(Ipomea Maxima.) 



A Giant in Growth and Flower and Wonderfully

 improvement over the old well-known variety 

 Ipomea Grandiflora. The flowers are more than 

 twice the size of the old variety, oftentimes meas- 

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

 and are produced 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 Moon- 

 flower. 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 



throughout the summer; are very showy. 



times almost hide the vines. The flowers are the 

 most heavenly blue, with reddish-purple rays, 

 and six inches across. Nothing is more beautiful.

Black Calla, ARUM SANCTUM — This is the famous

 coal-black. This Lily produces the blackest flower 

 of any plant in existence. It is simply jet black.

 known Egyptian Lily, or Lily of the Nile, with 

 large white flowers, broad foliage, and it will 

 prosper under very adverse circumstances. Plants 

 to bloom next winter, 15 cents; strong blooming 

 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 without one or more flowers. 

 All in all .it is one of the most desirable plants 

 we ever offered. 15 cents; two for 25 cents.

 shape, but of a rich, clear, lustrous golden-yel- 

 low color. Blooming bulbs, 25 cents.

 Undoubtedly the finest thing ever sent out in the 

 Calla line, and quite indispensable. Blooms all 

 winter. Compared with the ordinary Calla, it 

 gives three blooms to one; is snow-white and 

 perfect in form. Blooms on very small plants, 

 though it attains to a very large size with very 

 large flowers. Blooming bulbs, 30 cents each; 

 two for 50 cents. 



Spotted Calla, RICHARDIA ALBA MACULATA — 

 Plant with beautiful spotted leave's. It flowers 

 abundantly during the summer months when

 plant for the center of vases. The flowers are 

 shaped like those of a Calla, and are pure white, 

 shaded with violet inside. Keep dry in the win- 

 ter, and start in the spring like a Dahlia. Bloom- 

 ing bulbs. 15 cents, two for 25 cents; larger size, 

 to produce a dozen blooms, 25 cents.
