PARIS DAISIES, 



OR MARGUERITES. 



New Paris Daisy, Mad. Gailbert, — This is one of the finest new 

 plants that has ever been introduced. Nothing can be 

 imagined that is finer. All know the old varieties of Paris 

 Daisies, how beautiful and much sought after for decorations 

 of all kinds. This new variety blooms constantly and will 

 produce ten blooms to the old variety's one. Nothing is so 

 airy and graceful as these blossoms of large, white petals, 

 sho-ving a yellow disk. Price, 15 cents each; four for 60 

 cents. 



New Pa> is Daisy, Etoile de Or,— The new yellow Paris Daisy, 



similar to the above, but a rich golden color. The two 



varieties go handsomely together. Price. 15 cents each; four 



for 60 cents. The two varieties for 26 cents. 



I advise my customers to plant these Daisies largely. A 



half doztn or dozen plants will be a constant source of delight. 



FANCY-LEAVED CALADIUMS. 



These plants are especially valuable for decorating conserva- 

 tories, window-boxes, and as specimen plants. They are mag- 

 nificent, planted in beds outdoors, nothing being more showy. 

 The brilliant cardinal-red, cream-pink, white, and various shades 

 of green that are displayed in the veinings and blotches of the 

 leaves cannot be obtained in any other class of plants. For ar- 

 ranging floral baskets or table decorations they are quite as 

 handsome as any flower. I have a fine collection of first-class, 

 distinct, brilliantly marked varieties. Price, well»dried extra 

 large bulbs, oar selection of sorts, 36 cents each; three for $1.00. 

 These are the finest bnlbs you ever saw of Fancy Caladiums. 



HELIANTHUS (Hardy Sunflower). 



This fine plant will live through our Northern Winters with 

 proiection, or can be wintered in the cellar. Height three to four 

 feet, and bears a profusion of perfectly douole, bright golden 

 flowers, about the size and form of a nice Dahlia, for which it is 

 sometimes mistaken. One of the really good things which should 

 be in every garden. Price, 10 cents each. 



SOLANUM JASTOOIDES uRANDIFLORUK!. 



A beautiful new plant which inclines to a trailing habit, bia 

 never attains a greater height than three to five feet, and can be 

 pinched back to the bush form. Its flowers are star-shaped, like 

 Clematis, and borne in enormous panicles or clusters, often a 

 foot across. In color they are pure white, with a violet tinge on 

 back of petals and on the buds. In pots it is a fine bloomer, both 

 Summer and Winter. But it is grander for outdoor culture. When 

 trained against the wall or on a trellis, and showing hundreds of 

 these magnificent panicles of bloom.it cannot be described. It is 

 a free and constant bloomer, commencing when only a foot high. 

 and, like the Manettia, its flowers keep perfect a long time before 

 fading. No more beautiful object can be seen than these two 

 vines growing side by side and mingling their profusion of bloom. 

 Price, strong plants, 10 cents each; three for 25 cents. 



MAMMOTH VERBENAS. 



Our plants are thrown with care, and are very robust. New 

 varieties are being - constantly introduced and old ones discarded* 

 so that it is difficult, and we might say useless, to offer a long- 

 list of named varieties. We offer these mammoth Verbenas in 

 pure white, pure scarlet, striped and blue. Price, 8 cents each; 

 four for 25 cents. 



PITTISPQRTJM TOBIRA. 



An elegant hard-wooded shrub. Hardy in the South. Makes 

 handsome specimens, growing into a small tree in a few years. 

 It bears small, white flowers in large bracts, or heads, which are 

 so delicious in fragrance as to remind one of orange blossoms, 

 Pj-ico, fine plants, 25 cents each. 



HELIOTEOPES. 



Florence Nightingale. — Light lavender. Price, 8 cents each. 

 Snow Wreath.- Nearly white, large truss. Price, 8 cents each. 

 Queen of Violets. — Violet-purple, large eye. Price, 8 cents each, 



NEW HELIOTEOPES. 



Souvenir. — In bloom it is exquisite. The deep lavender color of 

 the flower contrasts admirably with the beautiful dark-green 

 foliage. Price, 10 cents each. 



The Queen. — For a neat, dwarf habit, profusion of bloom and 

 richness of odor this Heliotrope has no equal, and its vivid 

 color of royal purple, with a distinct white center, gives us 

 something entirely new in color, either for Summer decora- 

 tion or Winter flowering. Price. 16 cents each. 



The Virgin. — The introducer describes it as low-growing and 

 with strong, luxuriant foliage. The flower is very large and 

 of snowy whiteness. Price, 10 cents each. 



The three New Heliotropes for 30 cents. 



NEW HELIOTROPE, THE CH/EEN.
