THE LOVETT COMPANY. 



SWAINSONIA ALBA. 



A beautiful, continuous flowering 

 new plant, with pure white Sweet 

 Pea like flowers, produced in sprays 

 of from twelve to twenty blossoms 

 each. Nothing surpasses it as a dec- 

 orative plant for the window or con- 

 servatory. The pinnated, feathery, 

 fern-like foliage is a cheerful light 

 green, and has always a neat and 

 clean appearance. It is of easy cul- 

 ture, growing in almost any light po- 

 sition. Its great freedom of bloom, 

 (being seldom without flowers), the 

 grace, purity and beauty of its flow- 

 ers, and the neat habit and fine appearance of the 

 whole plant will undoubtedly make it one of the 

 most popular plants in cultivation. Especially 

 valuable for cutting. Owing to its ease of culture 

 and beauty of both plant and flower, it is one of 

 the most valuable and desirable home plants that 

 has yet appeared. Ea., 15c; 4 for 50c; doz., $1.25. 



FUCHSIAS. 



CORAL GEM 



(Lotus Pelyorensis). 



Trailing Queen. Entirely different from all other 

 large flowering varieties, as it takes the form of a trail- 

 ing vine. As soon as the young plants start into 

 growth, they go trailing downward, branching freely, 

 until the stems are three to four feet in length, and 

 form a beautiful mass of elegant flowers and foliage. 

 The flowers are very large, long and graceful; the tube 

 and sepals being bright rosy scarlet, with a deep, rich 

 violet-purple corolla, which changes to a handsome 

 shade of crimson. The plant is a strong, free grower, 

 blooms abundantly, and will become one of the most 

 popular Fuchsias in cultivation. Its beautiful trailing 

 habit makes it one of the best plants 'we have for win- 

 dow boxes or hanging baskets. Ea., 15c; 4 for 50c; 

 doz., $1.25. 



Gracilis. A beautiful species, not well known in the 

 United States. It is of a delicate, trailing habit and is 

 constantly covered with myriads of small, coral-like 

 Fuchsias. Foliage very delicate and pretty, making a 

 beautiful plant for window, vase or basket; and is uni- 

 versally admired. Ea.. 15c; 4 for 50c; doz., $1,25, 



A most charming plant, not well known in this coun- 

 try, but highly esteemed abroad. It is of slender 

 branching habit, very graceful and with finely divided 

 silvery foliage, causing it sometimes to be termed sil- 

 very asparagus. But its attractive foliage is not its 

 only charm. It blooms freely, the flowers being bright 

 coral red and measuring two inches or more in length. 

 These beautiful flowers greatly remind one of the rare 

 and lovely Cleanthus or Glory Pea (which is always 

 difficult to grow), while this gem is of the easiest cul- 

 ture, thriving under the most ordinary conditions. 

 Especially valuable for hanging baskets, tubs, etc., by 

 reason of its graceful foliage and bright bloom, Ea., 

 15c; 4 for 50c; doz. ? $1,25,
