This novelty is the result of careful cultivation extending over a period of many years. The plant is of dwarf habit, and above the beautiful green foliage is elevated the charm- ing comb, of a magnificent fiery red on golden yellow ground. As the comb is formed not so dense as the other varieties of Cockscomb, the grand contrast between the golden ground and the fiery red upper part of the comb comes to effectual presentation, and the effect of this wonderful coloring is brought to the highest perfection by a line of fiery gold which runs over the whole length of the head. The peculiar beauty of this new Cockscomb is seen the best in full sunshine, where the flower much resembles a blaze. This novelty is equally well adapted for the garden, as also for pot-cul- ture. Pkt. 40 cts. Cineraria grandiflora kermesina. A new semi-double hybrid vari- ety. The flowers are of an intense, dark crimson, and average 2.% inches across. Pkt. 50 cts.
