EUMEIAN,

SPRING NMD FALL OF 1874.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

My vines, this Season, will be found of excellent quality. Of Delaware, Martha
Concord, Eumelan, Arnold’s new Hybrids, Allen’s White Hybrid, Maxatawney’
Union Village, Rogers’ most popular kinds, and of Croton, Senasqua, Iona, and I
iiave plants of the very best quality, and in perfect health and condition. Many
kinds of vines are scarce, and prices firm ; in some cases, advanced. I shall, how-
ever, be able to supply earl y orders at usual rates.

My stock of Greenhouse, ornamental foliaged, and bedding plants, will be found
very fine, and embracing the most desirable and useful of the old and new kinds,
at reduced rates.

All orders, whether large or small, will receive prompt and careful attention.
Slight delays are, however, unavoidable during the busy season in Fall and Springj
and accumulated orders are filled in rotation, as far as practicable. As a rule, no
varieties will be substituted unless desired, and when the kinds ordered cannot be
furnished, the money will be returned.

All plants are warranted to reach the purchaser in good order, to be in quality as
represented, and true to name. The greatest care will be taken to avoid errors; but
if any occur, they will be promptly corrected on being made known.

Tetters containing remittances are promptly answered by return mail ; and if re-
plies are not received to all such, within reasonable time, corre»pondents should
advise me

Letters of inquiry, inclosing stamps, will be promptly answered as far as possi-
ble; but during Spring and Fall my correspondence is very large, and I cannot '
answer inquiries as to soil, planting, training, &e., for the reason that I have not
the time. In such cases, a copy of this Catalogue will be mailed in reply.

The post-office law r enahles me t* furnish plants, vines, seeds, &c., by mail, as
heretofore. Ot the thousands of vines and plants thus sent, I have rarely had a
failure, and have found this method of sending safer and more reliable than express
as well as much cheaper for all small packages. I have sent packages to Texas’
Utah, Oregon and California, which were received in perfect order, and gave entire
satisfaction. All vines and plants thus sent, I will warrant to reach the purchaser
anywhere within the United States, in good condition. Large quantities are best
sent by freight, when railroad stations are near; or when preferred, and expense is
no object, by express.

A small charge will be made to cover the cost of boxes and packing material •
and as postage must be prepaid, where vines are ordered by mail, 5 cents per single
vine, 20 cents per half dozen, or 25 cents per dozen, should be added for expenses of
packing and postage.

When one dozen or more vines are ordered, they may be had in different varieties
at the dozen price, not less than three of each kind ; aud when one hundred or more
are ordered, at the price per 100, not less than 10 of each kind.

Write your address plainly, with town, county and State.

Money can be sent most safely by Post-office orders, or drafts by mail ; or when
this is impracticable, in currency in registered letters, or by express.

When vines or plants are ordered C. O. D., the cost of return charges will be
added, unless otherwise agreed.

NOVELTIES FOR FALL OF 1*7 1.

NEW POTATO -' 1 OHIO BEAUTY.”

This magnificent potato was grown from a seed-hall of the Early Rose, in the
Spring of 1869. and since that time has been carefully tested in a variety of soils
and situations, and has also been carefully compared with the best and most
popular potatoes now grown. Toe result has been so entirely satisfactory, that I
intend to otter it for sale in (he Fall and Spring of 1874-5 with confidence that it
will give entire satisfaction, and prove of inestimable value to Agriculturists in all
sections. I have found it the nearest ; perfection , in every respect, of any potrt'o I
have ever grown ; uniformly healthy and vigorous in growth, and remarkably pro-
ductive. It is medium early — early enough to ripen perfectly in all seasons ; — earlier
than Peach-blow, but later 'than tire Early Rose. In quality, it is the very best, at
all times, from the time it is dug, until late the following summer. All who have
tested it, pronounce it unsurpassed in quality ; and the most experienced potato-
growers in the State declare it “ the best potato they ever saw.” In appearance it is
smooth and handsome; in form somewhat, like peach-blow but more regular and
with eves less sunken ; in color much like its parent, Early Rose ; in baking or boil-
ing always cooks perfectly white, dry and mealy, never pink or red- fleshed, and is
of the most delicate and refined flavor. As a fine late-keeper it has no equal within
my knowledge, having been kept in good condition and used for the table till the
fust of August. It always yields heavily, and uniformly large and handsome pota-
toes. Its habit of growth is strong, robust, and vigorous, stout and stocky. Not
disposed to make long, straggling and slender vines. Its foliage is large, thick and
heavy, enduring drouth admirably, and to a considerable extent resists also the at-
tacks of the Colorado bug. Its tubers are formed in a large cluster around the stem,
rendering digging very easy. In short, after five years of trial and careful observa-
tion, I oiler it with perfect confidence that it will be found a first class potato in ev-
ery respect , and worthy a place on every farm, and in every garden where potatoes
are grown. It is three to four weeks earlier in ripening than Campbell’s Late Rose.

