TENDER PLANTS—Concluded 
EVER-BLOOMING TRITOMA PFITZERII 
The greatest bedding plant ever introduced, surpassing the 
finest Cannas for attractiveness and brilliancy, equal to the 
Gladiolus as a cut flower, and blooms incessantly from June un- 
til November. Plants perfectly hardy in open ground all win- 
ter south of Philadelphia. Further north they must be pro- 
tected or wintered in the cellar like the ordinary Tritoma. Just 
bury the roots in sand; nothing more is required. Should be 
planted out very early in the spring; and will commence 
growth and bloom at once, growing larger and finer every day. 
Plants show six to twenty grand flower stalks all the time, each 
holding at a height of three to four feet a cluster of flame col- 
ored flowers of indescribable beauty and brilliancy. Each clus- 
ter keeps perfect several weeks, and when it fades several more 
are ready to take its place. Fall frosts do not kill it or stop its 
blooming, and it is as brilliant as ever long after all other gar- 
den flowers have been killed. For cutting it is unsurpassed, 
and the beautiful long spikes keep several weeks in water. 
Strong plants that will bloom the first summer, !5c; 2 for 25c. 
BEAUTIFUL AND FRAGRANT VIOLETS 
Of all the delightful perfumes that of sweet Violets is the 
most delicate and pleasing. If grown in the house for winter 
flowers they should be kept at a low temperature, as they will 
not bloom freely where it is too warm. If left in the open 
ground during winter, protect with a covering of leaves. 
Double White Perpetual-Flowering Violet SWANLEY WHITE, 
or Queen of Fragrance—Of all the white Violets, this is the 
best, either for pot culture in the house or bedded out. In 
pots it grows luxuriantly and is loaded with flowers. It is 
not an uncommon sight to see as many as fifty large flowers 
open at once, presenting a beautiful sight, their delicious 
perfume filling a whole room. 15 cents each. 
LADY HUME CAMPBELL—A true ever bloomer. This is one 
of the finest of all double blue Violets. It is simply wonder- 
ful the number of beautiful flowers it produces. In color it 
is a shade of the richest intense blue. It is a charming con- 
trast with the white variety. [5 cents. 
NEW IMPERIAL OR PARMA VIOLET 
This is, without question, the largest, richest colored and most 
highly perfumed of all the Violets. It blooms very freely, liter- 
ally bending the plant with its lovely blue flowers of the larg- 
est size. Its blooming season is longer than any other Violet. 
20 cents; the three Violets for 40 cents.

TENDER VINES AND CLIMBERS 
These Make a Rapid Growth and Bloom Throughout the Summer; Are Very Showy 
THE WONDERFUL GIANT MOONFLOWER 
(Ipomea Maxima) 
A Giant in Growth and Flower and Wonderfully Fragrant. 
This grand new Moonflower is a decided improvement over the 
old well-known variety Ipomea Grandiflora. The flowers are 
more than twice the size of the old variety, oftentimes measur- 
ing from six to seven and one-half inches across, and are pro- 
duced in such wonderful profusion that they completely cover the 
vine with a veil of glistening white. Its growth is very rapid 
when planted in good rich light soil, nothing to equal it as a 
tender vine for porch and lattice shading. Fine plants, 15 
cents each. 
New Moonflower, HEAVENLY BLUE—This makes a splendid 
companion plant to the White Moonflower. It is equally rapid 
in growth, and a much freer blooming variety than the white 
one. The blooms come in clusters of five to twelve, and at 
times almost hide the vines. The flowers are the most 
heavenly blue, with reddish-purple rays, and six inches 
across. Nothing is more beautiful. 10 cents. 
IPOMEA GRANDIFLORA, the True Ever-Blooming Moonflower 
—It is called the Moonflower from its rare peculiarity of 
blooming best at night and on dull cloudy days, flowers pure 
white in great profusion. 10 cents each. 
ANTIGONON LEPTOPUS, or the ‘‘Queen’s Wreath’’—Produces 
rose colored flowers in racemes two feet long, beautiful. 10c. 
BOUGAINVILLEA SANDERIANA—The Chinese paper plant. 
Lovely clear lavender flowers. 20 cents. 
GERMAN, or PARLOR IVY—A rapid-growing plant, well 
adapted for training in the parlor. Leaves glossy green and 
flowers yellow, in clusters. 8 cents each. 
MADEIRA VINE—White flowers; exquisitely fragrant. 5 cents; 
three for {0 cents. 
SMILAX—A lovely house vine. 6 cents. 
TRADESCANTIA, or WANDERING JEW —Fine for baskets. 
Two distinct kinds. 10 cents. 
VINCA MAJOR VARIEGATA—Fine for baskets and vases; 
green and white foliage. 10 cents; large strong plants, 20c.

TUBEROUS=ROOTED BEGONIAS 
SINGLE FLOWERING—White, yellow, crimson, scarlet orange 
and pink. 10 cents, three for 25 cents; the six for 35 cents. 
DOUBLE FLOWERING—White, yellow, crimson, scarlet, orange 
and pink. 15 cents, three for 35 cents; the six for 50 cents. 
CRISPA—Giant blossoms of enormous size, with elegant fringed 
petals, with crisped or curled like appearance. Red, white, 
yellow, orange and pink. 15 cents, three for 35 cents; the 
five for 50 cents. 
CRISTATA—New crested or plume-like, petaled Begonias of 
great beauty, red, white, orange, yellow and pink. 15 cents, 
three for 35 cents; the five for 50 cents. 
CALLA LILIES 
Black Calla, ARUM SANCTUM—This is the famous Black 
Calla ; it grows so very easily and produces Calla Lily shaped 
flowers that in color are coal black. This Lily produces the 
blackest flower of any plant in existence. It is simply jet 
black; stock is scarce. 25 cents each, two for 40 cents. 
Calla Ethiopica, EGYPTIAN LILY—This is the well known 
Egyptian Lily, or Lily of the Nile, with large white flowers, 
broad foliage, and it will prosper under very adverse circum- 
stances. Piants to bloom next winter, 15 cents; strong bloom- 
ing bulbs, 25 cents each. 
New Dwarf Calla, LITTLE GEM—This Calla only grows about 
eighteen inches high, and is the freest blooming of all the 
Callas. The bloom is pure white. The following facts will 
convince anyone of its great superiority over the old sort. 
Of dwarf habit. The same plant will grow and bloom for 
years, and the quantity of bloom which a good plant will 
produce is astonishing. A large plant is hardly ever with- 
out one or more flowers. All in all, it is one of the most 
desirable plants we ever offered. 15 cents, two for 25 cents. 
Golden -Yellow Calla, RICHARDIA ELLIOTTIANA—It has the 
game habit of growth as the ordinary white variety, with 
flowers of same size and shape, but of a rich, clear, lustrous 
golden-yellow color. Blooming bulbs, 35 cents.
