The well-known French white lilac. The natural color is red, but by growing in a high temperature in a quite dark place, the flowers are produced perfectly white in larce quan- tities, which are very much esteemed in winter for cut flowers. Plants well set with buds, $2.00. SCIRPUS NUTALENSIS. A grass-like plant, with light green foliage ;. very effective for hanging-baskets, or for planting in aquariums or moist shaded places. 50 cents. TABERNiEMONTANA CAMASSA. A green-house shrub of neat, compact habit, resembling the Gardenia in growth and fragrance of flowers ; fine for cut flower work. 50 cents. NEW DOUBLE TROP^OLUM-HER- MINE GROSSHOFF. This is a grand and decided novelty ; it differs from all other Tropseolums in the dwarf growth and large, perfectly double flowers, which are about two inches in diameter and of a bright orange-red color. It blooms continuously, and we know of no other plant that will give better results under almost any treatment. It is well adapted to grow in single specimens as a pot-plant, or for planting in the open border. Its bright-colored flowers and elegant habit of growth render it indispensable in the planting of vases, baskets or window boxes. We feel confident in recommending, this plant for almost any purpose, it having been tried at our nursery for over a year. It was covered with flowers the entire summer, and flowered quite freely even during the dull winter months. 30 cents each ; $3.00 per dozen. NEW DOUBLE BLUE VIOLET—MARGUERITE DE SAVOIE. One of the finest Double Violets yet introduced. It has the style and habit of Marie Louise, but is much larger in flower, color very rich deep blue, with a white centre, fragrant and free flowering; habit and growth good. This is one of the prettiest and most profitable to the grower of cut flowers. 25 cents ; £2.50 per dozen.
