NOVELTIES IN PLANTS. 



New Violet, California. 



This variety was sent out last season from California with much 

 enthusiasm as the finest single blue variety in cultivation. The flowers, 

 which are very large, are borne on long stout stems, which makes it 

 especially valuable for cut-flower purposes; they are intensely fragrant and 

 of a clear violet purple color that does not fade out. 15 cents each, $1.50 

 per doz. 



New Single Red Violet, Admiral Avellan. 



A variety of French introduction with entirely distinct bright reddish 

 purple flowers, different from anything yet introduced ; the flowers, which 

 are produced verv freelv, are of large size and fragrant. 35 cts. each, 

 4 for $1.00. 



New Fuchsia, Hadame Bruant. 



A vigorous grower, and of fine, drooping-tree habit. The flowers are 

 of a size and fulness before unknown ; the color is a rosy heliotrope, 

 marked and veined in rose. Sepals bright red, and to which a number of 

 the petals of the corolla are very curiously affixed, owing to the extreme 

 doubleness of the flower. Grand, long-pointed, rounded bloom, with 

 sepals strongly re-curved. 30 cts. each, 4 for $1.00. 



New Double White Fuchsia, Bon Vouloir. 



Double white corolla, very full, of more than medium size ; sepals 

 bright red, the color from each being carried down on to the pure white 

 petals. Extremelv free, both in growth and bloom. 30 cts. each, 

 4 for §1.00. 



Vitis Coignetiae (Crimson Glory Vine). 



Considerable interest in this plant has been aroused in England since it 

 has become known that it is the same as a vine which has been in the 

 collection of Mr. Anthony Waterer, at Knap Hill, many years, and which, 

 while it has delighted everyone who has seen it in its brilliant autumn colors, has 

 persi-tentlv refused to be propagated. The Knap Hill plant is an enormous specimen, 

 and clambers over a building and an old tree-trunk, and the brilliant red of its 

 thousands of large leathery leaves in September or October is worth going a long 

 way to see. For au- 

 tumn coloring this vine 

 is unique, its leaves 

 changing to the most 

 glowing crimson. Tn it 

 we get both beauty of 

 form and habit and 

 superb leaf coloring. 

 A fine addition in the 

 way of a vine. 50c. each 



Heliopsis Pitcherianus. 



A desirable hardy herbaceous plant, growing 

 from 2 to 3 feet high, and a perpetual bloomer, 

 beginning to flower early in the season and con- 

 tinuing in bloom the entire summer. The flowers 

 are of a beautiful deep golden yellow color, about 

 2 inches in diameter, of very thick texture, and 

 are very graceful for cutting. 15 cts. each, SI. 50 

 per doz. 



Heuchera Sanguinea. 



A most desirable perennial dwarf, compact 

 branching growth and robust constitution, grow- 

 ing about 2 feet high. The flowers are produced 

 in loose, graceful spikes and come in the greatest 

 profusion. In color it varies from light coral red 

 to crimson, and when seen in full perfection 

 dazzles the eye with its brilliancy. 25 cts. each, 

 $2.50 per doz. 



Spirea Van Houtti. 



The grandest of all white Spireas; it is a 

 beautiful ornament for the layn at any season, 

 but when in flower it is a complete fountain of 



California Violet, white bloom, the foliage hardly showing. Clusters 

 of twenty to thirty flat white florets make up the 



raceme and these clusters are set close along the drooping stems. 



Perfectly hardy, and an early bloomer. 30 cts. each, 4 for $1.00. 



Lilium Wallichianum. 



We have succeeded in procuring a fine stock of this most beautiful 

 of all the Trumpet Lilies. It has immense funnel or trumpet shaped 

 flowers of heavy texture and of elegant color, which is of a pure 

 white shaded with chocolate on the outside and delicately tinged with 

 yellow on the inside. 50 cts. each.
