 freely on upright stalks perfectly erect, instead of slightly 

 drooping, as the other varieties of Hibiscus are.

 and, as in all this family, produced abundantly. They are 

 of a beautiful lemon color, marked with pink at the base, 



very distinct.

HIBISCUS (Rosa Sinensis) FULGIDUS. 



Flowers very large, averaging five inches in diameter, 

 of an intense carmine scarlet, paler towards the centre,

 flowers.

HYBRID CAPE GERANIUM, 



" Echinatum."

 little known. They bloom very freely, and are useful for 

 cut flowers. This species is a representative of the class; 

 the leaves are covered with a white silvery down ; flowers 

 pure white; the upper petals feathered with maroou; 

 borne on well-formed trusses. 



$1.00 each. 



NEW HELIOTROPE, "Snow Wreath." 



The nearest approach to pure white we have yet had in 

 the Heliotrope ; truss very large, growth compact, a decided 

 acquisition ; exquisite fragrance. We found it last winter 

 most valuable for cut flowers. 



25 cts. each ; $2.25 per doz. 



NEW WHITE HYDRANGEA, 

 "Thos. Hogg." 



This plant has now been very generally distributed over the 

 entire country. To those who have not yet obtained it, we 

 would say, that the flowers are pure white, often measuring 

 fifteen inches in diameter ; the plant, when fully grown, 

 covering a space of six feet in diameter— making it a valua- 

 ble plant for cemetery decoration or other purposes, It is 

 hardy everywhere, if a slight protection of leaves is given 

 around the roots in winter. We have a large stock, and 

 offer it at the following low rates — all plants that mil bloom 

 -this season.

Another fine variety. The bracts or rays are a deep 

 pink, mottled with white. It is hardy, and is entirely dis- 

 tinct. It belongs to the Hydrangea Japonica class, but is 

 much snperior, and is distinct from that species.

NEW GERMAN IVY, 



( Senecio Macroglossis.) 



A variety of this popular plant, which has become 

 much more valued than the old sort. It resembles the En- 

 glish Ivy to such a degree that it is often mistaken for it ; 

 the leaves have a metallic lustre, the veins and ribs being of 

 a lighter color. It has the same strong, vigorous growth as 

 the common German Ivy, and, for baskets, etc., it is unsur- 

 passed. 



30 cts. each ; $3.00 per doz. 



IPOMEA NOCTIPHYTON, 



(Evening Glory.) 



A rapid growing plant of the "Morning Glory" family, 

 with pure white, moon-like flowers, six inches in diameter, 

 which open at night. A German Summer Garden, near 

 Washington, had all the arbors covered with this plant, and 

 when lighted up, it was an attraction for thousands. We 

 sold it largely last seasen, and it invariably has given satis- 

 faction. 



30 cts. each; $3.00 per doz.
