: IPOM@:A MEXI- 
vp CANA.— Tuberous- 
Rooted Morning- 
Glory.— This beautiful 
climber has a dark glossy 
green, clear-cut foliage, some- 
what resembling a Passion vine. It 
forms a root the size of a small 
Dahlia, which is safely win- 
tered in the cellar and when 
planted out in the Spring will 
grow rapidly and be in flower in a 
short time. The vine produces its 
large, satiny, violet crimson flowers 
in clusters, and unlike any of its spe- 
cies, remains open all day long. Good 
strong bulbs, 20c. each ; 3 for 50c.; 7 for $1. 
MADEIRA OR MIGNONETTE VINE.— 
Also known as Mexican Vine. A beautiful climber, a> 
with glossy green leaves and beautiful long racemes of white A577, 
fragrant flowers, of rapid growth, a few tubers producing vines EZ cate 
enough toalmost cover a cottage in a single season. Tubers 8c. each ; 4 for 25c.; 65¢. doz. gs#4) 
JAPAN IRIS.—Iris Kzempferi.—The magnificence of these splendid new 4 
Trises surpasses description in beauty, size of flower, richness of % 
eoloring; they are grand! The flowers are enormous, averagin 
from 6 to 8 inches across and of indescribable and charming hues and 
colors, varying like watered silk in the sunlight, the prevailing colors 
being white, crimson, rose, lilac, lavender, violet and blue, each 
Seema flower usually representing several shades. A golden yellow blotch 
ee surrounded by a halo of blue or violet at the base of the petals in- 
tensifies the wealth of coloring. The Japan Iris is perfectly hardy 
and flowers in great profusion fora period of 5 to 7 weeks in June 
and July, and attains greatest ee reeenon if plentifully supplied 
with water while growing and flowering. Mixed colors, 15 ets. 
each ; 2 for 25 cents; $1.00 per dozen. 
FERRARIA, Cape Beauty.—I am sure that this 
=~ is the first time this extremely rare bulb has been offered in 
Y this country. I obtained it at great trouble and expense 
RSS 






































from the Cape of Good Hope, and grew it last season with 
much success. Flowers are quite large, and of regular form 
as shown in illustration. Colors are very peculiar—of a 
zreenish-brown and marked with a combination of hues 
impossible to describe. Edges of petals are curiously fringed ; 
no other flower in cultivation resembles it. It is of rapid growth, 
and produces a spike covered with many flowers. To those who 
like rare bulbs that cannot be found in every garden I would 
recommend it as a great curiosity. 25 cents each; 5 for $1.00. 
BABIANAS, Baboon Flower.—Were these to be offered 





j Ys as the ‘‘ Blue Gladiolus,” they would no doubt create a sensation— 
i if Uf and why not? Most people would really take them as such, and 
TY indeed many of the varieties are far more beautiful and interesting. } 
‘i My IRIS The 6 petaled flowers are often alternately white and blue—some- 3

. striped, blotched and bordered blue. Deep crimson, magenta, rose,
