NEW HIBISCUS “CRIMSON GY Ee”
NEw Hisiscus, ‘‘CRIMSON EYE.’’ (Electrotype of this cut furnished free to those who buy seed or plants of this to amount of $15.)
This elegant strain of Hibiscus originated with us, and after many years of careful selection we have it entirely distinct, always coming true from seed. It is a robust grower with dark ted stems and foliage. The flowers are immense in size, often measuring TWENTY INCHES IN CIRCUMFERENCE. The color is of the purest white with a large spot of deep velvety crimson in the center of each flower. It is a striking combination of color and one that must be seen to be fully appreciated. A well developed plant will produce several hundred of these flowers in a season. It will succeed anywhere and is perfectly hardy, blooming the first year from seed sown in the open ground. The root is semi-tuberous, which makes it a particularly good plant for those doing a mailing trade. You will find it a good thing to catalogue the coming season, and you will do well to offer both seed and plants, as this is
THE FIRST TIME THAT ANY SEED OF THIS HAS BEEN OFFERED AT WHOLESALE,
Our stock of plants for this season’s sales will be finer than ever before, and we believe that everyone doing a retail trade will find it to their advantage to offer this valuable novelty.

WILD FLOW ER NOTES.
SALVIA LYRATA.
This species of sage is the only one that is native to the Atlantic Seaboard States. It is usually found in low and wet meadows. A correspondent tells us that in a deep cut along a roadside, near Jenkintown, Pa., it completely clothes the sloping sides of the comparatively dry cut, and is one of the prettiest wild flower scenes that has come before his observation this year. —MEEHAN’S MONTHLY.
VIOLA PEDATA.
The species of Violet, known botanically as Viola pedata, is perhaps one af the handsomest of all for garden culture. It thrives very well in flower borders. Besides this it seems capable of furnishing a number of beautiful forms. There is indeed no reason why, with a little care, as many varieties as the pansy has furnished might not be obtained from it—MEEHAN’S MONTHLY, April, 1892.
AZALEA VISCOSA.
The charming white Azalea so common in the Eastern swamps is now inthe pink of perfection, and although a denizen of wet swamps, it thrives in ordinary gardenground. It also keeps in bloom longer than the Ghent Azaleas of six weeks ago.—AMERICAN FLORIST, July, 1892.
DIPLOPAPPUS LINARIIFOLIUS.
This Aster-like plant is one of the most beautiful features of comparatively dry, barren ground in eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey.—Meehan’s Monthly, December, 18o1.
SMILAX WALTERII.
Mr. Bassett, in ““Garden and Forest,’’ calls attention to the value of this climbing plant for ornamental purposes. While other species of smilax have dull blue or black berries, the berries of this species are brilliant red, holly-like.—Meehan’s Monthly, July, 1892.
LITHRUM SALICARIA.
A beautiful water shrub, whose axils are surrounded with lateral clusters of rose-purple flowers.—American Gardening, May, 1892.
GENTIANS.
A remarkably fine blue one , Gentiana angustifolia, is found in the low pine barrens of New Jersey.—Meehan’s Monthly, July, 1891.
SARRACENIA PURPUREA
