THE NEW HARDY 



Japanese Snowball. 



A SIGHT TO BEHOLD. 

 GRAND BEYOND DESCRIPTION. 



THIS Japanese variety of the old-fashioned Snowball is one of 

 the most valuable of all hardy shrubs. It forms an erect, 

 compact plant 6 to 8 feet in height, blooms in June and for 

 a long time the plants are filled with hundreds of big snowy 

 balls that glisten with ethereal whiteness like gems in the 

 sunlight. One of the grandest and most striking of all hardv 

 decorative plants. Well worth 60c. ; my price is 15c. each. 



NEW LEMON VERBENA. 



A UNIVERSAL favorite and 

 invaluable for its fragrant 

 leaves, so graceful when mixed 

 with bouquets. They will re- 

 tain' their fragrance for years 

 when dried. As a plant for the 

 garden or for pots it is equally 

 valuable, its fine sprays of 

 foliage, with its delicious fra- 

 grance, making ic always desir- 

 able for bouquets, etc. They 

 flower profusely, and each 

 plant in good rich soil will 

 cover a space of 3 to 4 feet in 

 diameter, producing, if the 

 blooms are removed as soon as 

 they begin to fade, a mass of 

 bloom continually. This plant 

 is well known and is very easy 

 to grow. 'Admired by all for its 

 unrivaled splendor and bril- 

 liant beauty. A plant that is 

 necessary to every collection. 

 You should include it in vour 

 order. For strong and healthy 

 plants only 10c. each. 



THE NEW HARDY JAPANESE SNOWBALL 



THE NAPOLEON CLIMBER. 



rpHE greatest novelty among climbers. Most certainly will this greatest of all members of the Cinnamon Vine family reach a 

 summit of popularity that will overshadow its rivals. This charming climber has a history that is really interesting. When 

 Napoleon Bonaparte was in the height of his reign, all nations bowed to his conquering power. Many sent him costly presents and 



souvenirs almost without end. Among the latter, a province of 

 China sent a bulb of this valuable climber, which was highly- 

 cherished by Napoleon, a nd the original may be seen growing at 

 Versailles by all who may chance to visit the favorite residence 

 of the great French Emperor. 



The plants are very nice for sill ornaments, or any out-door 

 purpose, where a climbing vine can be used to good advantage. 

 They are perfectly hardy, the stem dying down every autumn, 

 but will grow again early in the spring, and so rapidly as to com- 

 pletely cover any trellis or arbor very early in the season. The 

 vines often run 25 feet or more, and when trained over 

 and above a door or window make an ornament much admired, 

 while its many clusters of delicate white flowers send out 

 an amount of fragrance that is truly wonderful, and the aroma 

 to a great degree resembles cinnamon, which, to say the least, 

 is very pleasing. The cordate foliage is exceedingly pretty, 

 being of a glossy green hue. The Napoleon climber, though 

 easily grown, will fully reward any extra attention given it. 

 Soil should be very light and rich, and the plant mulched thor- 

 oughly every fall. Fine roots, that will bloom this year, grown 

 from stock secured from "original" at Versailles, 10c. each.