I am raising new potato-seedlings every year, hut after fully testing, nearly all are
thrown away. Of many hundreds raised since 1865, less than a dozen are now re-
tained as promising to be of special value; and a year or two longer will perhaps
reduce these to two or three. A remarkable seedling from ‘‘Ohio Beauty” of the
present season yielded, the first year, from a single seed more than three times the
average of Early Vermont and Compton's Surprise planted side by side, and grown
under precisely the same treatment; and upon trial it also proves of finer flavor
and better quality than either of those kinds.

The “OHIO BEAUTY" will he offered at the following prices : For 1 pound, SI ;
three pounds to one address, $2,00, post-paid, by mail. By freight or express, charg-
es to lie paid by purchaser, $20 per bushel ; peck, or half bushel at same rates. 2io
charge for package, or delivery at freight or express office.

NEW WHITE GRAPE.

“WHITE LADY.” — I have purchased the entire stock of thissplendid new grape,
from Mr. Today, and expect to offer it to the public, in the Fall of 1874. It is a
pure Concord Seedling, and has all the vigor, health and hardiness of its parent.
After four years careful testing and observation, 1 confidently offer it as the very
best white grape for universal cultivation, yet introduced. It is unquestionably a
great improvement upon i lie Martha grape, being at least, double in size, earlier,
more productive, and at the same time free from that foxiness which renders the
Martha objectionable to many.

I have no hesitation in recommending it for the most extensive culture, feeling
assured that it will succeed peifectly in all localities where the Concord can be
grown, and by reason of its earlier ripening, it will be found especially adapted to
northern localities where Concord does not always mature. In size of berry, it is
even larger than Concord ; in size of cluster, on young vines, it has been, so far, a
little less ; though many bunches, the past season, were fully up to the average size
of Concords. In quality, it is better flavored and more delicate than Concord,
though in its texture and general character much like it. In color, light green-
ish yellow, covered with white bloom. Seeds few and small ; pulp tender; flavor

sweet and rich, slightly vinous, and without foxiness in taste or smell. It lias, for
the past three years, ripened in my garden a little in advance of the Hartford Pro-
lific, and I regard it as possessing more desirable qualities for a profitable garden
and market grape, than any white grape within my knowledge. I shall offer it
for sale the coming fall of 1874, at the following rates; and as the stock is limited,
will supply orders in strict rotation, as received.

For strong, selected, one year plants, first class roots $1.50 single ; $12 per dozen.
Select, first class two years, $2 single ; S18 per dozen. Not. less than 6 at dozen rates.
A few extra three years’ plants, trained for immediate bearing, $3 each.

8®"No discount can be made for larger quantities, and no plants can be sold be-
fore the Autumn of 1874.

DESCRIPTIVE LIST OF VARIETIES.

ARNOLD S HYBRIDS.

These new grapes were originated by Charles Arnold, of Paris, Ontario by cros-
sing the foreign varieties upon the Clinton. They are in habit of growth much like
the Clinton, aud have been found to succeed wherever the Clinton does well r
have a fine stock of remarkably strong aud well-grown plants of all the varieties 1

-Berry large,

OTHRI, no. — Hybrid , Clinton with Black Hamburg.-
beautlfnl bloom; sweet, with sufficient acid to prev

fresh flavor ot the frost grape. Flesh moderately linn, yet. tender and break lie' read ii v i iii
month, \vi tliout nst rlngency. Seed small; bunch large and well shouldered • an excellent des
sert fruit ; ripens with the Delaware, and pronounced by some superior in flavor to it

