Miscellaneous Plants and Vines. 



ON pages 71 to 78 inclusive are offered the very choicest plants and vines in cultivation. Many 

 of them are new and rare, while others are tried and true favorites. We offer none but those 

 that will thrive with ordinary cultivation and give absolute satisfaction to all who plant them. 



A Magnificent New Red Clematis. 



IDOUARD ANDRE. 



Strobilanthes Dyerianus, 



STROBILANTHES DYERIANUS. 



A new house plant sent 

 out by Messrs. F. Sander 

 & Co., of England, at $2, 

 each, and to which was 

 awarded the Gold Medal 

 offered by the King of 

 Belgium at the Ghent Ex- 

 hibition. It forms a com- 

 pact bush 18 inches high, 

 with leaves 6 to 9 inches 

 long. 3 or 4 inches wide, 

 and of the most intense 

 metallic purple color, 

 shading into light rose with 

 alight green margin, a com- 

 bination unapproached by 

 any other plant ; it easily 

 surpasses a Coleus or Be- 

 gonia for a novel effect. 

 The flowers are a lovely 

 violet- blue. 15 cts. each; 

 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for ^i. 



Madame Edouard Andre. 



This is a magnificent new variety, entirely dis- 

 tinct, and the nearest approach to a bright red ever 

 sent out. It is a strong, vigorous grower, being an 

 offspring of the popular Jackmanii, which it resem- 

 bles in vigorous growth, freedom of bloom, shape 

 and size and flower. The flowers are large, 4 to 5 

 inches across, and in color are a beautiful deep car- 

 mine red, a novel and most pleasing shade, entirely 

 different from all other varieties. This novelty has 

 been exceedingly scarce, and it affords us pleasure 

 that we now have a large stock of strong two-year- 

 old plants, that are sure to give satisfaction. ' We 

 make the price low. Price, 60 cts. each. 



Cissus Discolor. 



No vine in our collection is more entitled to be 

 called superbly beautiful than is this. It is an old 

 favorite, but we doubt if many of our customers of 

 the present time are acquainted with it. We cannot 

 urge too strongly that all give it a trial. The foliage 

 is large, handsomely mottled and marbled, the under 

 side of which, together with the stems, is deep red. 

 making a most effective and striking contrast. For 

 hanging baskets it cannot be equaled. It is also 

 splendid for pots and vases. Strong plants, 10 cts.. 

 each ; 6 for 50 cts.; 12 for %\. 



nutley, n. j. 

 The Dingee & Conard Company : 



In behalf of my wife I beg to acknowledge receipt 

 of our order for Roses, which came promptly and to 

 grand condition. Mrs. Hoeber has had in years past 

 much satisfaction in dealing with your house, and 

 success with your plants, and it is therefore needless 

 to add it will always give us great pleasure to recom- 

 mend you to our friends. 



Yours truly, 



Arthur Hoeber. 



Solan um Rantonetti. 



THE TRUE BLUE SOLANUM. 



For this new Solanum we are indebted to our friend, Mr. 

 Bruant, of France, a guarantee of its value. It is to be re- 

 gretted that S. Seaforth- 

 ianum should have been 

 called Blue Solanum, 

 when really a lavender 

 color, while our plant is 

 of the very deepest and 

 clearest blue, which is 

 brought out more vivid- 

 ly by a yellow centre. It 

 is not a climber, but 

 forms a neat little bush 



2 feet high, which is cov- 

 ered with bloom during 

 the entire Summer, and 

 almost until Christmas. 

 Sure to become popular 

 as soon as known, being 

 as easy to grow and 

 bloom as a Geranium, in 

 pots or in the garden. 

 Fine plants, 20 cts. each ; --- 



3 for 50 cts.
