Double Ivy.-leavbd Geranium Leopard. 



TWO CHOICE FERNS. 



Adiantum Bensoniana. A most beautiful Maiden-Hair, with large 

 fronds and deep green pinna, which, while closely overlapping, is 

 not so dense as to make the frond appear crowded. It makes a 

 handsome specimen plant, and is a distinct addition to our long list 

 of Adiantums. $1.00 each. 



Asplenium Nidus Avis nultilobatum. A distinct new variety 

 of the Bird's-nest Fern, with which it is identical in every way, ex- 

 cept that the edges of the fronds are deeply lobed of toothed in 

 irregular segments. This variety is worthy of a place in every 

 collection. $1.50 each. 



A RAR£ HARDY FERM. 



Aspleiiiuin Filix — Foeiniiia Tictoriae. 



It is impossible to adequately describe the beauty of this Queen of 

 Lady Ferns. The fronds grow from 12 to 15 inches long, and are of 

 peculiar form. Planted in dense shade it makes a beautiful specimen 

 and is perfectly hardy. 50 cts. each ; §5.00 per doz. 



]\E1Y GERAHflUITIS FOR 

 CO]\SERVATORY DECORATIOIV. 



Many fine Geraniums annually introduced are judged by their ability 

 to stand our severe climatic conditions when bedded out, and as few 

 stand this test, some of the very finest sorts for conservatory decoration 

 are lost sight of entirely. The two sets here offered are among the 

 finest inti^oductions of the season, and we feel certain will meet with 

 popular favor and please the most critical amateur.

 mous double flowers.

 60 cts. each. 



New^ Double I^'y-leaved Geraniums.

Leopard, Large semi-double flowers of remarkable coloring, the 

 ground color being clear lilac-pink with heavy carmine blotches

 duction, and may be aptly described as a Lady Washington Ivy- 

 leaf. The greatest break in this seation ever obtained. (See cut.) 

 25 cts. each ; §2 50 per doz. 



Hydrangea Mortensis Mariesii. 



One of the most distinct and effective varieties yet introduced. It 

 is especially remarkable for the large size and distinct color of its 

 sterile flowers, which are fully 3 inches across; of a light pink color 

 tinted with mauve. (See cut.) 



Strong plants, flowering size, 30 cts. each ; S300 per doz. 



Extra strong flowering plants, 50 cts. each ; §5.00 per doz. 



THE CLIMBING HYDRANGEA. 



Sctiis^opliragma Hydrangeoides. 



Although introduced from Japan in 1879, this grand climber is 

 always scarce. It is one of the most desirable and interesting of our 

 hardy climbers. Its flowers, which are borne in large trusses, are 

 similar to a white Hydrangea, and when in flower, during July and 

 August, make a handsome display. It is one of the best flowering 

 vines we know of for planting against a tree or wall, as it clings 

 naturally to any rough surface, and requires no support or tying. We 

 offer a limited lot of extra strong plants, established in tubs 3 to 4 

 feet high, which will produce a quick effect, at $2.50 each.
