MISS ELLA V. BAINES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. 



TENDER PLANTS-Concluded. 



Beautiful and Fragrant Violets 



Of all the delightful perfumes that of the 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. Price, 10 cents each. 



LADY HUME CAMPBELL— A true ever bloomer. This is one 

 of the finest of all double blue Violets. It is simply won- 

 derful the number of beautiful flowers it produces. In color 

 it is a shade of the richest intense blue. It is a charming 

 contrast with the white variety. Price, 10 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, 

 literally bending the plant with its lovely blue flowers of the 

 largest size. Its blooming season is longer than any other 

 Violet. Price, 20 cents each; the three Violets for 35 cents.

TENDER VINES AND CLIMBERS 



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 

 measuring from six to seven and one-half inches across, and 

 are produced in such wonderful profusion that they com- 

 pletely cover the vine with a veil of glistening white. Its 

 grow-th is very rapid when planted in a 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, arid 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. Price, 10 cents. 



These Make a Rapid Growth and 

 Bloom Throughout the Summer, 

 and are very showy. 



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. Price, 10 cents each. 



ANTIGONON LEPTOPUS— Or the "Queen's Wreath." Pro- 

 duces rose colored flowers in racemes two feet long, beau- 

 tiful. Price, 10 cents. 



BOUGAINVILLEA SANDERIANA— The Chinese paper plant. 

 Lovely clear lavender flowers. Price, 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. Price, 8 cents each. 



MADEIRA VINE — White flowers; exquisitely fragrant. Price, 

 5 cents, three for 10. cents. 



SMI LAX — A lovely house vine. Price, 6 cents. 



TRADESCANTIA, or WANDERING JEW— Fine for baskets. 

 Two distinct kinds. _Price, 10 cents each. 



VINCA MAJOR VARIEGATA— Fine for baskets and vases; 

 green and white foliage. 10 cents; large strong plants, 20 

 cents. 



TENDER BULBS 



Tuberous-Rooted 



Begonias 



Tuberous-Rooted Begonias, 



These are among the 

 very handsomest of our 

 summer blooming plants, 

 flowering throughout the 

 season, and as fine and 

 varied in their colors as 

 the Geranium family. They 

 are splendid hedders, de- 

 lighting in a light scil of 

 woods earth, very old cow 

 manure and sharp sand. 

 See that the bed is in 

 partial shade, and you 

 will lie delighted with the 

 results. In the South, or 

 where they cannot be 

 planted in the shade of 

 a house, a covering of 

 burlap or canvas some six 



or eight feet above them, will allow them to come to absolute 

 perfection, but they must have plenty of light and air. Do not 

 allow them to become dry. When through flowering they can 

 be dried off, shaken free of earth, wrapped in cotton until 

 May, when they may be started again. 

 SINGLE — White, yellow, crimson, rose, scarlet. Price, 10 



cents, three for 25 cents, seven for 50 cents. 

 DOUBLE — In the same colors. Price, 15 cents, three for 40 



cents, six for 75 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 pro- 

 duces the blackest flower of any plant in existence. It is 

 simply jet black; stock is scarce. Price, 30 cents each, two 

 for 50 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 cir- 

 cumstances. Small plants, to bloom next winter, 10 cents; 

 strong blooming bulbs, 25 cents each,
