CAMPANULA ISOPHYLLA mAVII. 



In ihis new Bellflower we have one of the most important and valuable 

 novelties of the season, and a plant that, with only ordinary care, can be 

 grown by anyone — a plant for everybody. It succeeds best as a pot plant 

 grown in a half shady situation, and may either be permitted to trail over 

 the sides of the pot or staked and grown upright, as shown in the illustra- 

 tion, which is a reproduction of a photograph of a plant grown in a 5-inch 

 pot, and gives a fair idea of both the shape of the flower as well as of its 

 remarkable floriferousness, hundreds of flowers being open at one time. In 

 color it is a lovely shade of lavender-blue. 



Awarded a certificate of merit by the Royal Horticultural Society of Eng- 

 land, and a plant that we cheerfully recommend. 75 cts. each.

CLEMATIS INDIVISA. 



This is not a new species, but one that is 

 rarely met with, and which is worthy of 

 extended cultivation. Not being hardy, it 

 requires the protection of a cool greenhouse, 

 and may be said to be one of the most valu- 

 able of all climbers for growing under glass. 

 Its flowers, which are pure white and from 

 1| to 2 inches in diameter, are produced in 

 .panicles frequently two feet long, and a well- 

 established plant during the early spring 

 months is simply a mass of bloom; the flow- 

 ■ers can be used to good advantage in a cut 

 state. The plant is evergreen and at all 

 times attractive. 75 cts. each.
