Jasminum Grandiflorum 



(Catalonian or Star Jasmine) 



This is the old favorite sweet scented variety, a most desirable 

 plant for the window garden producing its attractive white flowers 

 almost continuously. 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz. 



Jasminum Primulinum 



The old-time favorite Jasminum Nudiflorum is especially ad- 

 mired on account of its early flowering, its flowers, in a sheltered 

 position or against a warm wall, appearing as early as the middle 

 of March. In this variety, an introduction from China, we have 

 almost a counterpart, excepting that its flowers are fully double the 

 size. These appear simultaneously with the leaves. The plant 

 is not hardy north of Washington, but makes an excellent subject to 

 train on a trellis as a pot plant; grown in this way its bright yellow 

 flowers are much admired as a window plant. 25 cts. each. 



Lagerstroemia Indica (Crape Myrtle) 



This is one of the prettiest Shrubs and while hardy south of the 

 Potomac requires protection in this latitude. Grown in large pots 

 or tubs, specimens 6 to S feet high can be produced with little 

 difficulty, and which for two or three months in summer will be 

 covered with delicate soft pink flowers. Strong plants, $1.00 each. 



Pandanus 



(Screw Pine) 



Veitchi. One of the finest decorative plants for the house 

 graceful foliage, broadly striped with cream-white on a green 

 ground. 4-inch pots, $1.00 each; 6-inch pots, $2.50 each; 

 7-inch pots, $3.50 each. 



Passiflora (Passion Flower)

 light blue, suffused with rose and borne quite freely. 50 cts. 

 each.
