A magnificent plant of good habit and a most profuse bloomer ; tbe flowers are rich violet blue, between five 

 and six inches in diameter and produced nearly all the year through. It requires the same treatment as Pleroma 

 Elegans. 3o cents. 



RUELLIA MACRANTHA. 



A Brazilian plant. Flowers freely of a fine violet-carmine, a pleasing color. This plant is of free growth in a 

 warm house, flowering profusely and showy. One of the very finest winter blooming plants of recent introduc- 

 tion. 25 cents. 



STEPHANOTHUS FLORIBUNDA. 



This plant is not new, but as a valuable stove climber it is unequalled. The flowers are pure white, of a waxy 

 texture, very persistent. Some large plants in one of my greenhouses were covered with bloom the whole of the 

 past spring and summer. 25 to 50 cents. 



TABERN^MONTANAS. 



Tabernaemontana, Camassa, a very desirable 

 shrub, with racemes of double white flowers of 

 Gardenia-like outline and fragrance, which 

 are produced on the point of every shoot. 

 The usual temperature of a hot-house with less 

 humidity, will produce blooms more freely and 

 longer in succession. The petals of the flowers 

 are lighter and more elegantly arranged than 

 the Gardenia, and not quite so lar^e ; small 

 plants in three-inch pots will produce flowers 



freely. (Growers of flowers for market should 

 cultivate a house of this plant alone). ..30 cts. to 

 Tabernaemontana, Camelliflora Pleno (Glory 

 of the Day), this plant is not new. but it is 

 not cultivated to the extent it deserves; it 

 succeeds well bedded out during summer, giv- 

 ing its lovely double fragrant flowers of the 

 purest white in great profusion ; excellent for 

 bouquets, &c
