BROWALLIA SPECIOSA MAJOR. 



The " Giant BrozL-ijll:^ " voilered by some as Streptosolen;. It is a grand plant for the winter garden, 

 blooming continuously. The flowers are a very rich indigo blue, fully two inches across, fairly covering 

 the plant. Valuable for cut flowers as they are borne on long graceful stems with abtmdant fohage. 

 Price, 15c. each, $1.50 doz.

The Carnations offered have been specially grown for winter flowering. They are strong, healthy 

 plants, well branched and set with flowers and buds. The plants from the open ground are not potted, 

 but if put in pots when received should flower freely. We also offer strong plants established in pots, 



ready October 1st.

 red and double variegated. Not mailable. Price, $1.00

The Fleecy' White Fragrant Clematis 



CLEMATIS PANICULATA. 



This grand climbing vine, one of the most valuable ever 

 sent to us from Japan — the source of so many floral won- 

 ders — is well worthy of a place on pretentious dwelling or 

 humble cottage. No written description, no picture in 

 the limited space of a catalogue, can do justice to it. To 

 see it in the early fall, covering a porch, a treUis, an arbor, 

 a fence, a boundar>' wall, a slope, or any other object where 

 it is planted, 'n-ith a mass of fleecy whiteness, exhaling its 

 deUcious, Hawthorn-like fragrance, is to admire and want 

 it. Even when the mass of starry* flowers is gone, when 

 the fleecy mantle of "^'hite has vanished for another year, 

 there is another phase of its beauty evident. Then is 

 seen the thousands of si'.very, raw-silk feather>' seed vessels 

 hanging in graceful festoons and ghstening in the sunlight. 

 Its beauty is not alone in its bloom and seed time; its re- 

 freshingly green foliage, its graceful habit, lend it a beauty 

 unmatched. It will grow- fifteen to twenty feet in a season, 

 it is insect-proof, it is perfectly hardy, it adapts itself to all 

 situations, thrives everywhere, and need only be seen to be 

 admired. Price, strong plants, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz., 

 $10.00 per 100.