CORNUCOPIA. — Hybrid. Clinton with Black St. Peters.— Berry medium, round black with
a flue bloom; flesh melting, nearly free from pulp; sweet, and juicy, with a very suri’i/htiv
agreeable flavor. Mr. Arnold says The Cornucopia, all tilings considered is my favorite
He furt her says it is the only grape on his premises that lias perfectly resisted the mildew •
and that it is, in the opinion of many good judges, the best wine grape in America’
besides being much admired as a table grape. Ripens with the Concord. ’

AUTICHO.V . — Hybrid, Clinton with, White Chtmelas.— Bunch very long, (often 9 inches rath
er loose, sometimes shouldered. Berry medium sized, round, green, (tor white ) with ’bloom
Sweet, with melting flesh, and no pulp. Flavor like White Chasselas, hut more snritrktlv it
pens with the Delaware. 1 6 IVI ~

an early variety.

CANADA — Regarded by some as the highest flavored of all. Color black with a tlnn
bloom; bunch and berry above medium ; free from pulp, with a very distinct foreign flavor
and very aromatic, with a most delightful bouquet. A vigorous grower, with peculiar foiim.,, '•
hardy, and matures its wood well. Ripens with the Concord.

ALLENS WHITE HYBRID.

A strong grower, tolerably hardy and productive. Bunches large and compact
berries medium to large; skin thin, semi-transparent; color nearly white tinged
with amber ; flesh tender and delicate ; quality best; ripens early.

ALVEY.

A vigorous, healthy vine, with fruit of the character of Lenoir and Lincoln but
rather larger berries, and ripens earlier than either; about with Concord. A fair
bearer, of fine quality; one of the most desirable of this class of grapes both for
wine and table. Colors some time before fully ripe.

BELVIDERE.

A very early black grape, large in bunch and berry ; of very vigorous growth
perfectly hardy and healthy, and very productive ; somewhat like Christine or Tel-
egraph, but much larger and liner in appearance. Originated by Dr. Lake of Bel-
videre, Ills., and will probably be a valuable market variety, on account of extreme
earliness, large size and fine appearance. Earlier thau Hartford Prolific and of
better quality, as grown here.

Descriptive List of Grape Vines.

BLACK HAWK.

Vine of the Concord character; healthy, but hardly as vigorous in growth.
Bunch and berry rather smaller than Concord ; flavor sweeter and richer. Said to
ripen two weeks earlier.

CROTON.

Hybrid cross between Delaware and Chasselas de Fontainebleau, originated by S.
W Underbill, of Croton Point, N. Y. Bunch often 8 to 9 inches long, moderately
compact and shouldered; berry medium to large; flesh tender and melting; quali-
ty best, with much the character of the Chasselas. Ripens early, with the Dela-
ware. The vine is of good, healthy growth. A most desirable variety for amateur
and garden culture, and will doubtless be valuable in some localities for vineyards.
A grape of admirable quality and great beauty : very productive, aud with ioliage
as healthy as auy of the finer class of grapes yet introduced.

CONCORD CHASSELAS.- A Concord Hybrid— From Concord Seed.

Bunch rather long, usually shouldered, handsomely compact, without being
crowded ; berries large, round'; skin very thin hut tenacious, aud semi-transparent;
seeds few and very small; color, when fully ripe, a rich amber with thm wnite
bloom, almost identical in appearance with the foreign Golden Chasselas; flesh
perfectly tender and melting, just enough vinous acid to prevent cloying the most
delicate palate. Wholly free from any vestige of foxiness, aud a grape that will
satisfy the most fastidious taste, formed upon the foreign standard; ripens same
time as the Concord. The vine is very vigorous in growth ; large foliage, thick and
abundant, resisting mildew iti fully exposed locations here, as well as the Concord ;
aud will probably succeed in all regions where the American Grape can be success-
fully aud profitably grown.

CONCORD MUSCAT. -Also Grown From Concord Seed.

Bunch long, moderately compact, sometimessbouldered ; berries very large, oval;
skin thin, rather opaque; seeds few and small; color light, greeuisli white with
delicate bloom ; flesh entirely tender and melting, with no pulp orastringency next
tlie seeds; flavor rich, sugary, slight y sub-acid, with the peculiar high flavor which
is the distinguishing charm and excellence of the foreign Muscats and hroutignaus.
There are really few grapes among the most admired foreign kinds which equal
this variety in pure flavor and high quality. Vine very vigorous; foliage large and
moderately thick; resists mildew, except in very unfavorable seasons. In tins re-
spect it is better than Eumelan, Delaware, Clinton, or Roger’s Hybrids; but not
equal to Concord.

