OUR NEW VARIETIES. 
The following list of new varieties were originated on 
our own grounds. Having given special attention to this 
flower for several years, we can now offer some of the 
finest new varieties in cultivation ; equal, at least, and in 
many respects superior, to the most costly French 
sorts. Besides these, we have many varieties that are 
equally as fine, but not in sufficient quantities to offer 
at present. Those named below are a few very marked 
superior flowers that we have selected from many thou¬ 
sands that we have grown from the seed and flowered. 
Those which were not very marked in character, if fine, 
have been placed with our unnamed class.

descriptions alone. We are confident that selections

condition, will give far better satisfaction than any the 
purchaser would be likely to make from the most care¬
