our opinion, by far the most valuable of the two varieties. Price 



NEW DWARF ABUTILONS. 



A new race of these very useful plants 

 which originated with the celebrated M. 

 Lemoine, of France. They grow only 

 about two feet high and are literally 

 covered with flowers. 

 Calypso. Flowers very large and open 



like a bell ; color, pure white ; very 



profuse in blooming. 

 L'Afrieain. Very dwarf and covered 



from the ground to the top of the plant 



with flowers of the darkest crimson 



maroon; a splendid variety. 

 Sanglant. Deep red flowers of the 



largest size and perfect form ; entirely 



distinct. 



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



DOUBLE GOLDEN MARGUERITE. 



(AntAemit Goronaria, fl. pi. 



The engraving gives a fair idea of this 

 most beautiful plant. Nothing could be 

 more showy, either as a pot plant or bedded 

 out. This plant might well be called the 

 "Shower of gold," as it is a perfect mass 

 of rich golden yellow flowers the whole 

 year round, being equally useful in winter 

 as in summer. Well- grown plants have as 

 many as 150 flowers on them at once. 

 $1.00 per doz. , $6.00 per 100. 



AMPELOPSIS VEITCHII. 



(Sometimes called " Boston 



Ivy" and "'Japan Ivy.") 



No picture can portray the beauty of this 

 grand climbing plant. As an important aid 

 to architectural beauty it is rapidly attain- 

 ing prominence, being now a feature on the 

 finest houses — notably the palatial residence 

 corner of 57th Street and 5th Avenue, New 

 York City. Another fine example of it is 

 seen on Grace Church, in New York, while 

 on Commonwealth Avenue, in Boston, 

 there are hundreds of the finest houses 

 covered with it from foundation to roof. 

 It is adapted to all situations, and trans- 

 forms the humblest cottage. It is entirely 

 hardy in the most exposed places, attaining 

 a height of 20 to 30 feet in two or three 

 years, clinging to stones, brick or wood 

 work with the greatest tenacity. It is a 

 great protection to houses, as the leaves 

 lapping over each other like slates on a roof 

 effectually prevent rain from penetrating 

 the walls. For covering dead trees, gate 

 posts boundary walls, verandas, etc., it has 

 no equal, while its rapid growth and ten- 

 acious clinging qualities make it a most 

 desirable plant for staying up terraces. In 

 the summer the foliage is a rich shade of 

 green, but in fall it assumes the most gor- 

 geous tints of scarlet, crimson and orange, 

 so dazzling as to be seen at a great distance. 



PRICE, plants from 3 in. pots, 2 to 3 feet 

 long, $7.00 per 100; $60.00 per 1000. Extra 

 strong plants from 4 in. pots, $15.00 per 

 100. 



AMPELOPSIS ROYLEI. 



This is identical with A. Veitchii as re- 

 gards its climbing properties, but it is a 

 larger and stronger growing plant. The 

 foliage even in summer is richly tinted 

 crimson, and in autumn it is perfectly gor- 

 geous in its flame-colored foliage. It is, in 

 the same as the older sort, which see above.