CONCORD.

Bunches large, berries round, black, covered with bluish bloom ; flesh soft, slight-
ly pulpy • flavor sweet and sprightly. Good, hut not first-rate. Produces a fair, red
wine Especially prized for healthiness, haidiuess, great productiveness, aud gen-
eral adaptability to nearly all soils and locations. Generally regarded as the best
black grape for general cultivation. %

CLINTON.

Hardy, and productive. Bunches medium ; compact, shouldered ; berries round,
rather below medium ; black, covered with a thin bloom; juicy, with a brisk vinous
flavor ; if left to hang upon the vines till perfectly ripened, makes a wine of high,
handsome color, and fine flavor.

CREVELING.

Hardy, early aud productive ; hunches rather large and long, usually somewhat
loose ; berries large, blue and slightly oval ; flesh tender, flavor delicate, slightly
vinous, sweet and good ; quality superior.

Descriptive List of Grape Vixes.

DELAWARE.

This variety must still be accorded the highest place among American grapes, for
hardiness, productiveness, and unsurpassed flavor and quality.

In bunch and berry it is, under good cultivation, of full medium size, the clusters
usually shouldered, compact and heavy ; skin very thin, but tenacious; pulp tender
and melting ; juice abundant, rich, vinous, sugary, sprightly and refreshing in a
remarkable degree ; color a beautiful purplish maroon or wine color when fully ripe,
and the berries covered with a thin, whitish bloom.

To produce its best result-*, the Delaware requires a rich soil, and good cultivati-
vation. It seems more free from rot than any other variety in cultivation ; and if
not permitted to overbear, is among the most reliable grapes for a certain and prof-
itable crop.

It is important to purchasers to procure the Delaware from responsible and relia-
ble sources. Immense quantities of spurious vines have been sold for Delawares
both here and elsewhere.

DIANA.

A strong, healthy-growing vine ; but gives its best results on warm, dry and rath-
er thin soils. In favorable situations it bears abundantly ; has fine, large, compact
bunches, sometimes shouldered ; berries full medium size ; color pale red, or wine
color, and when fully ripe, nearly without pulp, sweet, and high flavored.

DIANA HAMBURG.

Hybrid between Diana and Black Hamburg. Bunch large, moderately compact,
shouldered ; berries large, slightly oval ; color handsome red ; flesh tender, sweet
and rich. Quality best. Vine rather slow grower, and disposed to mildew in un-
favorable seasons. Ripens with Diana.

EUMELAN.

A good grower; bunch and berry medium ; color black; quality first-rate; claim-
ed to make a fine red wine. For localities where mildew does not prevail, a valua-
ble variety. Ripens early.

HARTFORD PROLIFIC.

Very early, healthy, hardy and productive. Considered especially valuable for
northern localities where Isabella and Catawba do not ripen well, a good early
market grape.

HERBEMONT, OR WARREN.

A southern grape, of fine quality, and large bunches, but small berries. It is of
very vigorous growth, and productive. The fruit is black or blue-black, abounds in
rich, refreshing juice, and its berries are characterized by Mr. Downing as "bags of
wine.” It is late in ripening, and tender for northern localities, requiring a south-
ern exposure, and protection in winter.

IONA.

Bunch usually large, long, and shouldered ; not very compact, berries medium to
large, slightly oval ; skin thin, but tenacious; pale red, with numerous deep red
veins, which become quite dark when fully ripe. Flesh tender, with uniform
character and consistence to the center. Flavor rich, sweet and vinous; very fine
— nearly equaling the Delaware.

The Iona is a fine grape for the garden, and for sheltered and protected localities.
Wherever it will succeed, it is a desirable variety. It requires protection in severe
winters.

ISRAELLA.

Supposed to be a seedling from the Isabella. A good grower, and usually healthy.
Bunch large, compact and handsome; berry black, rather large; quality good. Has
proven free from rot, in very unfavorable seasons. Ripens a few days earlier than

Isabella.

Descriptive List of Grape Vines.

IVES’ SEEDLING.

Healthy, hardy, productive and vigorous; generally free from rot, even in unfa-
vorable circumstances. The bunches are full medium, or large, compact, often
shouldered; berries slightly oval, medium, \ery black, juicy, sweet, vinous and
well flavored, but rather pulpy. Not specially desirable as a table grape, but es-
teemed valuable and productive for red wine.

