CLIMBING 



TROP^OLUM 



PHCEBE. 



A most attractive and deliciously-scented 

 variety, producing flowers throughout the 

 Winter and Summer season, of a deep gol- 

 den yellow, with a rich crimson-feathered 

 blotch in each segement, outer edges notched 

 or scalloped, the whole forming into an 

 exquisitely-shaped blossom. A free, vigorous 

 grower. When in the height of its per- 

 fection, strings of growth 8 to 10 feet long, 

 resplendent with its parti-colored flowers, 

 can be cut for decoration. A grand trailer 

 for the greenhouse in early Spring, or out 

 doors during the Summer. 25 cts. each ; 



!.50 per doz. 



PENTAS LANCEOLATA. 



A pretty half-shrubby greenhouse plant, not unlike a Bouvardia 

 in general habit and appearance, but flowering much more pro- 

 fusely and continuously. It may be planted in the open border 

 during the Summer, but it is valuable chiefly as a Winter-flowering 

 pot plant for the window or conservatory, for which purpose it is 

 especially well suited, being in flower all the time. 



The pure white flowers are produced in flat heads of 15 to 30 

 flowers each, similar to a Bouvardia, but much larger, and last in 

 perfection a long time. 25 cts. each ; $2.50 per doz. 



NEW 



WEIGELIA 



EVA RATHKE. 



It is rarely that we notice decided novel- 

 ties in this popular shrub, but in this variety 

 we certainly have a grand acquisition, a 

 variety that is at once a remarkably free 

 bloomer and entirely distinct color, being a 

 rich reddish-purple, quite different from 

 anything heretofore offered. 25 cts. each; 

 52 50 per doz. 



TRITOMA 



PFITZERII. 



(Flame Flower.) 



A grand improvement of the old Tritoma 

 Uvaria Grandiflora, or Red-Hot Poker. The 

 flower spikes, which are produced with con- 

 siderable more freedom than in the old 

 variety, are of gigantic size, frequently 

 4 J feet high, with heads of bloom over 

 12 inches long, of a rich orange-scarlet, 

 shading to salmon-rose on the edge ; a really 

 first-class acquisition. 25 cts each ; §2.50 

 per doz. 



Tritoma Pfitzerii 



EINARIA MACEDONICA. 



Not a novelty, but one of the good old hardy herbaceous plants 

 that has been lost sight of for some time. It is a robust growing 

 plant about 2 feet high, bearing in endless profusion spikes of 

 golden-yellow flowers with an orange lip somewhat resembling a 

 Snapdragon. Perfectly hardy and succeeds in almost any posi- 

 tion. 30 cts. each ; §3-00 per dozen. 



NEW GIANT SINGEE VIOEET, 

 EA FRANCE. 



Of the many new Violets introduced in the past few years, 

 this, the latest introduction of the foremost French specialist, is 

 unquestionably the best. It is of a rich violet-blue color, of 

 strong, vigorous growth, free in bloom and deiiciously violet- 

 scented, and will no doubt soon supersede all existing sorts. 

 Ready March 1st. 20 cts. each ; $2.00 per doz.
