DOUBEE EVERBEOOMING King Humbert Aster. BEGONIAS. (Begonia Semperflorens Hybrida Fl, PI.) 1574 This novelty comprises the double-flowering form of B. sempe7jlorens, of which the well-known B. Vernon may be regarded as the type, and which has deservedly taken a front place among bedding plants. The plants of this new hybrid are of robust, compact growth, and produce their exqui- sitely formed and very double flowers in the greatest profusion ; they vary in color from pure white to dnrk red, and contrast beautifully with the dark green ; often metallic and dark red foliage, and while it is as a summer bedding plant that they will be ;;t useful, they make fine pot plants for the window or conservatory, flowering continuously. (See cut.) 25 cts. per pkt. CARNATION GIANT OF NICE. 1834 This promises to eclipse the now famous Marguerite Carnations, combining their quick flowering characteristics, blooming within 6 months from time of sowing, with the added advantages of superiority in size, richness in variety of coloring and texture of flowers ; above all, they are excellent for cutting, being borne on long stiff stalks. The introducer, an eminent French carnationist, pronounces it a novelty of great distinction. 25 cts. per pkt.
