STEPHANOTHUS FLORIBUNDA. 



Per plant. 

 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. 

 Florists should grow it extensively 30 cts. to 75

 white in great profusion, excellent for bouquets, &c 30

NEW TVBEROVS-ROOTEI) BEGONIAS.— Single 



Flowered. 



The following novel and beautiful varieties will be found admirably adapted for the sum- 

 mer and autumn decoration of the greenhouse and conservatory ; for they produce in the 

 utmost profusion magnificent flowers of very large size, and great variety in color. They do 

 not require stove cultivation, but will succeed well in a greenhouse. The tubers rest during 

 the winter months, similar to Gloxinias, and can be easily re-started into growth in the 

 spring. Their profuse flowering quality, and the charming variety of color of their blossoms, 

 render them extremely showy and effective :

 ing from the root stock. The scapes, which rise erect above an elegant bluish
