RUELLIA LONGIFLORUM. 



" The Christmas Coral Plant." A splen- 

 did red flowering plant, especially for con- 

 servatory decoration. It is a most useful 

 plant during the dull winter months, small- 

 sized plants being covered with bright red 

 flowers. The ease with which flowering 

 plants may be had by the end of the year is 

 remarkable. Cuttings that are propagated 

 during the spring root in a short time, after 

 which they are put in 3-inch pots. Three of 

 the plants, when established, may be put in 

 a 6-inch pot, and by keeping them in a grow- 

 ing temperature they may be had in full 

 flower two months after the cuttings are 

 taken. It is not only useful as a winter- 

 blooming plant, it comes in well for planting 

 out in spring, blooming satisfactorily during 

 the summer. (See cut.)

Rudbeckia, "Golden Glow. 



A glorious new, hardy, herbaceous plant, : 

 and one that should find a place in every 



garden. It is of fine habit, vigorous growth, with early, continuous 

 and immense blooming qualities ; it will be found excellent also for 

 cut-flower purposes. The stems are long and gracefully poised ; the 

 foliage is abundant and ornamental. It attains a height of from 6 to 

 8 feet, and a small plant set out in the spring will produce hundreds 

 of blossoms during August and September, each one as large as a 

 fair-sized Chrysanthemum. (See cut.) Price, 15c. each, 4 for 50c., 9

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, 35c. each, 

 3 for $1.00, $3.50 per doz. Young plants, 20c. each, 3 for 50c., 7 for
