We have selected the varieties offered below as the best of this year's introductions, and we feel satisfied that all of them will take rank at once with the standard sorts. All three have been shown at vari- ous exhibitions, during fall, where they carried off the highest honors. {^Plants ready March ;) Autumn Glory. Entirely distinct in color from anything yet in- troduced. It is of a deep reddish-salmon, when first opening, grad- ually changing to a soft shrimp-pink when finished ; of the same shape and style as Viviand Morel; of largest size and great depth. 50 cts. each. § per doz. Frauk Hardy. A grand new white that has been much ad- mired, with florets of great length, which are incurved in curls first in one direction ihen in another, giving a wave or plume-like ap- pearance ; sure to become a favorite exhibition each, per doz. Pennsylvania. A sport from that favorite exhibition va- riety, Philadelphia, and possess- ing all the good qualities of its parent, from which it differs only in color, which is a rich, bright yellow. Like Philadelphia, it is of large size, globular in form an certain to become a favorite. 50 cts. each, $ per doz. Ceanothus =j^; Gloire de Plantieres, Very few of the Ceanothus have found their way into gen- eral cultivation owing prin cipally to the fact that most of the varieties heretofore introduced have been very ten der. In this new variety is combined almost entire hardi- ness, a slight protection around the roots, which may be omit- ted if planted in a sheltered position, being sufficient to carr)' them over successfully, while the flowers are of large size and of a most desirable shade of lavender-blue. The shrub-like plant grows about three feet high and begins to bear its graceful and airy heads of flowers early in June
