. Hill & Co., wholesale florists : spring of 1896 . MME. A. BOUVIER. with large flowers, very useful for edging, for bedding with geraniums or for pots. $1 each. Acme. (Schroder.) Height 3 feet. A grand yellow with broad petals and fine truss of large florets ; foliage light green, short jointed, full grower ; has great promise. 75 cents each ; $70 per 100. BEDS. F. K. PierSOn. The softest, brightest shade of card- inal red with a touch of gold in the heart ; flower almost flat and still the petals overlap ; flower and truss of the largest size ; compact in growth and free in bloom ; an exquisitely beautiful American variety. • More like a Gladiolus flower than a Canna. 25c each ; $22 per 100. Chicago. Nearly 4 feet. Grand vermilion scarlet; flowers very large and flat, petals broad and five in num- ber, composing a magnificent flower in a very large truss ; erect in growth ; foliage bright green. The heavy tex- ture of the bloom renders them very durable as compared with most varieties. 35 cents each ; $25 per 100. Columbia. Another grand American variety of the richest, softest shade of pure red, and the most durable when subjected to hard weather ; a very strong grower with short jointed growths ; the flower stalk has the peculiarity of branching and throwing several trusses of bloom on the same spike and all open at the one time. Doubtless this is a forerunner of a durable, wind-proof American race. 50 cents each. (See cut, page 20.)
