NEW AND RARE PLANTS.

The above sketch illustrates the double white form of the Clema- 

 tis. Although bj' no means new, still we think it will prove a pleas- 

 ant surprise to many of our customers who may be only familiar 

 with the single form, which, elegant as it is, cannot compare with this 

 variety. The flowers are snowy white, of the form shown in the 

 engraving, and are delieiously fragrant. It is entirely hardy, of 

 strong growth, and the flowers being double remain perfect a 

 long time. Its chaste and elegant appearance will strongly recom- 

 mend it for planting in cemetery plots, or in any place where a 

 white, hardy climber is desired.

:SlErW FRENCH CANNAS. 



Each season confirms the high opinion formed of 

 these when first introduced. The spikes somewhat re- 

 semble Gladiolus, but their much more brilliant colors 

 show grandly against the tropical foliage : they bloom 

 continually during the summer months. "We had large 

 beds of them at our green-houses the past season, which were the 

 admiration of evei'y visitor. Earely exceeding 4 feet in height, and 

 blooming without intermission from June until frost, it is an 

 acknowledged fact, that their introduction marks anew era in sum- 



of growth, and free flowering qualities.
