NEW HELIOTROPE, SAPPHIRE.— 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 Sum- 

 mer decoration or Winter flowering. 



THE NEW HYDRANGEA, MONSTROSA.-This is by far the 



best of all Hydrangeas, the flower being almost double in size ot 

 the older varieties, and its free-blooming quality is unequaled bv 

 any p'ant we know of. The color is at first a deep, rich pink, 

 gradually changing to almost a snow-white. Blooms have been 

 measured fifteen inches in length by ten inches through. It is 

 indeed an enormous and beautiful flower. 



OTAHEITE ORANGE, NEWDWARP ORANGE. -This is one 



of the prettiest plants we grow. Every one is delighted with it. 

 It blooms and fruits when quite small. We have seen plants in 

 bloom and fruit when but six inches in height. Don't fail to try 

 it, as it delights everybody. 



GRAND YELLOW CHRYSANTHEMUM, GOLDEN HAR- 

 VEST,— The grandest yellow ever offered. This fine variety

 neled lengthwise. A perfect Tapanese incurved of most beautiful

 sive flower, with petals of exquisite 

 form, a beautiful, clear, soft peach- 

 pink within when in perfection, 

 and silvery-pink without; flowers

 outer petals reflexed to stem, with 

 incurved tips, lasting quality. Un- 

 excelled. Undoubtedly one of the 

 best varieties of the year. Has

 and gold medals. 



SHRUBBY VERBENA. — This 

 is a charming plant that is 'con- 

 stantly in bloom. The colors range 

 from pure white to brilliant red. 

 It will be sure to please you. By 

 many called Lantana, 



NEWDEEP RED CARNATION, 



JUBILEE.— This is the finest Car- 

 nation that has been produced in Hu%\ 

 Years. It blooms both Winter and '"'Hi 

 Summer. It is the best of all Car- 

 nations. 



SWAINSONIA ROSEA,— The prettiest plant of any in our col- 

 lection. This is the prettiest all round plant for house culture 

 that we know of. It is of such easy culture that everybody suc- 

 ceeds with it. It is a rapid grower, and in a short time makes a 

 handsome, compact bush, as it naturally grows into a shapely 

 plant. The foliage is deep green and small. It bears its panicles 

 six inches long, deep rose or red, pea-shaped flowers in the great- 

 est profusion, and of the sweetest fragrance. Indeed, it is .as sweet 

 in perfume as Sweet Peas. We have been cultivating it for the 

 past two years, and it is seldom out of flower either Winter or 

 Summer. ' Be sure and try it, as it will certainly please you. 



NEW WHITE CARNATION, WHITE WINGS.-This beauti- 

 ful Carnation is remarkable for its extremely vigorous growth, 

 very large flowers, periect shape, purest white. Indeed, for size 

 and freedom of bloom, purity of color, which is immaculate, 

 sweetness of perfume that is delicious, vigorous growth, this 

 variety has no equal. The best white by far out of a dozen 

 varieties we have of that color. 



NEW JASMINE, MAID OF ORLEANS, -Easily grown, even 

 small plants bearing a profusion of double, creamy-white flowers, 

 having a delicious perfume. A plant of this lovely variety will, 

 when in bloom, scent up a whole yard or house. It is by far the 

 most delicious in bloom and fragrance of all Jasmines, or indeed, 

 for that matter, we know of no flower that emits such a delightful 

 fragrance. It is sweeter than a Tuberose, and that is saying a 

 good deal for it. Will thrive out of doors and bloom through the 

 season. A magnificent plant, and will become one of the most 

 valuable and popular pot plants when it becomes better known. 

 It can be stored in a dry' cellar in Winter. It will please you. 

 Try a plant. 



NEW GOLDEN-YELLOW ROSE, STAR OF GOLD.-This 



splendid Rose is admittedly one of the brightest colored and 

 most brilliant Roses we have, and is highly recommended for 

 bedding and general planting, as well as for growing in pots and 

 conservatory. The color is a rich, deep, golden-yellow, exceed- 

 ingly bright and striking, and both buds and flower are large and 

 elegantly formed, fully double, and borne on nice, long stems, 

 which renders it especially attractive, as well as nice for cutting. 

 It is a vigorous and healthy grower and a quick and constant 

 bloomer, quite fragrant, a really excellent Rose in every wav, 

 and never fails to please. If you want a good, deep yellow Rose 

 that is a good bloomer, plant Star of Gold. 



NEW PURE WHITE HYBRID 

 TEA ROSE, JEAN DE ARC- 



I his beautiful Rose has not only a 

 royal name, but is a royal Rose as 

 well. We have white Roses that 

 have elegant buds, but when full 

 blown are not all that is desired. 

 Then again, we have white Roses 

 that are elegant when fullblown, 

 but have poor buds. This Rose 

 combinesboth these good qualities. 

 It is a continuous bloomer, produc- 

 ing successive crops of buds and 

 flowers in greatest profusion. The 

 buds a-e very beautifully formed, 

 with large petals, of the best sub- 

 stance, show no center when fully 

 open. Color pure snowy-white. and 

 when you add a rich perfume, 

 coupled with a vigorous growth, 

 what more could you ask? This 

 Rose is an easy winner over all 

 competitors in its color, and we 

 predict that more of it will be 

 planted than all other white Roses 

 combined. 

 NEW GERANIUM, MRS, E, G. 



JTTT.T,. — No one who has not seen 

 this lovely Geranium as it is grown 

 in the beds and borders of North- 

 ern parks can imagine the beauty 

 that lies in a flower of that color. 

 Of a deep, soft salmon, rather than 

 pink, but fresh and bright, the 

 blossoms are perfect in form, and 

 borne well and clear ahove the 

 foliage. The long beds of it seen 

 in the Chicago parks, with their 

 edgings of "Golden Bedder" Co- 

 leus, formed the most beautiful 

 Geranium planting we have ever 

 seen, and the combination is de- 

 lightful. It stands the sun perfectly, and is, ir. our opinion, the 

 finest double variety of any color for massing, when a delicate 

 and artistic effect is desired. 



THE WONDERFUL NEW ROSE, PINK SOUPERT.-The 



Pink Soupert produces Mowers ot various shades of pink, some- 

 times almost red, then again a bright pink is seen, almost identi- 

 cal in color with that grand old Rose, Hermosa Then again the 

 same bush will produce light pink flowers, suffused with lilac. 



THE GREATEST OF ALL HIBISCUS, SINENSIS GIGAN- 



TEUS —A plant for house culture during Winter or Summer, or 

 tor plunging outside during Summer. It blooms at all times of 

 the year The plants make a hard-wooded shrub like an Oleander, 

 branching freely and flowering profusely, commencing to bloom 

 when not more than a foot high. As a soecimen plant for large 

 pots or tubs it has an equal only in the Brugmansia. Its flowers 

 are of enormous size, often eight to tf.n inches across, opening 

 flat, and of such a vivid crimson-scarlet color that they cin be 

 seen for a long distance like a flaming torch.
