New Hybrid Hibiscus. 



This splendid New Hardy Hybrid Hibiscus 

 was produced after long and careful hybridi- 

 zation of the Moschatus and Califomicus 

 types. The flowers are produced in great 

 profusion; they are somewhat cup-shaped and 

 of immense size, frequently measuring 6 to 8 

 inches in diameter. The colors range from pure 

 white through all shades of blush and pink to 

 bright rosy crimson. They bloom during July 

 and August, and continue in bloom a long 

 time ; the plants are perfectly hardy, growing 

 from the root every Spring and forming large 

 clumps 3 to 4 feet high, and nearly as wide. 

 IS cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts. Larger, 20 cts.; 

 3 for 50 cts. 



New Hybrid Hibiscus Seed. 



The New Hybrid Hibiscus described above 

 can be easily raised from seed ; most of the 

 seedlings bloom the first season and make fine, 

 showy clumps the second year. The seed we 

 offer was saved from our own plants the past 

 season, and includes all colors. Price, per 

 pkt, 10 cts.; 3 pkts., 25 cts.; 7 pkts., 50 cts.; 



NEW HYBRID HIBISCUS. 



Platycodon Grandiflora. 



We highly recommend these splendid plants from Japan, which are 

 of dwarf, compact habit of growth; growing to a height of 3 feet, 

 and producing throughout the Summer months great numbers of star- 

 shaped flowers, which bear a striking resemblance to Gladiolus blooms. 

 These superb plants are perfectly hardy, increase in size and become 

 more floriferous with age and are sure to attract great attention; 

 should be in every collection. We can now supply fine strong roots 

 that will bloom the present season.

A GROUP OF GERMAN IRIS. 



This, the Japanese type, is the grandest of all Iris. It is entirely 

 hardy and lasts for years, increasing in size and beauty. A clump

 close, upright and stately.

German Iris. 



We have a fine collection of German Iris. They are a splendid 

 class of hardy perennials, needing no protection in Winter and 

 unsurpassed for the lawn or shrubbery borders. The clumps grow 

 rapidly, and present a neat, cheerful and bright appearance. Our 

 illustration shows the flowers, which are of superb beauty ; the 

 fragrance is delightful— a rich, spicy odor, and adds much to the 

 attractiveness of these handsome plants.
