GEXISTA MOXOSPEEMA PEZVDELA. Shrub, S to 10 feet. The 

 Cape Broom is fast becoming a favorite for its graceful, pendulous streamers of pure 

 bloom, that may be likened to a bridal veil, when the shrub is in full flower: 

 easily grown, and flowering the second season from seed, if well nourished. One 

 of the handsomest flowering shrubs in cultivation. Pkt 10c. 



Eldorado. A very pretty genista of spreading habit, that is completely 

 covered with long spikes of soft, golden-yellow flowers all the year. Pkt JOc. 



HELIOTROPE. 



Very few people know that heliotrope is very easily raised from seed, and 

 that young plants come into bloom very early. Those who grow flowers should 

 have the great pleasure of testing them. All varieties mixed. Pkt 5c. 



Lemoines Hybrids. The flowers of these varieties are larger than the 

 ordinary heliotrope: the foliage is also larger, and the trusses immense, often 6 

 inches across, and very beautiful shades of purple. Splendid mixed. Pkt 10c. 



Black Foliage. Two new heliotropes: "Egypt" and "Midnight," a dusky 

 pair, most appropriately named : the stems are black as ink, the foliage beautiful 

 bronzy green, so dark as to be almost black. Midnight has a fine tree -like habit 

 that is very distinct, while Egypt is round and bushy, with lustrous foliage resem- 

 bling thick crepe. The flowers of both are beautiful shades of bluish purple, var- 

 iegated with white and lighter purple. Both are extremely handsome, and the 

 seeds can be depended upon to bring fine, dark-leaved varieties. Mixed, pkt 15c