JOANIC, OR JOANNENC.

A beautiful, large, oval, white grape, imported from France. Ripens iti open air
in August. It is of very fine quality. Requires protection in winter; only worthy
attention of amateurs, on account of its earliness and flue quality, as it is, like all
foreigu varieties, subject to mildew, unless raised under glass.

LENOIR.

A southern grape of fine quality ; has been, heretofore, confounded with the Lin-
coln. Bunch medium, compact; berries round, small; color dark bluish purple,
covered with light bloom; flesh tender; flavor rich, sweet and vinous. Ripens
earlier than the Isabella ; and in favorable localities, will be found desirable for wine
and table. A fine grower and tolerably hardy.

LINCOLN.

Much like Lenoir in fruit,
bemont.

but a little later in ripening.

MARTHA.

Foliage resembles Her-

Vine hardy, healthy and productive. In size of bunch and berry somewhat less
than the Concord, hut sufficiently large; usually shouldered, compact and heavy.
Color, when fully ripe, a pale, greenish yellow, amber tinted, where exposed to the
sun, with a thin white bloom. Flesh tender, with very little pulp; very juicy,
sweet and rich, slightly vinous ; quality' and flavor excellent — much more refined
and delicate than Concord. Wine of very high character has been made from it at
Hermann, Mo., by Mr. Geo. Husmann. The foliage and general appearance of
the viue is almost identical with the Concord, except that the leaves are a lighter
shade of green, and the wood of duiker brown. Vigorous and healthy in every re-
spect. Ripe usually bv the first of September, and pronounced by many “better
ihau the Delaware.” I have grown no variety that has always remained, under
all circumstances, more reliable than Martha, and I liave entire confidence that it
will prove valuable and reliable wherever the Concord succeeds.

NORTON S VIRGINIA SEEDLING.

A grape of much vigor of growth, hardy and productive. Bunches long and
large; berries small, black. Has deservedly acquired the highest reputation south
and west as the best red wine grape.

ROGERS’ NEW HYBRIDS.

These remarkable grapes were originated by Mr. E. S. Rogers, of Salem, Massa-
chusetts, by hybridizing the wild Mammoth grape of New England with t lie for-
eign Black Hamburg and Golden Chasselas. As to vigor and healthiness of growth,
size of fruit, and beauty of appearance, they exceed any native grapes 1 have ever
seen ; and in these respects some of them fairly rival the Black Hamburg. 1 thinK
they do best in soil not too rich.

For this locality, t lie following numbers have proven most satisfactory'. Nos. 3,
4, 5, 9, 15, 19, 33. Others are highly recommended, but I have not personally tested
all of them.

The following comprises the best of the collection :

XV o. 1. GOKTHE. — Large oval berry, and large bunch; at the North usually classed as a
white grape- but south, when fully matured, o( a light red or wine color. Rather late, but tine
when well ripened.

Ko. 2. — Large, black, productive. Second quality.

No. 3. MASS A SOIT.— Large, oval grape, size of we 11 -grow n Isabellas ; light purple or red
color; early and tine flavor ; somewhat like the Diana in quality, but with less pulp. Among
the earliest and best, ripening with the Delaware.

Descriptive List of Grape Vines.

No, 4. WllDBR. — Very largo purple grape, of tlie Hamburg cross, which variety it closely
resembles in bunch and berr.v . One of the best of the Hybrids. The Cincinnati Horticultural
■Society reported upon this variety, as the best black seedling grape which had come before
them. Highly commended.

No. 5 . Has proven here one of the best of all the Hybrids. Vine healthy and hardy, and
fruit of very tine quality. Bunch medium, moderately compact: berry largo, round ; flesh ten-
<ler and melting, verv sweet and rich. Ripens early ; with Delaware. An admirable grape.

No. 9. 1*IN l>«.K Y.— Bunch and berry medium to large, round. Early and very good. Pro-
ductive and hardy, and by some regarded as nearly equal to the Delaware in quality. In color
a handsome 1'irht purplish red; flesh tender: flavor sweet and aromatic.

