LANTANAS, General Collection. 



We have few continuous blooming plants that afford a greater 

 variety of colors than the Lantana. It is yearly becoming more 

 extensively cultivated, so that it ranks as one of the important 

 plants we grow. The varieties we offer have been selected from 

 our importations of the last few years as the most distinct.

 lilac, rose, white, etc.

The Moonflower purchased from you last May has astonished every one by its rapid growth. Planted against a summer house, it com- 

 pletely covered it by mid-summer, and the effect of its wonderful white flowers on the dark green background of foliage was trulv beautiful.
