A native variety, growing in dense masses, wliich makes it useful as a ground cover, particularly in damp places. 15 cts. each; $ per doz.; $ per 100. Moserianum. A most desirable border plant, of free and graceful habit, producing long, slender, much-branched stems, leafy to the base and all drooping towards the ends, apparently from the weight of the flowers and buds, although the flowers face, so that none of their beauty is lost. It is marvelously free-flowering, of large s:ze, measuring from 2 to 2i inches in diameter; in color a rich golden yellow, which is rendered still more effective by the numerous yellow stamens and crimson anthers, and blooms con- tinuously the entire season. (.See illustration.) Strong plants, 15 cts. each; $ per doz.; $10
