SWEET-SCENTED CALLA. 



A great advance has indeed been made when 

 we can enjoy the beautiful Calla with a sweet 

 fragrance of its own. This grand novelty, 

 therefore, is a very valuable one. The plant 

 is of medium size, very compact in growth 

 with abundant, lustrous, dark green foliage, 

 and blooms with the greatest profusion, being 

 seldom without flowers. The flowers are of 

 large size, of the same waxen white and form 

 of the old Calla ^fhiopica, and with its 

 greatest charm of all, a sweet, lasting fra- 

 grance, delicate but delightful, a mingling of 

 fragance of Lilies or Violets. An indispensa- 

 ble pot plant and of the greatest possible value 

 for cutting. Everyone should possess one or 

 more plants of this sweet-scented flower. Ea., 

 30c; 3 for 75c. 



Begonia^ Gloire de Lorraine. 



For pot culture there is no Begonia finer than this 



new variety, whether it be for ornament in the house 

 or piazza during summer or for winter blooming. The 

 profusion and continuance of its bloom is truly won- 

 derful, and the flowers hang or endure for a long time. 

 The flowers are of a beautiful, bright salmon-pink, 

 large and round aad open flat, and the whole effect 

 of the plant is highly decorative. When grown for 

 winter flowering it begins to bloom in October and 

 continues until March. Nice, well-established plants, 

 ea„ 40c; 8 for 11.00.

 EIMINENS.

 eighteen inches, anil 

 producing a vast 

 amount of bloom; 

 every shoot being

 scarlet flowers, tip- 

 ped with gold and 

 green, and forming 

 massive spikes of 

 brilliant color. The

 cutting and lemain 

 fresh and in good 

 condition for a long 

 birae. It will be found a very satisf actor v show 

 plant, both in the border and in pots. Ea.", 15c; 3 

 for 40c. 



DEUTZIA LEMOINEI, 



Probably the most valuable and important new 

 hardy flowering shrub that has been ofi'ered for many 

 years, being finer than the popular Deutzia gracilis. 

 The flowers are nearly three times as large as Deutzia 

 gracilis, and are borne in broad, dense clustei ed heads 

 of from 20 to 30 flowers in each, opening very full, 

 pure snowy white, and forming massive beautiful 

 bouquets. It is perfectly hardy and a good grower.
