JEW DOUBIiE JJOSE, ItYCflfllS. 



Invaluable as a Garden or Pot Plant. 



Jasminum Grandiflorum (Star Jessamine). Pure -white, single flewers. 

 Price, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz. 



J. Revolutum. Bright yellow. Price, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz. 



Manettia Cordifolia. A variety of rapid growth, with deep glossy green 

 foliage and a wonderful profusion of crimson-scarlet tubular flowers, one 

 and a half inches long. These are borne on longer stems than the ordi- 

 nary Manettia ; all the flowers grow outward, so that the whole surface is 

 a mass of glowing crimson-scarlet of a most pleasing shade, and of sharp 

 contrast to the foliage. Owing to the length of the stems and graceful 

 form of the flowers, the slightest breeze gives them a graceful wavy motion 

 which adds wonderfully to their attractiveness. 15c. each, $1.50 per doz. 



Manettia Bicolor. A very pretty, rapid-growing twining plant, producing 

 tubular flowers over an inch in length, the plant being literally covered 

 with them the entire season. The coloring of these flowers is gorgeous in 

 the extreme, being a flame color tipped with bright yellow. Given strings 

 or wires to cling to, it will attain to a height of from 6 to 10 feet in 

 one season. Price, 15c. each, $1.50 per dozen. 



The pardy Blue Chinese Shrubby Verbena. 



(Caryopteris Mastacanthvs.) This very valuable autumn-blooming, shrubby 

 plant is a native of China, and although known to botanists for many years 

 has remained obscure, not for want of merit, as it has all the elements of 

 popularity. It is easy to grow, is hardy as far north as Boston, and blooms 

 abundantly. Its color is beautiful, an exquisite shade of azure blue, and 

 flowers luxuriantly in a pot or in the open ground ; its blooming period is 

 in the fall, from September until heavy frosts, when flowers are scarce and 

 hardly anything is to be had in its color. It grows about two feet high, 

 and bears fragrant feathered clusters of flowers along the stem, as shown in 

 the cut, so that it is pre-eminently adapted for cut flowers, the blooms 

 remaining fresh days after they are cut. It belongs to the same natural 

 order as the Verbena, and the foliage has a pleasant, spicy odor when 

 bruised. It also promises to be of great value as a bee plant, as they seek 

 it out, and it is in bloom when nearly all flowers are gone. (See cut.) 

 Price, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz. 



{Lychnis flos cuculi plenissima semperflorens.) This is a new 

 variety of Lychnis, having so many excellent qualities that 

 we are certain it must become immensely popular. It is a 

 variety which, for richness of bloom and the beauty of its deli- 

 cate rose-colored flowers, is undoubtedly an extraordinary nov- 

 elty. It is also an excellent winter bloomer, bearing flowers in 

 profusion during the whole winter without any special care. 

 Plants with half-developed buds put into the house in late fall 

 can be brought into bloom in four weeks, in a moderate temper- 

 ature. It is perfectly hardy, grows very easily and rapidly, 

 and comes in bloom when quite small, forming bushes 12 to 18 

 Inches high. It is constantly sending out new shoots, every 

 one of which produces a number of buds, covering it with 

 innumerable flowers from spring to fall. The flowers are borne 

 in loose, long-stemmed clusters, which are very useful for 

 bouquets and vases of flowers. Price, 35c. each, $3.50 per doz. 



Jiexjl Variegated English Ivy. 



The foliage is very prettily marked with pure white on a dark 



green ground. Its great value is as a pot plant in the window 



or for trailing from the edges of boxes or baskets. Price, 25e. 



each, $2.25 per doz. 



Ivy (German). Well known as "Parlor Ivy" and highly es- 

 teemed for its free, vigorous growth. Price, 10c. each, $1.00 

 per doz. 



Genista Racemosa. This plant, although not new, has become 

 very fashionable in New York. Few plants are more deserv- 

 ing of popular esteem. The flowers are pure golden yellow, 

 and literally cover the plant when full grown. Price, large 

 plants, 15 to 20 inches high and branched, 75c. each. Plants 

 from 4 in. pots, 30e. each, 83.00 per doz. ; from 2 in. pots, 10c. 

 each, $1.00 per doz. 



Glechoma Hederacea Var. (Hardy). Prettily marked with pure white on a bright green 

 ground. It is hardy and of vigorous growth; the leaves have a refreshing fragrance 

 similar to mint. It is one of our most useful plants for drooping from hanging baskets, 

 vases, fancy pots, etc., etc. It is largely used in cemeteries to cover graves, as it is 

 entirely hardy. Price, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz. 



Lily of the Valley. This is most charming when grown in large patches in partially 

 shaded localities around the lawn, near the borders of streams, lakes, etc., being per- 

 fectly hardy. Flowering roots, 5c. each, 50c. per doz. ; large clumps, 50c. each, $4.50 per doz. 



Lantanas. We have few continuous-blooming plants that afford a greater variety of 

 colors than the Lantana. Twelve distinct varieties. Colors, orange, crimson, yellow, 

 lilac, rose, white, etc. 10c. each, $1.00 per doz. ; set of 12 for $1.00. 



Lemon Verbena. A universal favorite, and invaluable for its fragrant leaves so 

 grateful when mixed with bouquets. They will retain their fragrance for years when 

 dried. Strong plants, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz.
