CATALPA. Japanese Hybrid—As an orna- 
mental or useful tree Japanese Hybrid Catalpa is of 
great value. being one of the most rapid growers of 
all hardy trees, and one of the most beautiful. From 
the smallest sprouts it will grow in four or five years 
toalargesize. The foliage is dense. large, and luxur- 
iant, deep, glowipggreen. It isa most profuse bloom- 
er, being literally loaded with flowers, and remaining 
in bloom several weeks. The flowersare white, with 
small purple dots, and a touch of yellow around the 
throat. They have a very pleasant and delicate 
fragrance, and a tree in bloom not only presents a 
mugnificent spectacle to the eye, but also fills the air 
for quitea distance with its agreeable odor. Small 
trees planted in village lots grow, without cultivation, 
in five years, to be 25 ft. high and 24 in. in circumfer- 
ence at one foot from the ground. I believe the 
Japanese Hybrid is destined, when known, to takea 
prominent place in the very front rank of trees for 
timber as wellas ornamental plantations. In rapidity 
of growth it rivals the most luxuriant trees of temper- 
ate climate; while its hardiness has been demonstra- 
ted by its standing uninjured 25° or more below zero. 
Price of vigorous, well-rooted trees, by mail post-paid, 
15 cts. each-; 4 for 50 cts.; 10 for $1:; 25 for $2.; 100 for $6. 
Silver-Striped Peperomia. 
So thick andwaxy-likeare the leaves of this parlor 
gem that almost every one takes it for an artificial 
lant. The color along tbe veins is bright green, the 
intervening space being a metallic white. The whole 
leaf has the appearance of being powdered with sil- 
ver. Asan ornament for a dinner table or for parlor 
windows it is excellent as it requires but little light 
and stands much ill-usage. It improves from year 
to year. Thesmall spikes of white flowers are also 
interesting. Price, 35 cents each, 4 for $1.00. 
PRIDE OF ASIA, (Melia Fioribunda.)— 
Few plants are as handsome as this in general habit 
of growth. It forms the neatest little tree-like plant 
imaginable, growing in a solid mass, almost like a 
ball, of dark green delicately cut foliage, remaining 
on the plant all Winter. Its flowers which are 
& produced on long spikes, are of a beautiful purple 
and so fragrant that they pervade the air for quite a 
2 distance. As a pot plant, it is a little beauty. 25 
cents each, 3 for 60 cents. 
PASSION FLOWERS, (Passiflora. )—Every- 
one should grow these magnificent flowering climb- 
ing plants, the flowers of which are so beautiful. 
The petals, which are blue without, are lined with 
purple and white within, and spread themselves out 
in a flattened manner, with a row of filaments 
arranged around an inner circle. The flower was 
named “flor passion”’ by the early missionaries, who 
in their religious zeal imagined they saw emblems of 
the crucifixion, the crown of thorns. nails, hammer, 
etc., in the various parts of the curious blossoms.

DAY BLOOMING JESSAMINE.—This 
variety is very similar to the Night Blooming Jessa- 
mine, but far superior in every respect. In the first
