A GENUINE EVER-BLOOMING FUCHSIA. 

 Fine 3-inch-pot plants, 10 cts. each. 



Beyond doubt, everything considered, this splendid variety 

 is tae best and most satisfactory Fuchsia in cuhivation. We 

 have tested it in every way, and, while it is not as new as 

 some other varieties, it is better. It is a genuine ever- 

 'blooming' Fuchsia. It grows vigorously, compact and erect 

 and blooms all the time. As a Winter-blooming pot plant 

 there is not another plant better. The fine, large, star-shaped 

 flowers are produced in the greatest profusion, couimencing 

 to bloom when the plants are hardly more than cuttings and 

 continuing all the time. The flowers droop beautifully ; they 

 are large, elegantly shaped and of good substance ; the calyx 

 is rosy carmine and the corolla brilliant carmine, a lovely 

 combination. This variety is of strong constitution and easily 

 grown. We have prepared a fine stock of large, three-inch- 

 pot plants in bloom, and while they last will sell them at 



10 cts. each ; 3 for 25 cts. ; 6 for 50 cts. ; 12 for $1. 

 Two or three plants will make a truly beautiful sight. 



Fuchsia Phenomenal. 



The finest and freest blooming double large flowering 

 Fuchsia in cultivation. The flowers are enormous, and are 

 borne with great freedom. Short tubes and sepals of bright 

 crimson color; corolla bright violet purple; very free and 

 double. A splendid Winter-blooming Fuchsia and one that 

 will give excellent satisfaction. Fine plants, 15c. ; 4 for 50c. 



Clerodendron Balfouri. 



A BEAUTIFUL WINTER-BLOOMING VINE. 



We can safely recommend this grand Clerodendron as one 

 of the most satisfactory plants for window culture now known. 

 It is a vigorotis, rapid and healthy grower, and produces an 

 abundance of blooms, which are bright crimson surrounded 

 by pearly-white petals, producing a striking contrast against 

 the dark-green foliage. It can be used for a fine specimen 

 pot plant, and can be grown to fine form by cutting off" the 

 ends of the growing shoots. A partially shaded position is 

 conducive to rapid growth. Good strong plants from three- 

 inch pots, 20 cts. each, postpaid; extra-large plants, by 

 Express on/j, 40 cts. each. 



HEDYCHIUM CORONARIUM. 



Hedychium Coronarium. 



(MYROSMA CANNAEFOLIA.) 



This is a South American member of the Canna family, 

 bearing entirely distinct flowers, which are sweeter than 

 Orange blossoms, and in color the purest possible white. The 

 flowers are heavy in texture like an Eucharis, but infinitely 

 more fragrant, so much so, that a single flower will fill a 

 whole greenhouse with its delicious orange-like fragrance. 

 Our illustration conveys a good idea of the habit of growth 

 and form of flowers. The flowers are produced freely, and 

 it has been said continuously ; with us it blooms once a year, 

 the plants remaining in bloom from four to six weeks. This 

 is a grand flower, and one that will delight all with its deli- 

 ciously fragrant flowers. Pot plants, 25 cts. each ; 3 for 60 

 cts.; 5 for^i. 



•wainsonia 



Albi 



A beautiful new ever- blooming plant for house culture, 

 with pure white flowers, produced in sprays of from twelve 

 to twenty flowers each, the individual blooms strongly re- 

 sembling a Sweet Pea. As a decorative plant it cannot be 

 superseded for the win- 

 dow or conservatory; 

 we know of nothing 

 that will give as much 

 satisfaction as the 

 Swainsonia. Its easy 

 culture, growing in al- 

 most any light posi- 

 tion, its freedom of 

 bloom, rarely ever 

 being out of bloom, 

 and the grace and 

 beauty of the flower 

 and entire plant, will 

 undoubtedly make 

 this one of the most 

 popular plants in culti- 

 vation. Price, fine, 

 strong, three-inch pot 

 plants, for immediate 

 blooming, 20 cts. each; 

 3 for 50 cts.; 7 for^i.
