A7.AT.EA IKDICA. 



New Japanese Maple-leaved Abutilon. 



"SOUVENIR DE BONN." 



. Of all the soft-wooded foliage plants introduced in recent years, 

 none can equal this in distinctness and usefulness. It is a strong rival 

 to a Japanese maple; in fact, at first glance, it might be mistaken for 

 one. For massing in groups or in long borders, for single specimens, 

 either in the garden or greenhouse, for any and all decurative pur- 

 poses, it cannot be surpassed. It is a most striking decorative foliage 

 plant, with beautifully variegated leaves of good size, regularly and 

 evenly marked with white and green. Amid these leaves the grace 

 fully drooping, orange colored flo (vers are produced in great abund- 

 ance, forming a clear and brilliant contrast. In habit of growth this 

 Abutilon is tree like — strong and up-right, growing three to four 

 feet in one season, but quite graceful. For summer bedding and 

 greenhouse decoration in winter it is equally valuable. Price. 

 30c. each. $1.50 per doz., $10.00 per 100. 



ASPARAGUS PLTJMOSTJS NANUS 



One of the handsomest of our foliage plants. The leaves are a 

 bright green, are gracefully arched, and are as finely woven as the 

 finest silken mesh, their lasting qualities when cut are remarkable, 

 retaining their freshness for weeks, hence it ranks as the most valu- 

 able plant we have for this purpose, surpassing Maiden Hair Ferns 

 in grace, fineness of texture and richness of color. Price, strong 

 plants from 2-in. pots, 81,50 per doz., $8.00 per 100 



ASPARAGUS TENUISSIMUS. 



Very tine filmy foliage. A handsome climbing plant for the window, 

 and a very useful pot plant. Price, $1.00 per doz., $6.00 per 100. 



ASPARAGUS SCANDENS DEFLEXUS 



A very pretty variety with glaucous green foliage of a drooping habit. 

 Very ornamental for a hanging basket in conservatory, when covered with 

 its brilliant red fruit. Strong plants from 3-in. pots, $1.50 per doz., $8.00 

 per 100. 



AMPELOPSIS VEITCHIL 



Sometimes called " Boston Ivy" and "Japan Ivy." 



No picture can portray the beauty of this grand climbing 

 plant. It is adapted to all situations, and transforms the 

 humblest cottage. It is entirely hardy in the most exposed 

 places, attaining a height of 20 to 3o feet in two or three years, 

 clinging to stones, brick or wood work with the greatest tenacity. 

 It is a great protection to houses, as the leaves lapping oyer each 

 other like slates on a roof effectually prevent rain from penetrating 

 the walls. For covering dead trees, gate posts, boundary walls, 

 verandas, etc., it has no equal, while its rapid growth and tenacious 

 clinging qualities make it a most desirable plant for staying up 

 terraces. In the summer the foliage is a rich shade of green, but in 

 fall it assumes the most gorgeous tints of scarlet, crimson and orange, 

 so dazzling as to be seen at a great distance. We sold over oo.OOO 

 plants of this the past season, a large proportion of which were used 

 on churches and public buildings. Price, $10.00 per 100. 



FRAGRANT WHITE CLEMATIS. 



Clematis Paniculata. One of the most beautiful of our hardy- 

 flowering vines. The flowers are pure white, and are borne in great 

 panicles or clusters of bloom, fairly covering covering the plant, so 

 that it is a mass or sheet of fleecy white. The fragrance is delicious, 

 resembling the English hawthorn blossoms; and is so subtile and 

 penetrating that a large plant in bloom will fill the air with fragrance. 

 It begins to bloom late in August or early in September, at a time 

 when most other hardy climbers are out of bloom, an inestimable 

 advantage. Price, $1.0y per doz.. $8.00 per 100. 



(Anthemis Cor on aria. fl. pi.) 



Thousands of this valuable plant are now sold annually in the New York 

 market, being so attractive when in bloom that it sells on sight. The 

 flowers are clear golden yellow, it blooms without cessation the entire season; 

 in winter as well as in summer it is ever covered with bloom. Each sesaon's 

 experience with this grand plant more than confirms the high opinion 

 formed of it when first sent out. (See cut.) $1.00 per doz.. &6.00 per 100. 



CAMELLIA JAPONICA 



We offer splendid plants of the above, bushy, well-grown specimens, it 

 is seldom that such fine plants of these are offered for sale. The varieties 

 are the best that couid be obtained from the most celebrated growers of 

 Europe. They embrace Double White, Double Pink, Double Bed and 

 Double Variegated. Price, 1st size, $9.00 per doz. ; $70.00 per 100; 

 2d size, $6 00 per doz.; $45.00 per 100. All plants from 5 inch pots 

 well branched 18 to 24 in. and 15 to 18 in. high according to price.
