 ing large clusters of 

 bluish pink flowers in 

 great abundance 

 through the season; 

 the flowers are very 

 persistent, lasting 

 two or three months. 



Thomas Hoggf. — 

 This is the finest of 

 all Hydrangeas. It 



is a more free and abundant bloomer than 

 any other; for the florists and all decora- 

 tive purposes it will be invaluable The 

 flowers are all the purest white, of very 

 fine texture, and continue to flower for a 

 great length of time; quite hardy in open 

 ground. 



Snowball. — New Hardy Hydrangea (Ar- 

 borescens alba grandinora). — This magnifi- 

 cent hardy American shrub is the very 

 finest addition to this class of plants 

 found in many a year. The blossoms are 

 of the very largest size, of pure snow- 

 white color. It comes into bloom just 

 after the passing of the early spring 

 flowering shrubs, and is perfectly hardy. 



Prices of all the above varieties, 25c, 50c. 

 and $1.00 each. 



HIBISCUS SINENSIS. — This plant 

 rivals the geranium in popularity. A very 

 good way to make them bloom freely and 

 facilitate the lifting in fall is to trans- 

 plant each plant into a pot two or three 

 sizes larger than the one it has grown in, 

 then plunge the pot all together into the 

 ground, the soil to cover over the surface 

 two inches. Then in the fall the plant can 

 be lifted without injury, and being trans- 

 planted again, and kept in a shady, cool 

 place until fully recovered, it will, in a 

 warm sunny window, in a warm room, 

 bloom constantly. We can supply them in 

 either colors of crimson, red, pink, yellow 

 and salmon. Price, 15c. to 25c. each; large 

 plants, 50c. to $1.00 each.
