BOUVAEDIAS.-In Variety. 



These are now among the most important plants cultivated for "Winter flowers, owing 

 to their yearly increasing variety of color, and excellent adaptation for tbat purpose. 

 They are also effective as bedding plants for the flower-garden, beginning to bloom in 

 August, and continuing until frost. We have discarded a number of varieties we grew 

 last year, and now only offer the following : 



Elegans, bright carmine. 

 Vreelandi, white. 



Hogarth, large-flowered, rich carmine. 

 Leiantha, dark, dazzling scarlet. 

 Nice plants, 30 cents each ; $3 per dozen ; $18 per hundred. 

 Set of six varieties (including B. Jasminoides and the new B. Davidvonii), for $2. 

 For new varieties of Bouvardia, see Novelties. 



BOUVAEDIA JASMINOIDES. 



This we consider to be a most valuable acquisition to our white Winter-blooming 

 plants. The great merit of this plant consists in the ease with which it is propagated 

 by cuttings, its rapid growth, and great profusion of wax-like white flowers, which 

 resemble a Jasmine both in appearance and fragrance. It gives a richness to bouquets 

 and baskets of cut flowers that no other flower we have been cultivating equals. It 

 also makes an excellent plant for pot culture in Spring. 



Price for large plants, 50 cents each ; $4.50 per dozen, 

 small " 25 cents each; 2.25 "

CALADIUMS.-In Variety. 



We this year offer a superb collection of Caladiums, seen by many of our customers, 

 last season in our green-houses. To attempt description of the wonderful markings of 

 the leaves of this beautiful tribe, would be only confusing. Suffice it to say that they 

 assume almost every imaginable color in their variegation of spotting, veining, and 

 marbling of the leaves; the cut represents Argyrites, a beautiful white-spotted variety, 

 one of the smallest growing kinds. 



Price, 75 cents each ; $6 per dozen ; collections of twenty-four sorts for $10.50.
