The Best 

 White 

 Flo wering 

 Plant for 

 House Culture 

 in Cultivation. 



FLOWEKS OF SWAINSONA GALEGIFOLIA ALBA. (MTJOH BEDDCED.) 



SWAINSONA GALEGIFOLIA ALBA. 



A plant which is becoming very popular for house culture. Fol- 

 iage as graceful as an Acacia; flowers pure white, produced in 

 sprays of 12 to 20 flowers each, and resembling Sweet Peas. It is of 

 the easiest culture and ever- blooming. It climbs readily and is 

 splendid for the window garden, or it may be grown as a bush plant 

 by trimming it back as it grows. It bears neglect better than almost 

 any plant we know, but responds readily to good care. 75c. per 

 doz; $4.00 per 100. 



MAMMOTH VERBENAS. 



No garden is complete unless it contains a bed of Verbenas, or a 

 border planted with them. They flower incessantly throughout the 

 season. 



STBOBILANTBES DTEBIANUS. 



STROBILANTHES DYERIANUS. 



A new and attractive plant for summer bedding, suitable also 

 for growing in pots for house decoration. It forms a compact 

 bush 18 inches high, with leaves 6 to 9 inches long and 8 to 4 

 inches wide, of the most intense metallic purple color, shading 

 into light rose with a light green margin, a combination un- 

 approached by any other plant. The flowers are of a violet blue 

 and very pretty. It makes a most excellent bedding plant, hav- 

 ing been planted out at the gardens of the White House, where 

 it attracted considerable notice. Plants from 3 inch pots, $2 00 

 per doz, $12 00 per 100; from 2 inch pots, $1.25 per doz., $8.00 per 100. 



A grand companion plant for the above is the Japanese Maple- 

 leaved Abutilon, shown on page 8.

TRUE PARMA VIOLET. 



The plant shown in cut (reduced to one-third natural 

 size) is the True Parma Violet, and was engraved from 

 a photograph of a plant growing in our greenhouses. 

 It was exactly 12 inches across, and covered with 

 flowers as large as a fifty-cent piece. The color is 

 very deep, and the odor is very powerful; the health of 

 the plants is perfect: imported stock that had never 

 been forced. We had often been asked for this var- 

 iety, and after repeated efforts we have succeeded 

 in importing it successfully. We feel great satisfac- 

 tion in being able to offer it, and feel confident it 

 will give great satisfaction. Price, young plants, $2.00 

 per doz.; $12.60 per 100.
