ng Lantana “Mrs. McKinley” 
Our illustration gives some idea of the charming Weeping Lan 
tana when planted in baskets, vases or pots, for which it is par 
ticularly recommended; but it is, if possible, more beautiful stil] 
when bedded out, as the plant is a neat, handsome grower, pro 
ducing a great abundance of leafy vines, which cover the ground — 
with their pretty foliage, and bear such an immense profusion of | 
lovely lilac-pink flowers, that the whole bed secms a sheet of | 
bloom from early Summer till late Fall. Scarecely anything on our 
grounds attracts more attention than a bed of this charming Lan: 
tana. The flowers are borne in clusters, and hundreds of them 
are in bloom all the time. We make prices very low so as to meet 
the large popular demand for bedding, window boxes, vases, ete, | 
Price 15c. each; 2 for 25e.; 5 for 50c.; 12 for $1.00 postpaid. |
