This variety is remarkable for its early and free-flowering habit, and while its principal crop of flowers is produced in early spring, it is the first variety introduced which, in a favorable season, con- tinues to bloom throughout the summer and fall months. Its flow- ers are of large size, of a bright amaranth-red, each petal marked with a large black blotch. 25 cts. each ; $2.50 per doz. Pennisetum (Fountain Grass). The Pennisetums are now largely used as borders to beds of Cannas, Caladium Esculentum and other tall growing plants and are becoming more popular each season. Cupreum. A cross between the fine leaved P. Rueppelianum and the red leaved P. Macrophyllum Atrosanguineum. It originated with Prof. Cowell at the Botanical Gardens, Buffalo, N. Y., and combines the good points of both of its parents. The foliage is somewhat wider than P. Rueppelianum, and it has the dark coppery bronze color of P. Macrophyllum Atrosanguineum, the plumes are of a tawny crimson color. It grows 3 to 3'/2 feet high. A distinct and valuable addition to our list of tender grasses.

See page 45 of this Catalogue for illustration and description of the new hardy Fountain Grass—Pennisetum Japonicum. Watsonia (Bugle Lily). Ardernel.

It grows about 4 feet high, bearing many long-tubed, open flowers 2 inches across, which are of the purest glistening white and a fine cut flower. Extra strong bulbs, started in pots, $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100.
