HUMULUS JAPDNICUS. 

 Japanese Hop. 



No. 5958. A very ornamental and extremely 

 fast growing climbing plant. The foliage resembles 

 in shape that of the common Hop (H. Lupulus), 

 but has more incisions, is very dense and in color 

 a lively green ; the stems and leaves are somewhat 

 Tough and hairy. A valuable feature of this new 

 climbing plant is, that it can be sown in the open 

 ground in spring, and attain a large size in a very 

 short time. Undoubtedly one of the best climbers 

 for covering verandas, trellises, etc., never suffering 

 from the heat or being destroyed by insects like so 

 many other good climbing plants, but retaining its 

 fresh color until late in the autumn.

&0EPJJA pjujWA-pojW- 



No. 6032. A charming novelty. In habit it is 

 "very dwarf and compact, with rich velvety crimson 

 maroon flowers, equal in size to those of Lobelia 

 Speciosa, thickly studded all over the plant, which 

 give it an effect that is both beautiful and unique.

PRIZE GLOXINIAS. 



No. 5865. This strain embraces the greatest

 rich shades of crimson, blue and white selfs, together

 mottled and striped.

Double Daisy. Longfellow. 



No. 5684. This variety comes true from seed. 

 The flowers are of large size, of a beautiful dark 

 rose color, and are borne profusely on long and stiff 

 stalks. It is a plant of unusual merit, and deserves 

 to be largely grown. Daisies may be easily raised 

 from seed sown in the spring, and had in flower in 

 a few weeks.
