There is a growing demand for these plants as they are so attractive 

 when in bloom. We are able to offer fine stocky plants set with buds at a 

 very low rate. Treated the same as Azaleas they may be had in bloom 

 during the winter and early spring and will sell on sight. No florist doing 

 a local plant trade in greenhouse or store can afford to be without some of 

 these plants even if only as an attractive advertisement, but they are 

 certain to be profitable. {Ready in October.) 



AMPELOPSIS VEITCBII. 



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



Entirely hardy in the most exposed places, at- 

 taining a height of 20 to 30 feet in two or three 

 years, clinging to stones brick or woodwork with 

 the greatest tenacity. For covering dead trees, 

 gate posts, boundary walls, verandas, etc., it has 

 no equal. 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. Price, 

 strong one year old plants from pots, $6.00 per 100. 



NEW CANNA, 



GOV. ROOSEYELT. 



An entirely new and distinct variety. It is a 

 "sport" from a scarlet flowered sort, and instead 

 of being only mottled or spotted like all other 

 variegated sorts, in addition to the usual spotting 

 or speckling, it is strongly and distinctly striped 

 like a camellia The variation in the striping is 

 remarkable in the highest degree. In some petals 

 the coloring matter runs in even bands of red and 

 yellow, others on the same stem will be all red, 

 some flowers will be entirely red. and even some 

 spikes will have only a small proportion of yellow 

 coloring while the othets on the same plant will 

 show remarkable variegation. The red stripes on 

 the face of the petals are generally backed by yel- 

 low and the yellow by red. In rare cases there 

 may be plants that for a time ma}- not show any 

 variegation. In the whole range of flowering 

 plants it stands a unique figure and is worthy of 

 the name we bestow upon it. Height. 3 feet, green 

 foliage. A plant covered with spikes of these 

 flowers is indeed a novel sight. 



Price, ready in October, 25c. each, $2.25 per
