Mrs. H. J. Kline, Lexington, Ky., writes: "The seeds, plants and 

 cut flowers that 1 have had from H. W. Buckbee have all been rnarvel- 

 ously fine. It seems to me thai every seed you ever sent us grew quickly. 

 Our Sweet Peas and Nasturtiums are surely world beating. I never 

 before saw such fine Chrysanthemums as those you sent." 



SWAINSONIA GALEGIFOLIA ALBA 



This is certainly a most charming ever-blooming plant of wonderful 

 freedom of growth and blooming the whole year through. Every shoot, as 

 soon as it' attains the height of 6 inches, begins to send forth large spikes of 

 ivory white flowers, which resemble a Roman Hyacinth. The individual 

 flower is fashioned after the Sweet Pea. Its lasting qualities as a cut flower 

 are remarkable — will last several days when cut and placed in water. The 

 cut flowers of this charming plant are in great demand, and during the past 

 season sold readily for S1.00 to $2.00 per dozen spikes. Strong plants, 

 15c. each. 



Swainsonia Carminea — Grows with same freedom as Alba. The color 

 is a beautiful carmine red. ISc. each. 



SET OF TWO VARIETIES ONLY 25 CENTS. POSTPAID. 



HONEYSUCKLE 



15 CENTS EACH: THE TWO FOE ONLY 25 CENTS. 



The dear old Honeysuckle is never out of place, at the rich man's man- 

 sion or the poor man's cottage. For a cheap, hardy, robust yet lovely 

 vine, it is the chief standby. Flowers exceedingly beautiful and very 

 fragrant. 



Golden Leaved — Marvelously effective. It bears innumerable sprays of 

 the most perfect little leaves, that are covered with a network of gold 

 and green, often marked with pink also. The gold deepens at the tip 

 of the sprays, and there is nothing finer to combine with corsage bou- 

 quets, while for trimming floral baskets they are the finest thing we 

 know of. A strong grower, with white blossoms. A unique vine. 



Halleana — The best monthly Honeysuckle, with dark green foliage, which 

 keeps fresh and green nearly all the Winter, and beautiful clusters of 

 the sweetest scented flowers, that open a snowy white and turn a pale 

 yellow. These flowers are produced in profusion from early Spring 

 until late Fall. A fine vine for a large trellis, or to train at the end of 

 a veranda or over tall screens.
