BRUGMANSIA.—An old OQ oO ] 4 r 4 
plant, offered under many I3 R UW GMA N S I A 
lames, but one which cannot ; 
be suftiiciently praised. The 
striking beauty of specimens 
bearing from 20 to 50 flowers 
often a foot long, of a creamy 
white color, and highly sweet- 
scented, is something seldom to 
be forgotten. It makes a mag- 
nificent lawn plant, which can 
be wintered ina cellar or be 
kept growing during winter, 
when flowers. will be had dur- 
ing holidays. It can be relied 
upon to thrive and bloom freely, 
and when it once has flowered, 
no one will ever part with it. 
In fact, it isone of the plants 
that you cannot do without, if 
you have a garden or green- 
house. By mail, 25 cents each ; 
extra large, by express, $1 to $2. 
A double flowered yari- 
ety of above, still more desir- 
able, equally as large, 40 cts. ea.

HEDYCHIUM COROGNARIUM.— The 
Ginger or Butterfly Lily.—A new and very 
desirable plant, either for open ground or pot 
culture ; it is constantly in bloom. Here in the 
open ground it is in flower from July to October. 
It prefers a moist, partially shaded situation, 
where it will form large dense clumps three to 
four feet high. Flowers are borne in large clus- 
ters, terminal on every stalk, and resemble very 
much a large white butterfly ; pure white and very 
fragrant. 30 cents each; 4 for $1.00. 
HAMELIA PATENS.—A West Indian 
plant, and why it has not become better known 
isa mystery. Itis deserving of a prominent place 
in the open ground, and in the greenhouses north 
during winter. Flowers in cymes, of a bright 
orange color, and freely produced nearly all 
summer. The foliage of this plant is very hand- 
some, being of oliye-green above, very lustrous ; 
the under-side of the leaves are deep wine-color: 
as a foliage plant alone it deserves cultivation. It 
j is offered for the first time. 30c. each: 4 for $1. 
ALOCASTIA.— Gigantea.—Splendid aroid 
plants, with large dark .green foliage, veined, 
and variegated with lighter shades; of easy cul- 
ture, preferring moist ground and partial shade. 
Will grow to a large size if favorably situated. 
25 cents to $1.00 each.

PERUVIAN LILIES.— 
Alstroemeria. If you wish to make a 
magnificent show of flowers, try a few of 
these South American Lilies so rare in 
our gardens. Plant them a foot deep in 
a sunny situation, protect in winter with S& 
dry leaves, and your labors will be reward- 
ed with a splendid display of Orchid-like 
flowers in various colors, from May until 
November, I have several distinct varie- 
ties, viz., bright orange, rosy-white, 
orange and red, red and green. My choice 
of varieties, 25 cts.; 3 distinct sorts 50 cts. 
BIGNONIA GRANDIFLORA,.— 
Proecox. Large Early Trumpet 
Flower. The value of the ordinary Trum- | 
pet Creeper is well known, but this variety 
Q eclipses it in every way. To begin with, 
its flowers are nearly double the size ; their 
color is of the most intense orange scarlet, 
and they are produced on plants only one } 
year old, something that cannot be expect- 
ed from the older sorts. Planted at the 
foot of a tree this vine will soon cover its 
branches completely, and fairly smother 
it with its large bell-shaped flowers and 
delicate, graceful foliage. The subject 
he Bleue? perewithy and abe was en- QyY : me 
grayed from a photograph, only gives a © - 5 é a 
slight idea of the effect produced. The BIGNONIA GRANDI 
plant can of course be used for many other purposes, such as covering walls, arbors, trellises, 
and porches. Grown asa pot-plant, a fine, sturdy bush can be made of it by cutting down, 
thus enabling the plant to spread itself. Ata late Horticultural Show sucha plant was ex- 
hibited, and excited a great deal of comment. Price, 30 cents each; 4 for $1.00. : 
LEWISIA REDIVIVA.—A most remarkable and beautiful rock-plant, of dwarf 
crams which, for the size of the plant, bear very large flowers of a pleasing pink, and of 
ecidedly handsome appearance. The roots are succulent, and possess the power of retain- 
life under the most unfavorable conditions. It should be grown in sunshine, and be kept high 
and dry. It is also good for growing in pots. Very interesting. 20 cents each: 3 for 50 cents. 
eee LIATRIS SPICATA.— Kansas 
Gay Feather.—These plants, which 
are so highly appreciated in Europe, 
and of which so much has been said of 
late, should be found in every garden. 
= L.Spicata is one ofthe handsomest and 
= heatest in growth, bearing a spike 2 feet ¥ 
high, of violet-purple flowers, re- 
taining their wonderful beauty for a 
- long time and will produce quite a mass 
ofbloom. Price, 15 cents; 3 for50 cents. 
LIATRIS PYCNOSTACHIA.— 
Is by far the handsomest, bearing very 
dense spikes of purple flowers, so close 
and compact as to resemble a round 
bush ; as shown on the left of our illus- 
tration. Price, 20 cents; 3 for 50 cents. 
One plant of each of the 
aboue 2 handsome liatris 
sent free by mail on receipt 
of 30 cents. % &

SEEDS. Address all Orders to WM. 
John M. Daniels, Columbia, S. C.: “* Iwant to say 
briefly that my last order for seeds, etc., is received, 
and am much pleased with same; but want to add 
that the collection of berries, etc., is growing finely, 
and not one failed to root and grow. The Gregg 
berry has a flower-bud upon it—a sprout but four 
inches. long. No one need go anywhere else for 
anything in the seed or plant line but to your house, 
and shall always recommend Maule’s seeds and 
plants to everybody. I sincerely thank you for 
your unwavering promptness and courtesy, as well 
as generous liberality in dealing.
