NEW VARIEGATED GROUND IVY. 



(Nepeta Clechoma.) 



EVEKYBODY is familiar with the common green leaved 

 Ground Ivy, so useful for many purposes. This new 

 variety is a variegated form of it, equally hardy, vigor- 

 ous and rapid in growth, but superior because of the great 

 beauty of foliage— sweet scented too— which is very prettily 

 marked with white on a ground of bright green. For vases, 

 hanging baskets and such like it is especially adapted, and is 

 scarcely equaled by any other plant of its habit that we know 

 of. For cemetery use for the covering of graves it is very use- 

 ful and very appropriate, and we think no doubt will soon be 

 extensively used for that purpose. Price each 10 cts. 



HYDRANGEAS. 



*'RED BRANCHED"— New— This new Hydrangea is declared 

 by the introducers to be the best of the Hortensis class ever 

 produced. The trusses are larger and brighter than those 

 of Otaska, and it produces bloom in great profusion. Price, 

 each, 75 cts. 



NEW DOUBLE PINK (H. Stellata Rubra Plena)— This is a 

 valuable acquisition. The flowers are perfectly double 

 and are a beautiful rosy-red in color. It is a singularly 

 beautiful object when in full bloom. As hardy as other 

 Japan sorts. Price, each, 50 cts. 



NEW WHITE FRINGED (H. Stellata Fimbrlata^— A very 

 handsome variety, having immense trusses of pure white 

 flowers, fringed, and having a spot in the center of crimson. 

 The plant attains a height and breadth of three to four 

 feet. It is a great improvement on the old white " Thomas 

 Hogg," being better and even hardier. Price, each, 50 cts. 



HORTENSIS— An old favorite. Flowers pink, shading to pur- 

 ple. Each, 20 cts. to |1.00. 



THOMAS HOGG— A good variety, almost pure white. Each 

 20 cts. to $1.00. 



HYDRANGEAS— PANICBLATA GRANDIPLOIU. 



Each 



OTASKA— Very large pink flowers and fine glossy leaves. 

 20 cts. to $1.00. 



PANICULATA GRANDIFLORA— Pre-eminently the grandest 

 of all the flowering hardy shrubs. It is perfectly hardy, re- 

 quiring no protection whatever. The accompanying cut 

 gives a very accurate representation of it when in full 

 bloom. It begins to flower early in summer and continues 

 until late in fall. Planted singly or in groups it has a charm- 

 ing eifect. Each, 25 to 50 cts. Extra large plants, $1.50.

 ^X* climbing plant has of late attracted

 presents a striking appearance, never 

 failing to immediately arrest attention..

 very interesting, and is easily man-

 are tubular and about an inch or a little 

 more in length; bright scarlet at the 

 lower portion, and yellow towards the 

 apex of the tube. The flowers are pro- 

 duced in great profusion. Usually the plant makes a rapid growth, and it 

 becomes necessary to resort to pruning to keep it in form. It should find a 

 place in every collection of plants. Price, 20 cts. each; $2,00 per doz. 



FLOWER-[lpomoea Learii.] 



LOVERS of plants were very much interested in the Moon Flower when it 

 was first introduced, and many thousands of this singular plant were sold 

 the' first season it was put in the market. Now we have a new one equal- 

 ly interesting because it is possessed of a flower which is a beautiful blue in 

 color. When grown alongside of the white one the contrast produces a most 

 charming effect. Trained on a trellis if grown in a pot, or up a pillar, or on the 

 back wall of the greenhouse, it is a most attractive object. Price, 15 cts- each;
