JOHN SAUL'S DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE 



*NEW PASSIFLORAS. 



Each. 

 Tassiflora, Constance Eliott, this charming 

 novelty is a seedling from Passiflora coerulea, 

 and has been awarded a first-class certificate 

 by the Royal Horticultural Society. It is 

 hardy, a free grower, and produces in the 

 greatest profusion sweet-scented, pure ivory- 

 white flowers, almost without a trace of the 

 bluish tinge peculiar to the type. The inner 

 surface of the sepals and the petals is white; 

 the coronal threads being ivory-white, tinged 



with yellow towards the tips 25 



*Prof. Eichler, a hybrid between Londonii and 

 Princeps, bright scarlet 75 



Each. 

 *Passiflora, Hahnii, this is a very distinct and 

 beautiful variety of Passion-flower. It is a 

 native of Mexico and is a free growing, tem- 

 perate stove-climber. The flowers are about 

 three inches across, of a creamy white, with 

 a yellowish corona, and are produced in great 



profusion 1 00 



*Tacsonia Jamesonii, flowers of a rich rose, a 



distinct and very beautiful Passion-flower 75

*SPIR;EA ASTILBOIDES. 



One of the most handsome of hardy herbaceous perennials, which has been certificated both by the Royal 

 Horticultural and Royal Botanic Societies on account of its great merit. The stems grow from two to three feet 

 high, and are terminated by compound feathery branches of elegant white flowers. It is a charming plant on 

 account of its free growth and beautiful flowers, which are produced in the greatest profusion. $1.00. 



*IBERIS SEMPERVIRENS PLENO. 



There can be nothing prettier than the double white Candytuft for edging, beds, borders, rockworks, &c, and 

 it is of particular value to the Florist. The flowers form a close bouquet of the purest white, and cover the dwarf, 

 compact and beautifully rounded bush. The plant is well adapted for pot-culture, but its beauty will be more 

 perfectly developed if planted out in the garden. The flowers appear in great profusion from April until June. 

 $1.00. 



*NEW ANTHURIUMS. 



♦Anthurium, Ferrierense, a splendid hybrid 

 obtained from A. Ornatuui and A. Andre- 

 anum. The slender, erect foot-stalks of the 

 leaves support a fine, bright-green, heart- 

 shaped expansion, fully twelve inches long 

 and six inches broad. The scape is stout and 

 erect, attaining a length of twenty-four to 

 thirty inches. The spathe, which is remark- 

 ably showy and attractive, is of cordate form 

 five to six inches across, of a bright, rosy car- 

 mine, without any of the reticulated corruga- 

 tions characteristic of A. Andreanum. The 

 . spadix is about five inches long, ivory-white to 



two-thirds of its length, with the upper third 



fawn color 2 50 



*Anthurium, Andreanum, the flower-spathes, 

 which are borne well above the foliage, are 

 heart-shaped and of a most brilliant scarlet 

 color, the surface irregularly corrugated and 

 traversed by deep sinuous veins, the spadixes 

 ivory-white at the base and greenish-yellow at 

 the tip. It is an extremely attractive plant, 

 and the individual flowers remain in perfec- 

 tion about three months, thus rendering it 

 highly valuable for exhibition 2 50

 ner, the plant being extremely floriferous 50 



NEW TUBEROUS ROOTED GRAPE VINE. 



A recent introduction, consequently not fruited or tested; as it comes from a warm climate— Cochin China— 

 we may infer it will require heat to succeed. Two varieties— round and oblong. 40 cents each. 



NEW DIEFFENBACHIAS. 



♦Dieffenbachia, Jenmanii, the ground color of 

 the leaves, a rich bright glossy green, is re- 

 lieved by a milk-white band at every lateral 

 nerve and by a few white spots interspersed 

 between the bands. The striking variegation 

 renders it one of the handsomest of Stove 

 variegated plants. " One of the most striking 



new foliage plants that has come under our 



notice." — Ganiener\<; Chronicle 



*Dieffenbachia, Magnifica, a truly magnificent 

 plant, vigorous, distinct, and fine habit ; with 

 large green leaves spotted and marked with

WEW YUCCAS. 



•Yucca, Filamentosa Aureo-Variegata, this is 

 one of the most ornamental of Yuccas with 

 colored foliage yet introduced. It is distin- 

 guished from the normal form by the middle 

 portion of the leaves being marked with bright 

 yellow longitudinal bands. It will prove a 



valuable addition to the list of foliage plants 

 for the decoration of the conservatory and 



greenhouse 2 50 



*Yucca, Pendula Variegata, a very handsome 



variegated Yucca of free growth, quite hardy, 2 00