No. 15 AGAYVAM ConsUlered by .NIr. Rogers as his best variety, before The introduction
of the “ 's ilem.” It is a red grape, of the Hamburg cross; early, verv large in bunch and ber-
ry : productive, ami of great vigor of growth. Fruit of i ion , high and peculiar aromatic flavor.
■Still regarded as among the best, of tin- Hvbrids. and lias given general satisfaction.

No. 19. MKRKlWACIi.-Very large, and earlier than the Diana; regarded by some as
the finest grape in i he collection ; it is of the size and color of the Black Hamburg : bunches
and fruit large and compact; a very strong grower.

No. 33. Bunch large and compact, « ft.cn shouldered; berry large, nearly round : color
black ; flesh tender, sugary, with a rich, high flavor ; and a dark claret colored juice next the
skin. Will probably make a line red win-*. One of the earliest and best.

No. 39. Bunch of good size, shouldered ; berries medium, round; color black ; flesh tender,
■sweet, and of line flavor. One of the earliest.

No. 4:1. KSSWX. Bunch medium; berries large, round ; color reddish black : flesh tender,
•of a verv rich, vinous flavor. E irly.

No. 43. B A EttlY .— Bunch large, shouldered; berry medium, roundish ; color black; flesh
tender, of a sweet pleasant flavor. Verv productive, and early.

No. 44. HERBERT. — Much like tlie last— a little earlier: bunch large, loose; berry me-
dium ; color black; flesh very sweet, and tender.

SALEM.

This is also one of Mr. Rogers* Hybrids, of which he gives the following descrip-
tion :

Sv l ‘A hybrid between the native and Black Hamburg: bunch large, and compact : berry large
as Hamburg; of a light, chestnut or Catawba color: thin skinned; perfectly free from hard
pulp; very sweet and .sprightly, with a most exquisite,, aromatic flavor/’

1 will add that I have fruited the Salem and find it among the best of the' ‘hybrids.

SENASQUA,

Another of Mr. Underhill’s Hybrids, from Concord crossed with foreign Black
Prince. A strong-growing vine, with large and healthy foliage. Bunch large, and
very compact; berry large, black, with thick blue bloom ; flesh tender and free
from pulp ; flavor rich and sprightly; a grape of very line quality, and promises to
be a valuable acquisition.

SHAKER, OR UNION VILLAGE.

Is a very handsome grape, rivaling the Black Hamburg in size and appearance;
one of the very largest, of our native grapes, noth in hunch and berry. In quality
•usually thought rather better than the Isabella. Strong grower and very produc-
tive. Plan ts t ru e ; from beari tig vi t» es.

TELEGRAPH.

Vine vigorous, healthy and hardy. Bunch medium, compact, shouldered. Ber-
ry medium, black, with blue bloom; very little pulp, juicy, spicy and excellent.
Ripens as early as the Hartford, and is of better quality. Regarded as one oi the
most promising early grapes.

WALTER.

Claimed to be a cross between Delaware and Diana, and to be very early, hardy,
healthy and productive ; also to be of superior quality.

WHITE DELAWARE.

A pure Delaware Seedling; but the vine is much more vigorous and robust in
habit, making nearly double the growth of the Delaware under the same conditions
and circumstances. Its foliage is also large, thick and heavy, resembling that of
•Catawba or Isabella more than Delaware. Tr has resisted both mildew - and rot ill
verv unfavorable seasons, and matured its fruit perfectly, when both Concord and
Delaware were destroyed. In flavor it seems to me all ilia- could be desired, being,
to my taste, superior to the old Delaware. Its only fault, so lar, i* want size,
though it has improved every year. In form of hunch and berry it is like the Del-
aware, compact and shouldered; color, light greenish while, with thin white bloom.
Productive, but apparently not as subject to over-bear as the Delaware. I believe
it will prove an admirable vineyard, as % well as garden variety.

GERANIUMS.

Among our bedding plants, there are none more popular or more useful than the
Geraniums for planting out during our warm and dry summers. They resist heat
and drouth remarkably, and give a profusion of uninterrupted bloom throughout
the season. The ornamental foliaged tri-colors are specially adapted to house cul-
ture, as they give their most brilliant tints in partial shade and a moderate temper-
ature. The new double Geraniums must be regarded as great acquisitions ; their
beautiful large trusses of brilliant and constant bloom, with the robust and vigorous
habit of the plants, leave little further to be desired. The following will be found
among the best of the very large number now catalogued, many of which difler
very little except in name :
