grower, rigid 
stems, large trusses, perfect florets; a continuous 
bloomer, plant being covered with flowers through¬ 
out the season. 
Jno. Doyle — Very popular bedder. 
Louis Francais— Semi-double, pure rose color, 
tinted salmon. This is an improved Beaute Poite- 
vine, if such a thing is possible, with a color that 
is quite irresistible. 
M. Chapoton— An unusually large round showy 
variety bright rose pink with white mark; enor¬ 
mous truss of single flowers. 
Marqpis Castellane— A shapely dwarf grower, 
with immense flowers, petals undulating on the 
edges; blooms freely in winter; fine for pots; this 
variety ranks quite as high as S. A. Nutt among 
bedders, and is even more satisfactory in the Mid¬ 
dle West. Splendid shade of red. 
Mme. Jaulin — Semi-double. Very large florets 
compose a truss of grand size; center, tender pink, 
surrounded by border of white. For freshness and 
beauty this color is without a parallel among out¬ 
door bedding varieties, and is equally fine as a pot 
specimen. 
Mme. Landry — Double. Very free and constant 
in bloom throughout the season. '1 russes large, 
and florets of the finest size and circular in form. 
Color, clear salmon, center shading to copper, with 
a white eye. Very distinct, and one 0 $ the best. 
Mrs. E. G. Hill—Grand salmon; fine bedder. 
Precurseur— Single, pure while Bruant.
