PLUMBAGOS. 



Sanguinea. — The 

 Plumbagos are very desir- 

 able plants for bedding or 

 house culture, and are ad- 

 mired by all for their ele- 

 gant trusses of bloom and 

 the delicate colors of their 

 flowers. The light blue 

 and white varieties are 

 well-known favorites, but 

 with the new variety, San- 

 guinea, I have something 

 that is entirely distinctand 

 the prettiest of all Plum- 

 bagos. The trusses of 

 bloom are larger than in 

 the older varfeties. often 

 measuring ten inches in 

 length, and of the loveliest 

 bright pink or deep rose. 

 Order one and be surprised. 15 cents each. 



Capeusis, Flora Alba.— This is a splendid novelty. The ex- 

 act counterpart of Plumbago Capensis except in color, which in

this beautiful noveltv is a clear white. This is one of the lead- 

 ing new plants of the year. Do not confound this with the old 

 worthless white. One of the most satisfactorv bedding plants 

 out. I recommend this highly. 10 cents each. 



Capensis.— This produces large heads of light blue flowers. 

 It has the most peculiar shade of blue of any flower in cultiva- 

 tion. Always in bloom and an elegant bedder. 15 cents each, 



PEPEROMIA MACULOSA.

 dered with frosted silver. Called Watermelon Geranium by 

 some. 10 cents each.

What the introducers say. 

 " It is with positive pride 

 that we introduce this new 

 white Rose to our friends. 

 It is a strong, vigorous grow- 

 er, making handsome bush- 

 es. The buds and flowers 

 are of the very largest size, 

 pure white in color, so full 

 and double and perfect in 

 shape as to resemble a Ca- 

 mellia flower. The fra- 

 grance is delicious. There 

 is nothing among white Ro- 

 ses to compare it to. It is 

 by far the grandest of all 

 white Roses. This we say 

 without any hesitancy. Itisa 

 true ever-bloomer, belong- 

 ing to the Tea Rose family. 

 It was eminently fitting that 

 wenamed this Rose in honor 

 of the hallowed memory of 

 the grandest of all women, 

 Frances E. Willard, the 

 great apostle of Temperance 

 and Purity, the white Rose 

 being the emblem of the so- 

 ciety (W. C. T. U.) for which 

 she gave her life. We are 

 the introducers of this Rose, 

 and control the entire slock, 

 having a certificate of regis- 

 tration from the Society of 

 American florists." I make 

 the price low for such a 

 grand Rose. Strong 

 plants, 25 cents each; 

 three for 50 cents. Extra 

 strong two and three- 

 year-old plants, to give 

 anabnndance of bloom 

 this year, 50 cents each. 



The Great Rose for 

 House Culture, Satigui- 

 uea, or Otaheite Rose. — 

 This old-fashioned Rose has 

 been practically ignored in 

 the past twenty years, ex- 

 cept in certain localities 

 where its worth and beauty 

 hava been known. It be- 

 longs to the Centifolia Muscosa section of Roses, and is the one 

 Rose that is eminently adapted to house culture, as it thrives 

 uuder almost any conditions and surroundings. It is the only 

 Rose in my whole list that will grow luxuriantly and bloom 

 freely under adverse conditions. The foliage is small and of a 

 reddish east, when growing rapidly. The flowers are semi- 

 double, of the most intense velvety crimsou, very brigh and 





THE GRANDEST WHITS ROSE IN WORLD, FRANCES E. WILLARD. 



brilliant and freely produced. Besides its adaptation to house 

 culture, it is grand for bedding out for a mass, of bloom. It is 

 employed in the East by the hundreds of thousands for this 

 purpose. Be sure and try this Rose, either indoors or out. You 

 cannot help but succeed with it. I guarantee my stock true. 

 10 cents each; $1.00 per dozen; large two-year-old 

 plants, 50 cents each.
