Marquis de Uastellane— A magnificent red vari- 

 ety wiih large double flowers and good big trusses, 

 one of the best bedders in existence. 



Apple Geranium— This is the old fashioned 

 Geranium, the fragrance of whose foliage resem- 

 bles ripe apples. It is very desirable, and much 

 sought after, being very scarce, 25c each. 



Rose Geranium— This is ihe old fashioned rose 

 scented geranium. ^Oc. each. 



Ivy Geranium— A fine collection of all the best 

 varieiies and novelties, including double red, 

 double pink and double white. 



Prices on the above 10c. each, $1 dozen, except 

 where noted. 



GLOXINIAS— This class of gorgeous summer- 

 blooming bulbous rooted plants can be grown suc- 

 cessfully with ordinary care, flowering in six or 

 eight weeks after the bulbs are placed in the soil. 

 25 and 50 cents each. 



HELIOTROPE— Of these popular fragrant blos- 

 soms, we have selected those which are most 

 adaptable to our southern climate, size of flower, 

 color and fragrance, our standpoint in selection. 



Reine des Violets— Color dark blue, very free 

 and of great substance. 



Jean Poitevene— A most pleasant shade of light 

 blue with small white eye, very fragrant and flow- 

 ers in great abundance. 



Snow Queen— A strong variety ; habit strong and 

 vigorous, and also very fragrant; color clear 

 white. 



Sapphire— Violet blue, one of the best. 



La Duse— Plant about 12 inches tall, with the 

 prettiest foliage of any heliotrope extant, small 

 stiff and glossy; the habit, also, is unique, as the 

 stiff stems are quite uniform in height and sup- 

 port enormous trusses of bloom that are semi- 

 globular in form, making a great spread of color, 

 which is blue shading to lavender; the odor is ex- 

 quisite. In the recent very dry summer this grand 

 variety was the one noticeable sort in the field, 

 growing and blooming persistently. What it will 

 be like in a season of normal moisture, we can 

 hardly predict. Price, 25c. each. 



Prince Charmant— Another variety with hand- 

 some foliage, extremely free in bloem, color a 

 lovely tint of bluish mauve. Like all of theBrnant 

 type, this variety has panicles of bloom of enor- 

 mous size. Is dwai f and compact in growth, and 

 a great advantage on older sorts. Price, 10c. each, 

 $1 dozen. 



HYDRANGEAS— Beautiful blooming plant adap- 

 ted to rather shady location. The large clusters 

 of flowers resemble the snow ball, only being 

 mueh larger. 



Otaksa— A very beautiful variety from Japan, 

 giving large clusters of bluish pink flowers in 

 great abundance through the season; the flowers 

 are very perisitent, lasting two or three months. 



Thomas Hogg— This is the finest of all hydran- 

 geas. It Is a more free and abundant bloomer 

 than any other; for the florists and all decorative 

 purposes it will be invaluable. The flowers are all 

 the purest white, of very fine texture, and con- 

 tinue in flower for a great length of time; quite 

 hardy in open ground. 



New White Fringed— The flowers are formed in 

 immense trusses, sometimes nine inches in diam- 

 eter; the bracts are of the purest white, fringed, 

 having a crimson spot in the center. This variety 

 we find to be not only finer but hardier than the 

 old white hydrangeas, Thomas Hogg. Price, 25c, 

 35c., 50c. and $1 each. 



Hibiscus Sinensis. 



HIBISCUS SINENSIS— This plant rivals the 

 geranium in popularity. A very good wav to make 

 them bloom freely and facilitate the lifting in fall 

 is to transplant each plant into a pot two or three 

 sizes larger than the one it has grown in, then 

 plunge the pot altogether into the ground, the 

 soil to cover the surface two inches. Then in the 

 fall the plant can be lifted without injury, and 

 being transplanted 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, yellow and salmon. Frice, 10c each; larger 

 plauts 15c. 25c, 50c and 75c each. 



HOYA CARNO^A (Wax Plant.)— Has thick, 

 fleshy leaves, growing moderately fast and bear- 

 ing umbels of beautiful flesh colored flowers, 

 from which are exuded large drops of honey-like 

 liquid. One of the best plants for house culture, 

 as it stands the extremes of heat and cold better 

 than most plants, and is not injured by neglect. 

 25c, 35c, 50c to $1.00 



JASMINS 



Jasminum Grandiflorum— This is an old favorite 

 and the most satisfactory for general culture of 

 all the Jasmines. It flowers nearly the whole 

 season and is especially valuable as a house plant 

 in winter; flowers star shaped, pure white and 

 very fragrant . 20 and 50 cents each . 



Maid of Orleans (new Jessamine)— A magnifi- 

 cent new variety, with laTge, double flowers; 

 blooms profusely all summer; large double waxy 

 white flowers of great substance, preduced freely 

 throughout the summer. We know of no pot 

 plaut more desirable than this, the fragrance of 

 the flower Is delicious, sweet and elegant. Prlee 

 15, 25, 50 and 75 cents each. 



Grand Duke of Tuscany (new Jessamine)— A 

 magnificent ever-blooming plant with large double- 

 waxy, creamy white flowers, with the most deli- 



I/argest Wholesale and Retail House in the South.
