Hedysarum 

 Multijugum, 



Violet Bush 



Honeysuckle. 



This handsome hardy 

 shrub, introduced from 

 Montgolia through the 

 Cambridge Botanic Gar- 

 dens, has proved of such 

 great value as to entitle 

 It to a place in ail gar- 

 dens and home grounds. 

 It forms a graceful bush 

 from three to five feet 

 high, branching close to 

 the ground, with dense, 

 small, delicate foliage. 

 The flowers are very- 

 beautiful, deep violet 

 with yellow blotches 

 upon the inner surface 

 and borne thickly in 

 long sprays of from 

 twelve to eighteen inch- 

 es. A grand acquisi- 

 tion. Ea., 20c: 3 for 

 50c. 



IMPERIAL JAPANESE IRIS. 



The marvelous beauty of the Japan Iris is 

 well-known, but in the new varieties here of- 

 fered will be found bloom so magnificent as to 

 surnass all that has ever gone before. As far 

 as possible, the Japanese retain the choicest of 

 their flowers in their own country, but some 

 eight or nine years ago I was so fortunate as 

 to secure the entire collection of a fi'iend, who 

 was at the time Professor of Horticulture in 

 the Imperial College of Japan. I have grown 

 and propagated them until I have now a suffi- 

 cient stock to off'er them. I have many varie- 

 ties, but name here only a few of the finest. 

 The richness of color, exquisite forms and 

 markings of the flowers, added to their great 

 size, and the wonderful profusion with which 

 they are produced is such as to render them 

 simply marvelous, and any attempt to describe 

 their beauty must prove a complete failure. 

 I therefore simply give, in a few words, the 

 general make-up of the different varieties. 



A. L. Sherwood. Three petals; purple veined 

 with white, yellow at base of petals; large. 



Elsie Iford. Six petals; white, striped and 

 pencilled throughout with violet-blue. 



H. G. Corney. Six petals; rosy-lilac, white 

 at base of petals running into golden-yellow. 

 Very large, beautifully shaded. 



Wrs. Georgeson. Outer petals pearly white, veined blue, inner 

 petals deep blue. 

 Prof. Georgeson. Of mammoth size, pure, rich purple-plum color. 

 R. C. Campbell. Three petals; self -colore ddeep bluish-plum, 

 base lemon-yellow. 



Thos. H. Spauldingr. Six petals; white veined and broadly mar- 

 gined with violet, deep yellow band at base. 



Ea., 20c; 3 for 50c. A set, one each of the seven varieties, for 

 only $1.25. 



WEEPING LANTANA. 



The grace and beauty of this delightful plant baffles description. 

 Its graceful drooping or trailing habit renders it exceptionally 

 desirable for hanging baskets, vases or tubs, but when bedded out 

 in numbers it presents a mass of bloom from early summer until 

 late inautumn that is exceedingly beautiful, trailing all over the 

 ground and covering it with its lovely dark green foliage and 

 magnificent bloom. The flowers are of a clear rosy-lilac, borne 

 in clusters at each leaf in wonderful profusion. It forms a splendid specimen plant when potted for orna- 

 Doent about the porch or piazza, and is excellent also for blooming indoors^ in winter. Ea., 10c; 3 for 25c.
