THIS beautiful variety c^ 

 Plumbago {P. Lar- 

 pentce) was planted 

 extensively on our 

 grounds the past season, 

 where it attracted great at- 

 tention from our many visi- 

 tors. It is very desirable foe 

 bedding, while single speci- 

 mens, set in mixed flower 

 beds or vases, appear im 

 lovely contrast with other 

 flowers. As will be seen from 

 our illustration, the habit of 

 growth is dense and compact, 

 about twelve inches in height, 

 and covered with exquisite 

 violet-blue-colored flowers, 

 borne in close terminal heads. 

 The foliage is very distinct, 

 finely serrated and fringin|f 

 the stems. The plants we 

 send out will be in full bloom 

 by the middle of July, and 

 will continue covered with. 

 flowers until checked by se- 

 vere frost. Price, 25 cts.eack; 

 3 for6octs.; 5 for $i. 



ACHELIA ALBA. 



Achelia Alba, Larg-e Flower- 

 ing", is now one of the most popular hardy 

 plants. As will be seen by our illustration, 

 the plants are of very compact habit, pre- 

 senting a perfect mass of lovely white 

 flowers. The blooming quality of this 

 splendid novelty is something remarkable, 

 flowering in great profusion the first Sum- 

 mer, while the second season it will bloom 

 three to five times as much; is entirely 

 hardy and will last for years ; it is one of 

 the most valuable snow-white flowers for 

 cemetery planting ; it will grow in any 

 suuation or soil, and is very valuable for 

 planting amongst shrubbery, along drives 

 and out-of-the-way places where no oflier 

 flowers will grow. It is also fine for pots or 

 boxes. Price, 20 cts. each ; 2 for 35 cts.; 

 4 for 60 cts.; 9 for ^i ; ^10 per hundred.
