^^ *0 our minds the Passiflora is one of the prettiest, most useful and most satisfactory of 

 f j"X Climbing Vines. It is easy to get along with, a rapid grower, a free and continuous bloomer, 

 Vi^ producing flowers of remarkable beauty in great profusion throughout the entire growing 

 season. We know of no reason why it should not become one of the most popular vines we 

 have. Last year our stock was inadequate to meet the demand, and many of our customers were 

 disappointed thereby. This year we have prepared to meet every demand, and no apprehension 

 need be felt in this direction. We have over twenty-five thousand strong, splendidly rooted 

 plants. The genuine stock of Passiflora is under our absolute control and cannot be offered elsewhere. 

 We have had varieties recommended to us as being hardy, but, until the advent of this superb 

 variety, none have shown themselves to be entitled to that distinction. It is by all odds the best 

 Passiflora in cultivation. Were it unworthy of our recommendation we would not give it the 

 prominence of a colored-plate illustration. If you want one of the best of all hardy climbers, 

 take our advice. Plant Passiflora America. 



America will prove a revelation to all who plant it. Alongside of the ordinary varieties, it 

 is head and shoulders above them. The flowers are of extraordinary size, 4 inches across, and in 

 color are red, white and blue— a. gorgeous blending of our national colors. Our colored-plate 

 illustration was painted from nature and gives an idea of its striking beauty. It does what no 

 other passion flower unit do —blooms the flrst year^ producing its lovely flowers throughout the 

 entire growing season. Remarkably free flowering and a strong, rapid climber with most attrac- 

 tive foliage. It is perfectly hardy, and, once planted, it grows more beautiful year after year. It 

 is a grand novelty, and without it you will miss a genuine treat.

A STRIKING 

 NOVELTY III 



{ 



Clerodendron Fragrans 



(Fragrant Clerodendron). 



CLERODENDRON FRAORANS. 



Since we first offered this meritorious new plant, the 

 demand for it has been greater than the supply. It 

 is one of the most popular plants in our collection , 

 because it is one of the best. We are glad to an- 

 nounce that we have a fine stock for this season's 

 trade, consisting of several thousand plants. Our 

 illustration gives an excellent idea of its great beauty. 

 The exquisite waxy-white flowers are produced in 

 wonderful profusion in dense compact clusters like a 

 Geranium, and their fragrance is simply delicious; 

 /u/ly as sweet as a Gardenia or Jessamine. A single 

 bunch could well form a bouquet in itself. A no 

 less important feature, that will enhance its value for 

 amateur culture, is its ease of growth in pots or open 

 ground. It is a dwarf sturdy grower, and is almost 

 hardy. But little more is needed to make it one of 

 the most valuable plants of recent introduction. Those 

 who desire something absolutely new, distinct and 

 beautiful, will be highly pleased w'ith Fragrant Clero- 

 dendron. Strong, well-rooted 3-inch pot plants, 20 

 Cts. each ; 3 for 50 cts.; 7 for $1.
