DRTDRa eORNOeOPia. "Horn of Plenty." 



The singular form, gigantic size, striliiug colors and pleasant odor of the flower, 

 make this novelty most conspicuous. The plant is of a very robust habit. The stem 

 is thick, dark brown purple, shining as if varnished. The branches are very numer- 

 ous, spreading symmetrically three or four feet in every direction. The leaves are 

 large, of a dark green color. The flowers are trumpet shaped, measuring eight to ten 

 inches in length, and five to seven inches across the mouth, and form three distinct 

 flowers, growing each within the other; the throat and mouth of corolla, a most deli- 

 cate French white, beautifully contrasted and marbled with royal purple on the out- 

 pC side. This novelty is of the easiest culture, requiring only to be planted in the house in 

 S" February or March, and planted out in May, in a warm, rich soil.

IPOMCEa GRaNDIFLORa. (Giant White Moon^Flower.)

 mon Moon-flower, the flowers being much larger — 5 to 6 inches acro.ss — of more sub- 

 stance and pure white. The huds open late in the afternoon, remaining open until 

 close until noun the next day, and if cloudy will remain open all day long. The 



vines make a rapid growth, branch- 

 ing and climbing 25 feet or more; a single plant often having 

 from 20 to JO of its magnittcent flowers open at a time. Flowers 

 vary in form on dirtereut plants, some being scalloped, others 

 round, others star shaped; foliage varies to oak leaved and star 

 shaped form, adding charm and interest to this great climber.

 IP0M(Ea SETOSa. Mew Brazilian Morning Glory. 

 An annual, climbing 30 to 50 feet. The vines branch and 

 climb in all directions, one vine soon covering a tree, arbor or 

 building. Its leaves are like those of the grape in form and of 

 immense size, often a foot across in rich soil. The flowers, 

 which open in the morning, are three inches or more across, of 

 a beautiful rose color, and are borne in large clusters verj- 

 freely from July to fiost. Every part of the vine is thickly cov- 

 ered with short, reddish hairs which, with its immense leaves 

 and large clusters of curious seed capsules, render it highly or- 

 namental. Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 



IPOMCEa. Northern Light 



This new plant has blooms some two inches in diameter; of 

 pink lavender color, which come earlier in the season than any 

 of the Ipomoeas which open in the evening. The foliage is large 

 and handsome and remarkable in its drought resisting quali- 

 ties. The stems of the vines are covered with thousands of 

 hooked, greenish white, projecting points, as thickly placed as - 

 the red hairy spines on Ipomoea 8etosa. Pkt., 10c.; 3 pkts., 25c. ' 



For 23 cents, I will mail one packet of eacli 

 of the above 3 Grand IVew Ipomoeas. 



NEW DWaRF GOLDEN 



YELLOW FLOWERING PEa. 



(Crotolaria Retusa.) 



"The flowers of this exquisitely beau- 

 tiful annual are of rich golden yellow 

 color, of the true Sweet Pea form and as 

 large as the Eckford's varieties. The 

 flowers are of firm substance and grow 

 in racemes, fox-glove style, and often 

 produce over 40 blossoms on one spike. 

 It blooms profusely throughout the 

 summer and until killed by frost. It is 

 a low growing, branching plant, every 

 branch and branchlet ending in ra- 

 cemes six to ten inches long, of these 

 beautiful golden Sweet Pea like flowers. 

 The oval leaves are smooth, of the dark- 

 est green, and the flowers are followed 

 by clusters of short smooth pods, in 

 which, when shaken the seeds sound 

 like a child's rattle. It is best to start 

 the seeds in the window or hot-bed, 

 first soaking them in Inke-warm water 

 for about twelve hours." Packet, 10 cts.; 

 3 packets, 25 cts.; ounce, 50 cts.
