""See Colored Plate in this Catalogue. 



A most interesting 

 and well known or- 

 der of climbers, bear- 

 ing singularly beau- 

 tiful flowers. They 

 are the pride of South 

 America and West 

 Indies, where the 

 woods are filled with 

 the species, which 

 climb about from tree 

 to tree, bearing flow- 

 ers of striking beauty. 

 VVe have selected two 

 varieties which seem 

 best adapted to our 

 climate, being more 

 hardy than many 

 other sorts. 



Passion Flower. 



Passiflora, caerulea, h^ardy, deciduous climber, with 

 blue and white flowers of remarkable beauty. 

 It is hardy enough to withstand our winters, if 

 the roots are protected with straw, leaves, or 

 mulch 10 



Disemma coccinea, magnificent green-house climb- 

 er, with brilliant scarlet blossoms in the form 

 of a double coronet or crown. Is rather ten- 

 der, but can be planted out after danger of 

 frost is over ; must be sheltered or protected 

 from frost in autumn or winter 20 



E»EAS(I^atliyrus). 



A perennial climber, producing a long succession of 

 s\hite, rose, and purple blossoms, in clusters of eight or 

 ten each. Suitable for trellises, arbors, etc. Young 

 plants flower the second year freely, but the third and 

 fourth year they produce an abundance of foliage and 

 bloom. They die down every year, and start again in 

 spring. Hardy perennial ; ten feet high. 



Lathyrus, latifolius, rose 10 



" white 15 



■' mixed perennial 15 



'■ odoratus (see Sweet Pcai. 



(Oriianiental OravS«»i. 



A species of hardy grass, useful only for the forma- 

 tion of winter bouquets. The heads are barbed and 

 feathery, and present a beautiful appearance when 



6 



mixed with Gomphrenas and other immortelles. Is per- 

 fectly hardy, and will grow in any common soil. 

 Pannisetum, longistylum, hardy, perennial, orna- 

 mental grass ; two feet high 5 



These handsome, herbaceous plants are deservedly 

 growing in favor for bedding purposes. The flowers are 

 bell shaped, in racemes or spikes, and are constantly 

 produced during the whole season. No one who has 

 ever seen their beauty will willingly do without them. 

 They are hardj' perennials, and will live out of doors 

 with a little protection. The seed should be sown in 

 open border, covered very lightly, and the plants trans- 

 planted when four inches high. 



Pentstemon. 

 Pentstemon, Hartwegi, one of the freest blooming 

 kinds, and highly recommended; flowers brilli- 

 ant scarlet, and very striking. Two feet high . . 10 



'i Murrayanu.s, one of the best ; a single spike 

 has been known to produce upwards of fifty 

 blossoms ; flowers rich, shining scarlet ; three 

 feet high 10 



" choice named varieties, seed saved from col- 

 lection of newest varieties, and cannot fail to 

 give great satisfaction 10
