EVERBLOOMING OXALIS, GOLDEN 5 
STAR. x 
I gave prominence to this rare Oxalis on one of my col- if iy AG & 
ored plates in 1892, and it has fulfilled all my expectations. We \ o: 
There is not another Oxalis in cultivation that can compare with : 5 i Ps 
ee ew yaTlety ion mane of bloom snd beauty of foliage. Its cs ct 
ght, golden star-like flowers cover the plant in profusion winter 5 ; 
or summer, indoors or out. Its very peculiar foliuge, fish-tail HELIOTROPE. Roi des Noirs. Q' 
like, dark olive-green above, purple below, affords the most 2 
pleasing contrast. Even the lea Stalks, which are bright red, add beauty to the whole. Being such an easy 
plant to grow, I can recommend it highly. It would also be a profitable plant for florists, as it can be propa- [ 
gated from the smallest branches, and a fine stock can therefore be obtained almost at once for filling window a 
boxes or for large beds in the garden. Price, 20 cents each; 3 for 50cents; 7 for $1.00, post-paid. a 
NEW SCARLET SAGE.—Ingenieur Clavenad. fe 
A marked improvement over the old Salvia Splendens, flowering earlier and continuing to bloom pro- l=) 
fusely until cut down by frost. The flowers are of a most brilliant scarlet, the spikes being longer and more ie 
perfectly filled than the old Scarlet Sage, many measuring from 8 to 10 inches in length. Seed, packet, 15 a

eo av large size. The foliage is dense, large and luxuriant, 
WV et ep ab deep, glowing green. It is a most profuse bloomer, 
0 A being literally loaded with flowers, and remaining in 
TOS gy ¢ bloom several weeks. The flowers are white, with 4 
$~ gst %, small purple dots, and a touch of yellow around the 
nO" ab throat. They have a Neu pleasant and delicate fra- 
avr nes ibe ngrance, and a tree in bloom not only et a~

0 } I believe the Japanese Hybrid is destined, when 

® known, to take a prominent place in the very front 
‘rank of trees for timber as well as ornamental planta- 
tions. In rapidity of growth it rivals the most luxuri- § 
ant trees of temperate climates, while its hardiness 
has been demonstrated by its standing uninjured y 
twenty-five degrees or more below zero. Professor + 
Hussmann, of the Missouri State Agricultural College, @ 
says: ‘‘Massive in all its proportions, straight and & 
rigid, it looks like a production of the tropical zone; ~ 
ret it seems to be entirely hardy, with its immense 
eayes, sometimes lobed, velvety-brown, when they 
first appear, and changing into dark green, followed & 
by immense panicles of flowers containing sometimes 5 
from three to four hundred buds and bloom, contrast- ‘3 
ing finely with its dark massive foliage. It may be rw 
truly called a regal tree. Plants the size of small 
straws, sent me through the mail last May, whichI 
planted late in that month, have grown this summer ¥ 
seven feet high and from four to five inches in circum- J 
ference atthe base. I thinkitis the fastest growing tree 8 
Iknow. It makesa beautiful object on a lawn and “ 
should be in every one’s door-yard.”’ Price of vigor- ¢ 
ous, well-rooted trees, by mail, post-paid, 15 cents »
