 cate perfume. Good pot plants, 25 cts. each, postpaid.

THE FRAGRANT CLERODENDRON. 



This is quite a new plant, recently intro- 

 duced 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 flowers heads set so close to the large, 

 handsome leaves, that each is a complete 

 bouquet in itself. The flowers are remark- 

 ably sweet-scented, having a peculiarly rich 

 fragrance of their own. It is easily grown,
