The following list includes those Wonderful Glowing Suns termed JAPANESE VARIETIES.
All the varieties presented here made their advent in my gardens, and their singularity consists in their being entirely destitute of pollen, and sometimes Nature asserts herself by showing a variety entirely destitute of any pollen or glandulous formation whatever, a mere mass of filaments like A CROWN OF THORNS surrounded by a guard of petals.

Japanese Imperial Varieties ....$1.50 each, except noted.
These were all originated by me and offered to the trade for the first time this season, with the exception of Lieut. Hobson. In these varieties the outer or guard petals are large, and the inner ones are transformed into golden stamens, (without pollen,) or very narrow filimentaceous petals; making them very unique flowers.
