 said to be "Sweeter than Orange Blossoms," and one plant will fill a whole house with its delicate perfume.

Clerodendron Fragrans. 



THE FRAGRANT CLERODENDRON. 



This is quite a new plant, recently introduced 

 from China; it is a strong, healthy grower of good 

 habit; has large, thick leaves, and bears fine dense 

 heads of perfectly double creamy-white flowers, 

 as shown in the engraving. The flowers are so 

 double, and the flower heads set so close to the 

 large, handsome leaves, that each truss is a com- 

 plete bouquet in itself The flowers are remark- 

 ably sweet scented, having a peculiarly rich fra- 

 grance of their own. It is easily grown, and 

 already very popular. Price, good, young plants, 

 15 cts. each; larger size, 20 cts. postpaid. 



Clerodendron Balfouri. 



A BEAUTIFUL WINTER BLOOMING VINE. 



This is as different as can be from the Clero- 

 dendron Fragrans described above, being a slen- 

 der winter blooming, climbing vine, highly 

 valued for window and house culture ; will grow 

 two to three feet high, and can be trained in any 

 form desired. It is a tremendous bloomer, bear- 

 ing hundreds of pretty, little pear-shaped flowers 

 for months at a time. The flowers are rich, 

 bright crimson inside, and creamy-white out- 

 side, which makes a very striking and attractive 

 combination. Always greatly admired. Good 

 plants, 15 cts. each; larger size, 25 cts. postpaid.
