CLE RODE NDRON 



FRAGRANS. 



The large tropical looking leaves and compact 

 habit alone render this plant beautiful. But its 

 f oliage effect is but a small part of its value. The 

 large solid heads of waxy white flowers delicately 

 shaded pink, are exquisite and imposmg in appear- 

 ance and are the most deliciously fragrant of any- 

 thing we know— surpassing Orange blossoms. Jes- 

 samines or Gardenias and equal in rich luscious- 

 ness to Olea fragrans: but by no means so faint. 

 It is almost hardy, rendering it of easiest culture 

 at the Xorth. and at the South requiring no car 

 at all. Ea.. 20c: 3 for 50c; doz.. 81.75. 



ABUTILONS. 



Souv. de Bonn. Universally considered the most 

 beautiful of all Abutilons and is certainly a most 

 valuable novelty. The bright green leaves are 

 distinctly edged with a broad, pure white band. 

 The handsome flowers arebome on long stems and 

 are golden-yellow in color, veined with scarlet, 

 making a pleasing contrast with the highly orna- 

 mental foliage. Ea.. 15c: 1 for 50c;doz., $1.50. 



Golden Bells. The freest bloomer of all the 

 Abutilons and taken all in all. the finest and most 

 l yellow, literally covering the plant. Ea., 15c; 4
