cts. ANTIRRHINUH flAJUS PELORIA Undoubtedly one of the most remarkable botanical curiosities yet introduced. Alsovaluable as a floral novelty, for it is the original of a new race of Snapdragons. Its name isderived from its peloric or regular flowers, which are produced almost exclusively. Hithertothis form was found rarely, but only in single flowered specimens amongst other true Snap-dragon flowers. The regularity is owing to the increase of the irregular parts, so that there arefive spurs where only one exists in the true Snapdragon. This variation has been fixed in thisvariety and promises to be a decided acquisition. The colors represented in this noveltyare dark-brownish purple and brownish purple with white tubes and spurs. This novelty after careful selection will produce fully 80 per cent, true peloric flowers. Antirrhinum Majus Peloria. Price per pkt. 25 cts.; 5 pkts. for $1.00.

The flowers of this novelty are of the same size as those ofthe Gigantea type ; they also vary in the same abundant dis-play of colors. The petals are curled wavelike, which lends theflower an extremely graceful and light appearance, therebysurpassing the old sorts by elegance. The bursting buds are folded and ruffled in such a pecu-liar fashion that they present the appearance of a large doubleflower. This curling of the flowers is absolutely no detrimentto the splendor and effect of the colors in the whole beds; onthe contrary the curled Begonias will soon enter into compe-tition with the old Gigantea class and very likely displace sameat a future time. Price per pkt. 25 cts. each; 5 pkts. for $1.00. CARNATION GIANTNICE The Giant Nice that we offer this year is a particular selec-tion of varieties bearing (enormous flowers of the richest andmost varied tints. This race is above all excellent for the cut-f
