(Poiitederia.) {Blue Water Hyacinth.) This choice novelty is now offered for the first time in this country. As will be seen in the cut, the flowers closeh- re- semble those of E. crassipes major, but the edges of the petals are delicately fringed. The color is an exquisite shade of lavender blue. The center of the flower is a rich deep indigo blue with a bright yellow spot upon the blue. It proved a most satisfactory plant in our basin the past summer, flowering continuously throughout the season. Its habit is to branch freely and creep in all directions like a Verbena. It should be grown in rich soil and quite shallow ^vater, or in a tub like the other species, and wintered in a warm greenhouse. Strong plants ready for delivery May ist. 75 cents each. SAGIXXARIA MOXXEVE- DIEXSIS. This is a giant compared with our native Arrowheads, which it resembles in the form of its foliage and flowers. It grows to a height of four feet, with leaves fifteen inches long. The flowers are pro- duced abundantly on spikes three feet high, each bloom being two inches across, pure white with a purple spot at the base of each petal. It should be wintered in the greenhouse. 50 cents each. MYRIOPHYLI^UM PROS- ERPIIVACOIDES. ( Parrot's Feather.) This novelt}-we offer on account of the exquisite beauty of its foliage.

The leaves are arranged in whorls along the stem and are as finely divided as the most delicate fern. The ends of these creeping stems stand erect, forming beautiful tufts or tassels. The plant stems lie in deep. Please note that these images a
