 for garden and house culture. Ea., r2c; 3 for 30c; doz., 

 11.00. 



SOLANUMS. 



Scaforthianum

 inches high and 

 produces hundreds 

 of large bunches 

 of delicate lilac 

 flowers, brightly 

 garnished with 

 golden stamens. 

 The flowers are 

 succeeded by coral- 

 red berries. A 

 rapid growing 

 climber for house 

 or garden culture 

 and a splendid 

 bloomer.

 ing a greet wealth

 about two feet and
