TENDER PLANTS— Continued 



FUCHSIAS or Ladies' Eardrops 



Price, 10 cents each, except where noted. 



BLACK PRINCE — This is, without question, the very finest 

 Fuchsia grown for the amateur to cultivate. It makes a 

 shapely bush, is robust in growth, free from disease and in- 

 sects, and is probably the freest in blooming. I have seen 

 specimen plants six feet in height and four feet across loaded 

 with thousands of bright buds and blossoms of a beautiful 

 waxy carmine or pink color. Certainly a plant of easy cul- 

 ture. Price, 15 cents. 



ENFANT PRODIGY — A grand Fuchsia; bright red sepals, deep 

 purple corolla. 



New Fuchsia MARY— A most wonderful plant novelty, foliage 

 is long and pointed, of a bronzy green. Its greatness lies in 

 the fact that the flowers are different from any other Fuch- 

 sia, being fully three inches long, of the richest scarlet col- 

 or. Comes in big clusters. My word for it this plant will 

 not only startle you, but will please you as well. Price, 20 

 cents each. 



MONSTROSA— Of the largest size; scarlet sepals, double, 

 snwv-white corolla. Price, 15 cents. 



SPECIOSA — Habit erect and compact, presenting a decidedly 

 neat and attractive appearance as a pot plant. The fine 

 star-shaped flowers are produced in profusion, and begin 

 when plants are quite young. The flowers are three inches 

 or more in length ; tube and sepals bright rose, corolla bril- 

 liant carmine ; it blooms quite freely. 



PHENOMENAL— Large, double purple. Price, 15 cents. 



New Trailing QUEEN FUCHSIA— Entire new, differing from 

 other varieties in its habit of growth, as it is a trailing vine. 

 Flowers are borne in drooping clusters. Price, 15 cents. 



THE NEW HYDRANGEAS 



These make handsome specimens in large pots or tubs and 



can be kept in the cellar during winter. The following new 



sorts from France : 



AVALANCHE — A splendid large white, which has made a 

 reputation for itself during the past two seasons. Price, 25 

 cents. 



BOUQUET ROSE — Large trusses of well-formed flowers, rosy 

 amber turning to bright pink ; has proven a special favorite 

 in the New York market this season. Price, 35 cents. 



FRAICHEUR — Very large, regularly shaped flowers, white, 

 delicately suffused with rose. Price, 35 cents. 



LA LORRAINE — Very large flowers, pale rose, turning to 

 bright pink ; has become a general favorite during the past 

 two years. Price, 35 cents; large size, 65 cents. 



MONT ROSE — Immense panicles of clear flesh-rose, entirely 

 distinct. Price, 35 cents; large size, 65 cents. 



MME. E. MOUILLERE— This has been the favorite white va- 

 riety in the New York market this year, very free flowering, 

 of good size and form. Awarded silver medal at the Na- 

 tional Flower Show at Boston last year. A great favorite 

 with English growers, one London grower known to me hand- 

 ling over thirty thousand of this variety alone. Price, 35 

 cents; large size, 65 cents. 



MLLE. RENEE GAILLARD — Very large panicles of milky- 

 white, irregularly dentated flowers, which is certain to be- 

 come popular ; it is entirely distinct. One of the best grow- 

 ers of Hydrangeas says" that this variety should really have 

 been awarded the Silver Medal given to Mme. Emile Mouil- 

 lere last year as the best white. Price, 40 cents; large size, 

 75 cents. 



MQUSSELINE — With me a beautiful plumbago-blue. The in- 

 troducer describes it as a beautiful mauve-rose with cream- 

 colored center ; the flower heads are large and held erect ; a 

 decided acquisition. Price, 35 cents. 

 SPECIAL OFFER — I will send one each new Hydrangeas, 



casting $2.75, for $2.00. 



Older Sorts Hydrangeas 



OTAKSA — The old, well-known forcing Hydrangea ; flowers 



large, of a beautiful unique pink. Price, 15 cents; larger 



plants, 40 cents. 

 THOMAS HOGG — Another old-timer, with pure white flowers 



produced in immense trusses. Price, 10 cents; larger plants, 



30 cents. 



FRAGRANT HELIOTROPES 



Price, 10 cents each. 

 SNOW WREATH — Superb large -clusters of deliciously fragrant 



flowers of pure white. 

 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 w'hite center, gives us 

 something entirely new in color, either for summer decora- 

 tion or winter flowering. By far the best of all Heliotropes. 

 FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE— Best free-flowering light lavender. 

 CHIEFTAIN — Color deepest violet-purple, large white eye; very 

 ^fragrant ; the plant is of vigorous habit ; very floriferous. 

 The above Four Heliotropes for 35 cents. 



New Pink Hibiscus "Peachblow" 



This is a sport from the double red Hibiscus Rosea Sinensis. 



The flowers are double and from four to five inches in di- 

 ameter, of a charming, rich, clear pink color, with small, deep 

 crimson center. It is one of the freest flowering plant novel- 

 ties recently offered. The color is an entirely new and beau- 

 tiful shade, and it blooms abundantly and continuously dur- 

 ing the summer and fall months. Large plants two and three 

 years old make a magnificent show. It will give general sat- 

 isfaction to those who grow it, either in pots or planted out 

 in the garden. It blooms well in the winter in the greenhouse 

 or in any sunny window. Price, 15 cents each; strong, fine 

 plants, 30 cents each. 



CHINESE HIBISCUS 



Price, 10 cents each, any three for 25 cents. I have large 

 plants of Hibiscus, ready to bloom, for 25 cents each. These 

 are handsome plants. 



SINENSIS GIGANTEUS— This is a plant for house cultivation 

 during winter er summer, or for planting outside during sum- 

 mer. It blooms at all times of the year. The plants branch 

 freely and flower profusely, commencing to bloom when not 

 more than a foot high. As a specimen plant for large pots 

 it has an equal only in the Brugmansia. Its flowers are of 

 enormous size, often eight to ten inches across, opening flat, 

 and of such vivid crimson-scarlet color that they can be 

 seen from a long distance like a flaming torch. They can be 

 wintered in the cellar or pit with perfect safety, and if one 

 does not care to grow them all winter, one should have one 

 or two for summer display. 



GRANDIFLORUS— Rich, glossy cut-leaved foliage, literally 

 covering the plant with scarlet-crimson flowers. 



SUB-VIOLACEOUS — Flowers of enormous size, beautiful car- 

 mine, tinted with violet. Probably the lagest flower of the 

 Hibiscus family, and an unusually free bloomer. I take, 

 great pleasure in recommending this fine plant. 



DOUBLE CRIMSON — This grand variety has immense flowefs 

 of the richest crimson ; combined with glossy foliage, ren- 

 ders it best of all. 



AURANTIACUS — Large and double with orange-colored flowers. 



CARMINIATUS PERFECTUS— Full, round flowers of perfect 

 shape and of a rich, soft carmine-rose, with a deep crimson 

 eye ; fully six inches in diameter. 



COLLERII — Flowers buff-yellow, with a crimson-scarlet base; 

 peculiarly handsome and double. 



VERSICOLOR — A variety combining in its flowers all the col- 

 ons of the whole family, being handsomely striped crimson, 

 buff, rose and white. Flowers eight inches in diameter. 

 SPECIAL OFFER— I will send the entire set of ten distinct 



kinds of Hibiscus for $1.00. 



New Hydrangea, Mile. Renee Gaillard.
