• ...New Pot Hydrangea.... 



Red "Branched. 



. This new and rare variety of Hydrangea is 

 very desirable for culture in pot, box or tub, 

 and a beautiful decorative plant for porches, 

 walks, etc., being of a stately, robust habit of 

 growth; leaves large, thick and deep green, 

 veins showing distinctly. A very prominent fea- 

 ture of this magnificent Hydrangea is its beau- 

 tiful dark-red-colored branches, which its name 

 implies, producing an attractive contrast to the 

 deep green of the foliage; flowers beautiful 

 clear pink, borne in immense panicles and prO' 

 duced in profusion during the Summer months; 

 fine plants. 



Price, 20 cts. each; 3 for 60 cts.; 6 for $1; 

 larger size, 40 cts. each. 



Hydrangea Otaska Montrosa. 



This is a grand novelty that takes first place 

 among this splendid class of decorative plants. 

 The color of bloom is intense rose, shaded white; 

 the flowers are borne in much larger clusters 

 than in the common Otaska. The plants when 

 quite small bear blooms of an enormous size, 

 which are very lasting in quality. It is a strong, 

 vigorous, bushy grower, and an exceedingly free 

 bloomer — in short, this is one of the finest nov- 

 elties in our list. 



Strong plants, 25 cts. each; 3 for 60 cts.; 

 5 for $1.

 finest decorative variety now known. It stands at the 

 head of the list. It is a beautiful variety, with large, 

 deeply divided, fan-shaped leaves, and is of the easiest 

 culture. It should be in every collection. Nothing 

 is so ornamental as a Palm, and we make the price so 

 low for this indispensable variety that it should be in- 

 cluded in every order.
