THE NEW 



HELIOTROPE, 



l&OI DES NO IRS 



HELIOTROPE. Rol des Noirs A beautiful new Heliotrope, 



that when better known is sure to become a favorite. The flowers are 

 «r a dark violet purple, with clear white eye. The foliage is unlike 

 any other variety, being pointed, and dark green in color. It is an 

 abundant bloomer, and of rich fragrance, and is desirable either for 

 Stammer decorations or Winter flowering. 20 cts. each ; 82.00 per doz. 

 CATALPA. Japanese Hybrid.— Here I offer a new tree, 

 'Much I am sure will interest every person who receives my Catalogue. 

 As an ornamental or useful tree it is of great value, being one of the 

 aaoet rapid growers of all hardy trees, and one of the most beautiful. 



From tho smallest 

 sprouts it will grow 

 in four or five years 

 to a large size. The 

 foliage is dense, 

 large, and luxur- 

 iant, deep, glowing 

 green. It is a most 

 profuse bloomer, 

 being literally 

 loaded with flow- 

 ers, and remaining 

 in bloom several 

 weeks. The flow- 

 ers are 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 

 magnificent specta- 

 cle to the eye, but 

 also fills the air for 

 quite a distance 

 with its agreeable 

 odor. Small trees 

 planted in village 

 lots grow, without 

 cultivation, in five 

 years, to be twenty- 

 five feet high and 

 twenty-four inches 

 in circumference at 

 one foot from the 

 CATALPA. Japanese Hybrid. ground. I believe 



She Japanese Hybrid is destined, when known, to take a prominent 

 piaee in the very front rank of trees for timber as well as ornamental 

 plantations. In rapidity of growth it rivals the most luxuriant trees 

 of temperate climates; while its hardiness has been demonstrated by 

 its standing uninjured twenty-five degrees or more below zero. Price 

 of vigorous, well-rooted trees, by mail, postpaid, 15 cents each ; 4 for 

 80 cents ; 10 for $1.00 ; 25 for 82.00 ; 100 for 86.00. 



CUTTINGS. 



The success I have met with in this new 

 way of distributin'g planf? at a very trifling 

 cost has been so great that I have largely 

 Uncreased my facilities and stock for this particular line of trade. I 

 aow have thousands of rare Geraniums, Fuchsias, Coleus, Chrysanthe- 

 mums, etc., etc., growing to meet the increasing demand. Those who 

 irave never tried this plan of growing their own plants will be surprised 

 at the pleasure it will afford them, and the little attention they require. 

 The classes of plants of which I offer cuttings are all easily propagated. 

 I do not offer cuttings of Roses and such other stock as are difficult 

 to grow, as they would only bring disappointment. Instructions 

 accompany each cutting order. PLEASE TAKE NOTICE, 

 ttiat while I exercise the greatest care in growing and packing 

 •ottings, I cannot be responsible for their growth, but with ordinary 

 care and attention to instructions 

 success will attend every effort. I 

 offer cuttings from my superb col- 

 lections of Geraniums and Coleus, 

 in all about 75 varieties, at 35 

 cents per dozen, or 90 cents 

 for 50 mixed varieties. I offer 

 cuttings, Carnation Pinks, 

 from about 30 very choice 

 varieties, Chrysanthe- 

 mums from 40 beautiful 

 sorts, and Fuchsias 



nfrom 25 elegant varieties 

 at 45 cents per dozen; 

 81.50 for 50.
