Double Russian. 



Thorough tests have demonstrated beyond a doubt that at 

 last we have found a violet equal in size, fragrance and beauty 

 to the English favorite, and absolutely hardy, requiring no pro- 

 tection, even in the most severe winters beyond a very light 

 covering of leaves or loose litter, enough to keep the sun's rays 

 off the plants. The flowers are large, double and deliciously 

 fragrant; color, dark shade of blue with tiny spots of red on 

 one or two of the petals. 



Price, each, 15 cts.; per doz., $1.50.

WATER HYACINTH — (PONTEDERIA.) 



THE WATER HYACINTH. 



, Eichhornia (Pontederia) Crassipes Major. 



One of the most beautiful and highly interesting aquatic 

 plants yet discovered. It grows most luxuriantly and blooms in 

 great profusion. It is very appropriately named, as the flower 

 very closely resembles that of the Hyacinth. The color of the 

 flower is a beautiful rosy lilac. The spikes are six to eight 

 inches long and the individual flowers are about two inches in 

 diameter. It may be grown in the Lily pond, or even in a tub 

 to perfection, in the summer. In the winter it is a charming 

 house plant if grown in some sort of a glass vessel, and simply 

 allowed to swim on the water. 



Price, each, 25 cts.; per doz., $2.50.
