beautiful, continu- 

 ous liowering plant, 

 with pure white 

 Sweet Pea-like flow- 

 ers, in sprays of from 

 twelve to twenty 

 each. Nothing sur- 

 passes it as a decora- 

 tive plant for the 

 window or conserva- 

 tory, and its feath- 

 ery, fern-like foliage 

 is a cheerful light 

 green, always neat 

 and clean. It is very 

 free flowering and of 

 the easiest culture, 

 making an admirable and beautiful plant for pots. Ea., 

 15c; 3 for 40c; doz., 81.25. [Bxj mail).

 cept in the color of the flowers which are rosy-pink. 

 Prices same as preceding.

 known and favorite creeper. Dark evergreen, glossy

TECOMA SMITHII. 



"A remarkable novelty from Australia, belonging to 

 the Trumpet Creeper family, but always growing in 

 dwarf bush form. As many as 100 flowers are some- 

 times produced on a siugie shoot, the total height of 

 vi hich is not more than IS inches. The flowers are over 

 2 inches in length, of a rich lemon and dark orange 

 color, flushed outside with a reddish tone."' 

 Strong plants, from 4 in. pots, ea., 40c; 3 for 81.00. 



Lady Hume Campbell. Decidedly the most valuable 

 variety that has yet appeared. An extra vigorous 

 grower, with ample, broad foliage and immense, dark, 

 rich blue double flowers of the most perfect form and 

 delightful fragrance. The rugged constitution of this 

 violet enables it to successfully resist all diseases, and 

 continually produce immense nmnbers of the most per- 

 fect flowers. Altogether the most desirable variety 

 for forcing. No one need have any difficulty in suc- 

 cessfully blooming this variety in winter. The plants 

 we offer are grown in pots with good roots ; not lifted 

 from the border in the usual way. By planting them 

 in a cold frame and giving them plenty of air and 

 light upon fair days, a supply of these lovely and de- 

 lightfully fragrant flowers can be had during the 

 whole winter long. Ea., 10c. ; doz., 81.00; 100, 86.00. 



Double Russian. A superb variety especially adapted 

 fo.- outdoor culture, where it thrives vigorously under 

 ihe most ordinary conditions. The flowers are im- 

 mense in size, perfectly double, and of the deepest vio- 

 let-blue color imap^inable, and are deliciously fragrant. 

 It blooms early in the spring and in remarkable pro- 

 fusion for many weeks, and again at the approach of 

 cool nights in the fall. It is entirely hardy and free 

 from disease of any kind. It may be left in the open 

 ground all winter, and is particularly valuable for 

 cemetery decoration. Ea., 10c; doz., 81.00: 100, 86.00. 



The California. The flowers are single and of large 

 size, clear violet-blue and of intense fi-agiance. Has 

 not proved very satisfactory ^vith us. Ea., 10c. ; doz., 

 81.00; 100, 85.00. 



Warren Co., Ohio, July 27, 1896. 

 Tbe bulbs I purchased of you last fall more than met my 

 expectatlan, nearly every one grew, sending up healthy, strong 

 plants ano the bloom was both abundant and beautiful. I have 

 but little space left for more bulbs, yet. If you get up such 

 desirable collections this fall as you did last, 1 will probably 

 want some. B- B. Corwin.
