A new addition to our list of deco-

borne ona stem about 2 feet high, 
resembling in appearance a hya- 
cinth, but the flower spike is longer, 
and it is altogether a larger plant. 
Blooms in July or August. The 
leaves are oblong and of aspreading 
habit. Highly recommended for 
outside planting for centres of beds. 
Should be potted and housed in the 
INCARVILLEA DELAVAYI. 
A very desirable hardy perennial 
plant belonging in the same botanic 
order with the bignonia. It has 
come into wide favor recently, and 
has been aptly termed “the hardy 
gloxinia.”’ It produces rose-colored 
trumpet shaped flowers, spotted 
with yellow, the throat of the flower 
being brown. Strong flower stalks 
are thrown from the root to the 
height of two feet, and handsome 
fall. 25 cents each, postpaid. flowers are freely produced in race- 
mous clusters atthe top. 2-year-old

JAPANESE IRIS. Tris Kempferi. 
The flowers of these irises are enormous, being 6 or 
8 inches across, and are of charming hues and colors, 
embracing white, crimson, rose, lilac, blue, lavender, 
and violet, each flower representing several shades.

blotch on each petal adds to the color effect of the 
flower. The Japanese irises are perfectly hardy,

perfection if supplied with an abundance of water 
at the time of flowering. All the above colors in pp, 
mixture, 10c. each; 3 for 25c.; 90c. per doz., postpaid. 
GERMAN IRIS. Iris Germanica. 
The German irises are of unparalleled 
beauty, thought to exceed even the celebra- 
ted Japanese irises, and to be comparable 
with nothing except tropical orchids. 
They are certainly of rare and won- 
derful loveliness, not only in color and 
Shape of flowers, but in the decorative 
value of the plants for borders andg 
edgings. They are perfectly hardy and ® 
will thrive in any good soil. The illustra- 
¥ tion gives a fair though partial idea of 
the peculiar markings of this splendid 
group or class of irises. Set the roots 3 
inches deep. Mixed colors, 5 cents each; 
6 for 25 cents; 45 cents per dozen, postpaid.

CINNAMON VINE. 
This beautiful vine makes shoots 25 feet 
or more in length in a remarkably short 
space of time, and will quickly cover an 
arbor, trellis or veranda with a profusion 
of handsome foliage and numbers of 
white blossoms, which emit a cinnamon 
fragrance. 5 cents each; 6 for 25 cents; 40 
cents per dozen, postpaid. 
GLOXINIA BULBS. 
These gorgeous plants can be grown 
successfully with ordinary care, flower- 
ing in six to eight weeks after the bulbs 
are placed in the soil. They should be 
started in a greenhouse, hotbed or sunny 
window. They will bloom until late 
summer, when they should be dried off, 
letting the leaves die. The bulbs must be 
kept out of reach of frost. Gloxinias are 
among the most ornamental of our ten- 
der flowering plants. No window garden 
or conservatory is complete without a 
few of them.
