] “FOAM FLOWER” 
(Tiarella Cordifolia.)—* It 
is a strange fact that while 
many plants of doubtful value 
are widely distributed in 
gardens, some real treasures 
for no apparent reason, are 
overlooked. Such has been the 
fate of the lovely Foam Flower, 
which, though perfectly hardy 
and of rapid increase, flourish- 
mi|ing anywhere, is only now 
i) becoming known. Itisa plant 
of great beauty of leaf and 
Hi flowers. The starry blossoms 
are creamy white, and the buds 
H\ tinged with pink. A mass of 
them seen a few yards off, 
appearing like a_ wreath ot 
foam. The young leaves are of 
a tender green, daintily spotted 
and veined deep red, while the 
older ones are of a rich red- 
bronze.”’ I copy the above 
from The Garden. What wore 
need I say in praise of this 
beautiful plant? Price 25 cents 
each ; 3 for 50 cents; 7 for $1.00. 
THE DOUBLE PINK 
MORNING GLORY.W— 
(Calystegia Pubescens Fl. 
ppb Plena.)—When first seen, the 
= flowers of this handsome twin- 
FOAM FLOWER. ing plant are certain to be taken 
for a delicate pink rose, so much do they resemble a rose in appearance. In reality it isa 
double pink Morning Glory, an@ so perfectly hardy that where once established, it will 
soon cover arbors, trellises and balconies. Useful as a cut-flower, and another of those 
good plants that have been too much neglected. Try it and you will be delighted. Price, 
20 cents each ; 3 for 50 cents ; 7 for $1.00. 
JAPANESE AZALEA. - Azalea Mollis.—This is a new species of low growth, with 
very showy flowers, measuring two to three inches across, embracing all shades of white 
vellow, orange and red, and commencing to bloom even before the leaves appear. Ol 
specimens are so densely covered with flowers, that they almost seem artificial. Their 
perfect hardiness make them the most desirable of all the species. Excellent also for 
forcing in bloom in the house. I can furnish 3-year-old plants at the very low price of 30 
cents each ; 2 for 50 cents; 5 for $1.00. Older ones, 50 cents, 75 cents and $1.00 each. Not 
a single one of my customers should omit this from their order. 
HIBISCUS MUTABILIS Fl. Pl.—Mexican Rose or Cotton Rose.—One 
of the most curious of the genus. The large double flowers are 
pure white in the morning, changing to pink at noon, and 
by night are a uniform light-red; and as the flowers last for 
nearly half the next day, the contrast between them and the newly 
opened white ones is very striking. After the plant is done bloom- 
ing in November, it should be cut back nearly to the ground; thi 
keeps the plant in a compact form, and the flowers are larger anc 
better. It is one of the most interesting plants that I offer. 
cents each; 3 for 50 cents; 7 for $1.00. 
CISSUS INCISA.—A beautiful tropical species, a native of 2 
the extreme south-western coast of Florida. Leaves compound 
(three leaflets), evergreen; arapid grower, sending down Jong air 
roots; a curious and interesting vine. 20 cents each; 3 for 50 cents.
