The Best 

 White 

 Flowering 

 Plant for 

 House Culture 

 In Cultivation. 



FLO\TEBS OF SWAINSONIA GALEGIFOLIA ALBA. (MUCH UEDUCED.i 



SWAiNSONIA GALEGIFOLIA ALBA. 



A plant which is becoming very popular for house culture. Foli- 

 age as graceful as an Acacia; flowers pure white, produced in 

 sprays of 12 to 20 flowers each, and resembling Sweet Peas. It is 

 of the easiest culture and ever-blooming. It climbs readily and 

 is splendid for the window garden, or it may be grown as a bush 

 plant by trimming it back as it grows. It bears neglect better 

 than almost any plant we know, but responds readily to 

 good care. 20c. each, $2.00 per doz. 



MAMMOTH VERBENAS. 



No garden is complete unless it contains a bed of Ver- 

 benas, or a border planted with them. They flower inces- 

 santly throughout the season. 



B. of Oxford. Deep pink. 



Climax. Glowing scarlet. 



Coral. Brilliant pink. 



Crystal. Pure white. 



Garnet. Deep lustrous 

 crimson. 



Glow-worm. Rich crim- 

 son scarlet. 



Invincible. Rich purple. 



Iona. Deep pink. 



Mattie. Soft shell pink. 



VINCA MAJOR VARIEGATA. 



One of the most useful drooping plants for baskets and vases. 

 Very distinctly marked with creamy white on a green ground. 

 10c. each, $1.00 per doz. Large plants, 30c. each, $3.00 per doz. 

 Vinca Minor Alba. (Creeping Myrtle.) Very hardy, will grow in 



shade, and splendid for cemeteries. 

 Vinca Minor Cerulea. Similar to the above, but the flowers are 



blue. Large clumps, 30c. each. Small plants, 15c. each, $1.50 doz. 



VIOLET, SWANLEY WHITE. 



This fine Violet is undoubtedly the b<*st white variety known ; it 

 is equally desirable for house or garden culture. Vigorous and 

 healthy, bearing in great profusion large, pure snowy white, per- 

 fectly double flowers, exquisitely fragrant. Large plants, 30c. 

 each, $3.00 per doz. Young plants, 10c. each, $1.00 per doz. 



VIOLET, MARIE LOUISE. 



The well-known double light purple variety. We offer strong, 

 healthy plants, so that any amateur will have no difficulty in grow- 

 ing them. Thousands of this peerless variety are grown for the 

 flowers alone to supply the cut-flower markets of the country dur- 

 ing the winter season. Price, large plants, 30c. each, $3.00 per 

 doz. Young plants, 10c. each, $1.00 per doz., $6.00 per 100. 



NEW VIOLET, LADY HUME CAMPBELL. 



A new forcing variety, under good conditions the equal of Marie 

 Louise in color and size of bloom. Its excelling merit is its strong, 

 healthy constitution. Growers who were forced to abandon Marie 

 Louise have found this variety to do well, apparently entirely free 

 from the disease which destroyed the other. Large plants, 30c. 

 each, $3.00 per doz. Young plants, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz. 



The Hardy Double English Violet. 



This Violet is entirely hardy, perfectly double, a deep violet 

 purple color and most deliciously fragrant. It surpasses the 

 well-known "Marie Louise" Violet in richness of color, being 

 many shades darker, and far excels it in its delightful odor ; this 

 is one of its greatest merits. It is entirely free from disease of 

 any kind, will grow and bloom in any garden and in any situation. 

 Nothing is more appropriate for cemetery plots than the Hardy 

 Double English Violet. (See cut.) Price, 1st size, large flowering 

 clumps,. 30c. each, $3.00 per doz. Young plants, 15c. each, $1.50 

 per doz. Set of 4 Violets, large plants, $1.00. Young plants, 40c. 



Miss Arthur. Intense 



scarlet. 

 Mrs. Cleveland. Pure 



white, fragrant. 

 Mrs. Wilson. White and 



crimson. 

 Negro. Dark maroon. 

 Onyx. Rich crimson. 

 Purple King. Deep purple. 



Price, 10c. each; set of 

 15 for $1.00. 



PHRYNIUM VAR/EGATUM. 



A plant which we believe is destined to take a promi- 

 nent place among decorative plants for the house, and in 

 subtropical bedding in the open ground in summer. Its 

 growth is not unlike a Canna, strong and free, and the 

 foliage is beautifully marked creamy white on a dark 

 green ground ; the white and green blend in some por- 

 tions of the leaf, and the result is shades of sea green, 

 moss green, etc., although the prevailing colors are 

 white and dark green. It is of the easiest culture, will 

 grow and make fine plants in the house, and lasts well 

 under ordinary conditions. 



Price, large plants, 75c. each; smaller plants, 40c. each.
