HYDRANGEA PANICULATA GRANDI- 



FLORA, (Syn. H. Deutzsefolia.) 



One of the finest hardy shrubs in cultivation ; tbe flow- 

 ers are formed in large, white panicles, or trusses, six 

 inches in length. The shrub grows to a height and breadth 

 of four or five feet, and as the flowers slightly droop, few 

 plants have the grace and beauty presented by this mag- 

 nificent shrub ; for cemetery decorations it has no equal. 

 Continues in flower from August to November. 



For extra large stock plants, $2.00 each; 2d size, $I.#0 

 each ; 3d size, 50 cts. each ; 4th size, 25 cts. each. 



HYDRANGEA JAPONICA VARIEGATA. 



This, although a hardy plant, is excellent for greenhouse 

 decoration during the summer. It is more especially 

 suited for indoor use, as the leaves burn on full exposure 

 to our hot midsummer suns, but when planted in a half 

 shaded situation will do well. The leaves are deep green, 

 marked with pure white. 



50 cts. each ; $4. 50 per doz.

 25 cts. each; $2.25 per doz.

 Scandens.)

 well adapted for covering trellis-work quickly, or as a 

 house plant in winter; leaves glossy green. 

 25 cts. each ; $2.25 per doz. 



For new dark-leaved sort, "Senecio Macroglossis," see 

 paje 91. 



JASMINUM GRANDIFLORUM, (Cata- 

 lonian Jessamine.) 



A valuable winter-flowering plant, either for parlor or 

 greenhouse ; blooming without interruption from October 

 to May. The flowers are pure white; most deliciously 

 fragrant. 



25 cts. each . $2.25 per doz. 



JASMINUM REVOLUTUM.

 height of from ten to twenty feet. A splendid plant for 

 the Southern States, as it is hard}' south of Maryland. Very 

 fragrant.

 iously fragrant.

 green leaves ; used as a basket plant or for bedding with 

 other succulents.

KONIGA MARITIMA VARIEGATA, 



(Var. Sweet Alyssum.) 



This is one of our most useful variegated plants. The 

 white of the foliage predominates over the green, making 

 the plant in the summer season one of the very best we 

 have for massing or in ribbon lines, in contrast with dark 

 foliage. It is also excellent for baskets, and as it blooms 

 freely in winter, its sweet scented white flowers are much 

 used for bouquets. 



25 cts. each; $2.25 per doz. 



LILY .OF THE VALLEY, (Convallaria 



Majalis.) 



This beautiful little plant is extensively grown for forc- 

 ing in the winter and early spring months, the pendulous 

 grace of its white flower spike being much prized in the 

 construction of the most valuable baskets and bouquets. 

 It is entirely hardy, preferring a position slightly shaded. 

 {See Cut.) 



25 cts. each ; $2.25 per doz. ; 15.00 per 100. 



LILIUMS.— In Variety. 



Seldom, on the introduction of a class of plants, has so 

 much interest been taken as in the case of the Japan Lily. 

 So popular have they become, that where we annually sold 

 hundreds a few years ago, we now sell thousands. Tho 

 Liliums are entirely hardy, and many of them are fragrant. 

 The coloring of some of the Japan varieties— crimson on 

 white or rose grounds— is beautiful in the extreme.
