Five Grand Pelargoniums. 



The five varieties of Pelargoniums, or Lady Washington Geraniums, 

 listed below are the finest that have ever come to our notice. The plants 

 are of strong vigorous growth, and very free flowering, while the size 

 and shape of the flowers are all that could be desired. 

 Madame Gustav Henry. A most distinct and handsome new variety, 



with large rosy carmine flowers with a white centre, and deep purple 



blotch ; very large trusses, neat compact vigorous habit, and free 



bloomer. 



Madame Thibaut. White, richly blotched and marked with rose, the 



upper petals marked with crimson maroon with large white centre ; 



the trusses and individual flowers are of immense size, while the 



petals are heavily ruffled, giving it a well doubled appearance. 

 Mrs. Robert Sandiford. A sport of the above variety with which it is 



identical in every way, except in color, which is of a pure glistening 



snow-white ; a grand acquisition. 

 Madame Vibert. A grand flower with black maroon blotches bordered 



fiery red, the flower entirely edged with rose, a vigorous grower of fine 



habit and a free bloomer. 

 Marquise of Salisbury. A high colored variety with rich dark spots 



and very large flowers.

 terpart of Plumbago Capensis ex- 

 cept in color, which is a creamy

 style to Plumbago Eosea, but pro- 

 ducing long racemes of flowers 12

RUSSELIA JUNCEA. 



A most useful basket or vase plant, producing numerous long 

 wiry stems, which are virtually leafless. Upon these stems and 

 branches the flowers are borne, which are about one inch long, 

 tubular and of brilliant scarlet color, and are produced in the 

 greatest freedom. 15 cts. each, SI .50 per doz. 



SOLANUn WENDLANDI MAGNIFICUH. 



A rare and beautiful species of climbing habit, beginning to 

 flower early in July and continuing in full bloom until cut down 

 by severe frost. This was one of the most highly admired plants 

 in our trial grounds the past summer, attracting attention at once 

 on account of the large size of its flowers, which are over two 

 inches in diameter, and are produced in large clusters, frequently 

 over one hundred flowers being on one truss. Color, a mauve 

 blue of a distinct and pleasing shade. 30 cts. each, 4 for SI. 00. 



SOLANUM SEAFORTHIANUn AZUREUH. 



(The Blue Solatium.) 



A pretty climbing species of the same habit of growth as Jas- 

 minoides "grandiflorum, but with large clusters of blue flowers 

 which are succeeded by scarlet berries which remain perfect for a 

 long time. 15 cts. each, 4 for 50 cts. 



SOLANUn JASMINOIDES GRANDIFLORUH. 



A beautiful plant, which inclines to a trailing or climbing habit, 

 but can be pinched back to a bush form. Its flowers are star- 

 shaped, like a Clematis, and borne in enormous panicles or clus- 

 ters, often a foot across. In color they are pure white, with a 

 violet tinge on back of petals and on the buds. In pots it is a 

 fine bloomer both summer and winter. 15 cts. each, 4 for 50 cts.
