Pulcherrima Plenissima, A double form of the above, producing immense cones of a dazzling scarlet, shaded with orange. 50 cents to $1.00. PLUMBAGO GOCCINEA SUPERBA. Similar in style to Plumbago Rosea, but produc- ing a long raceme of flowers twelve to fifteen inches in length, and of a bright satiny carmine color. A grand plant for the warm conservatory. 75 cents. PEONIES. Hardy, tuberous-rooted plants, bearing magnifi- cent fragrant flowers. To insure bloom the first season, they must be planted in autumn, but if not couvenient, they can be set in spring. 12 sorts. 30 cents each ; $3.00 per dozen. FORCING ROSES. "Wm. Francis Bennet." For forcing, this is an admirable rose, its rich glowing crimson color, and charming fragrance, combined with large size and correct shape, have rendered it a favorite wherever shown. We do not recommend it as a summer bloomer, as it is apt to run single, but for winter use it is invaluable. First size, 50 cents each ; £5.00 per dozen. Second size, 30 cents each ; $3.00 per dozen.. American Beauty. An excellent rose for forcing or open air. The flowers are very double, of a deep crimson color, and very fragrant. Its blooming qualities are remarkable, as it is scarcely ever out of flower, and is a true type of what a Hybrid Perpetual Rose should be. We consider it one of the most valuable of the late introductions. First size, 50 cents each ; $5.00 per dozen. Second size, 30 cents each ; $3.00 per dozen.. Please note that these images are ext
