A STRIKING NOVELTY. 



CLERODENDRON FRAGRANS. 



CLERODENDRON FRAGRANS 



(FRAGRANT CLERODENDRON.) 



This meritorious new plant was offered two years ago 

 for the first time, and at once became exceedingly popu- 

 lar. We offer it this year with renewed confidence. It 

 is a native of China, and is most desirable in every way. 

 Our illustration gives an excellent idea of its great beauty. 

 The exquisite waxy white flowers are produced in won- 

 derful profusion in dense compact clusters like a Gera- 

 nium, 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 fea- 

 ture 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 ab- 

 solutely new and distinct will be highly pleased with 

 Fragrant Clerodendron. Well-rooted pot-plants, 20 cts. 

 each ; 3 for 50 cts. ; 7 for %\.

 fuse bloomer, and of the easiest cultivation. The indivi- 

 dual flowers are large and are marked in a most charm- 

 ing fashion ; color lilac pink, with centre of pure carmine, 

 which gives the flowers the appearance of the Phlox ; 

 very showy and satisfactory. Strong plants, 20 cts, each ;
