Our collec- tion has been carefully revised and contains only first- class, distinct and well marked varieties, and is acknowl- edged to be the finest in the country. Their greatest value is for the decoration of conservatories, greenhouses and window boxes, while nothing can surpass them as exhibi- ! tion plants for fairs during the summer and fall. Most of the varieties, if planted about the first of June in partly j shaded warm borders, in well enriched light soil, succeed I admirably as bedding plants, the various colorings and | markings of which cannot be obtained in any other class of plants. We list 25 fine sorts, but from our collection of over 60 sorts we are able to supply other varieties equally distinct and fine. Many of the varieties do not show their fine variegation when young and often appear exactly the same as older sorts. Annibal. Brilliant crimson veins on a rich green ground, spotted with carmine; handsome. Argyrites. Distinct small leaved variety, never exceed- ing 6 inches in height, bright pea green leaves, beau- tifully spotted and marbled w^ith white. Baron Rothschild. Green, spotted and veined with orange crimson. Duchartre. Green, white veins, shaded rose. E. G. Henderson. Green, spotted with rose, and" rayed crimson.
