THE DINGEE & CONARD COMPANY'S 



A STRIKING NOVELTY. 



Clerodendron 



Fragrans. 



(Fragrant Clerodendron.) 



It causes us no little pleasure to be able to offer for the 

 first time this meritorious new plant. It is a native of 

 China, and is most desirable in every way. Our illustra- 

 tion gives an excellent idea of its great beauty. The ex- 

 quisite waxy white flowers are produced in wonderful 

 profusion in dense compact clusters like a Geranium, and 

 their fragrance is simply delicious; fully 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. It 

 will surely attain widespread popularity. Those who 

 desire something absolutely new and distinct will be 

 highly pleased with Fragrant Clerodendron. Well-rooted 

 pot-plants, 30 cts. each ; 3 for 80 cts. 



Anemone. 



Japonica. — A lovely variety noted for the grace and 

 beauty of its flowers, which are produced on long slender 

 stems ; color shining rose. Very desirable. Pot plants, 

 25 cts. each. 



Japonica Alba. — The daintiness of the flowers of 

 this variety is inimitable. Color purest white, large yellow 

 disk, resembling a Water Lily. Blooms in late Fall. 

 Splendid for bouquet work. Pot plants, 25 cts. each.

New Perpetual=blooming Sweet Violets. 



These favorite plants continue in large demand ; unsurpassed for Winter culture indoors and extremely 

 desirable and attractive when grown in open ground. The modest beauty and delicate fragrance of their

 Hardy Double Russian), particularly in sheltered situations, but should have a light covering of leaves or 

 garden litter in Winter. Easily grown ; free and constant bloomers.

 White ; equally desirable for pot culture and open ground.

 ducing in the greatest abundance lovely 

 deep blue flowers, very double, of delicious

 quisition. All who plant it will be pleased
