WEATHER PLANT. 



This beautiful plant has, dur- 

 ing- the last two years, cre- 

 ated a great sensation throughout t he world. It is said that the 

 leaves by changing their position, foretell the state of the 

 weather two days in advance, and extensive experiments, by or- 

 der of the Prince of Wales, sometime since, proves that it is in 

 trath prophetic. My cut shows the position the leaves are sup- 

 posed to assume in foretelling the weather. If the leaves stand 

 upward from the twig, making with each other an angle of 45 

 degrees, the sky will be cloudless and the weather beautiful in 

 all respects. If they stand out straight, changeable weather is 

 indicated. As the leaves droop below the twig the indications 

 range toward rain until, when the leaves hang straight down 

 water may be expected to fall almost in torrents. Pkt. 10c. 



Buckbee s Cosmopolitan Verbenas. 



The most magnificent strain ever offered ; the single florets are 

 of immense size, scarcely covered by a silver half dollar, and 

 the colors are simply superb, including all the most popular 

 shades. The trusses are of unusual size, completely covering 

 the plant with profusion of bloom. Start seed early, under 

 glass, if possible, that good strong plants may be had for trans- 

 planting to the garden. They will commence blooming in June 

 and continue until after severe frosts, and during this entire 

 time nothing will attract more attention than the bed or clump 

 of Verbenas. In August cuttings may be taken from some of 

 the best ones and potted up for winter 

 blooming-. Our prize strains are the finest in 

 cultivation. Splendid mixed, pkt. 100 seeds.

WATER LILLIES. 



Many persons have been deterred 

 from attempting the culture of 

 water plants by the idea that a special greenhouse and water 

 tank must be built for their accoommodation. True the various 

 varieties may be had in flower almost all the year round in such 

 a structure, yet they can be grown with equal success out of 

 doors in ponds or shallow streams of water having muddy bot- 

 toms, or in aequariums. or tanks in the house. Pkt., 10 seeds. 8c.
