PUEE WHITE CRAPE MYETLE. 



Introduced by Messrs. Nanz 

 and Neuner, of Louisville, Ky., 

 a seedling of tlie well-known 

 pink and rose-colored Lager- 

 stroemia Indica. It is of vigorous 

 and symmetrical growth, and 

 produces its pure white flowers 

 in great abundance. This is a 

 hardy plant in the Southern 

 States, and with slight protec- 

 tion will stand out near Phila- 

 delphia, and at the north can 

 be easily wintered in a cellar. 

 It is a great acquisition. Price, 

 $1.50. 



NEW DWAEF POMEGEANATE. 



Also introduced by above 

 firm, originated from seed 

 of the well-known single 

 Punica granatum. It has a 

 decided dwarf habit, the 

 foliage is smaller and of 

 a finer green than the old 

 variety. In its beautiful 

 foliage, symmetrical shape 

 and the profusion of its 

 bright scarlet flowers, with 

 dwarf growth, it can be 

 advantageously used as a 

 bedding plant, or for pot 

 culture, and from its har- 

 diness, and the facility to 

 keep the plants overwin- 

 ter, must become popular. 

 Price, $1.00.
