 upper surface, the underpart pale green, ornamented with bands of maroon. 

 The young leaves are of a bright chamois color, and the maroon bands of the 

 under parts penetrate through to the upper, so that the coloring of the plants 

 has a glistening and indescribable effect. 75 cents each. 



*POSOQUERIA LONGIFOLIA. 



This plant forms an elegant bush, and is very free flowering. Leaves large, 

 somewhat ovate, coriaceous and shining green ; flowers tubular, pure white, 

 produced in large corymbs of a dozen and more, waxy like, from 8 to 4 inches 

 long, and deliciously fragrant. It is a beautiful plant. $1 each. 



PAULINIA THALICTKIFOLIA. 



A very beautiful plant. It is of a slender growth, producing very freely its 

 beautifully cut leaves, which resemble the fronds of a highly divided Maiden- 

 hair Fern. The matured leaves are of a striking bright green, the young shoots 

 and foliage being of a beautiful rosy tint. 30 to 50 cents each. 



ERIOCNEMA MAEMOEEUM. 



Plant dwarf, with habit of some of the Begonias, leaves green, striped with 

 broad bands of white ; a beautiful plant. 50 cents each. 



CAMPSIDIUM FILICIFOLIUM. 



A free growing slender wood}' climber, from the Fiji Islands. The leaves, 

 from their size and form, are strongly suggestive of fronds of some small grow- 

 ing pinnate Asplenium. The growth and general character of the plant is so 

 elegant that whether cultivated as a small pot plant, trained on globular or other 

 trellises, or planted as a climber, it has a most charming appearance. 25 cts. each. 



MACKAYA BELLA. 



This most beautiful plant is a native of Natal. The flowers have a pale lilac 

 corolla, nearly two inches long, the throat ornamented with most delicately pen- 

 cilled reticulated purple veins, tubular below, campanulate. The plant is very 

 floriferous and when in full bloom, appears a mass of most delicate, pendant, 

 campanulate flowers. 40 cts. each. 



NEW CLIMBING liY'DB,Al^GEA.—{SchizophragmaHtjdrangeoides.) 



This is described as clinging to trees to the height of 50 feet, producing 

 corymbs of white flowers of the size of ordinary Hydrangeas. It clings exactly 

 like Ivy, and one can imagine the effect of a wall or tree so covered, while in 

 full bloom. 50 cts. each. 



NEW WHITE HYDEANGEA, "THOMAS HOGG." 



This, the finest of all Hydrangeas, was sent to the United States by Mr, 

 Thomas Hogg, from Japan. The"American Agriculturist" says : "We think 

 it safe to sa}', that no ornamental plant ever introduced exceeds this in value. •"■ 



It belongs to the Hortensia section of the family, but it is a far more free and 

 abundant bloomer than any other; the flowers are of the purest white, of very 

 firm texture, and continues in flower for a great length of time. 25 cents each.
