Bismarck." 



TERBASCUM PANNOSUM.

 very large rosette of downy hilvery-gray foliage, from the centre of which 

 rises the stately flower spike, reaching a height of 4 to 5 feet. The indi- 

 vidual flowers, which appear profusely every day during the flowering 

 period, are rather large and of a bright yellow color. The single flowers 

 often measure o feet in length. Single specimens of this plant are strik- 

 ingly beautiful and highly decorative when planted in isolated .positions;

IPO:»I<EA SETOSA. 



(Xew Brazilian ^loruing' Glory.) 



No. 5962. To the genus Ipomcea we are indebted for some of ihe most mag- 

 nificent of climbing pl.ints. One of the most ornamental and finest of these 

 is this new Brazilian Morning Glory. It is an annual and the mest vigor- 

 ous and rapid in growth of all vines, climbing 30 to 50 feet. Ihe vines 

 branch and climb in all directions, a single vine soon covering a large tree, 

 arbor or building. Its leaves are like those of the Grape in form and of 

 immense size, often a foot across in rich soil. The flowers, which open in 

 the morning, are three inches or more across, of a beautiful rose color, and 

 are borne in large clusters very freely from July to frost. Every part of the 

 vine is thickly covered with short reddish hairs which, with its immense 

 leaves and large clusters of curious seed capsules, render it highly orna- 

 mental, and give it quite a tropical appearance. For quickly covering a 

 piazza it has no equal. Per pkt., 15 cts. ; 2 pkls., 25 cts. 



IPOMCEA (MINA) SANGUINE A. 



No. 5968. A beautiful and rapid-growing climber ; much finer th^m the Mina 

 lobata and certain to flower, producing innumerable brilliant blood-red 

 flowers ; decidedly one of the best climbers recently introduced. Pkt.. 25 cts. 



Xropaeolum LrObbiaxiuiii " Bismarck." 



No. 6176. Among the climbing Tropaeolums we think this variety will 

 take first place. It grows to a height of 5 to 7 feet, and is covered from 

 June to October with the brightest scarlet flowers imaginable, contrasting 

 richly with the small, pale, ]iea-green foli.Tge. A constant summer 

 blooming climbing plant, of so rich a scarlet, has been long in demand.

 Poppy, producing from 40 to 50 per cent, of perfectly double

 tries in the past few years. Per pkt . 20 cts.
