" Almost every one has either 

 read or heard of the famous 

 Southern Yellow Jessamine, a 

 pot-grown plant of which is 

 here shown. Tourists go into 

 ecstasies over it, and carefully 

 press sprays of the exquisite 

 blooms to carry to their North- 

 ern homes as mementoes of a 

 Winter spent in 'The Land of 

 Flowers.' There is not an easier 

 grown or more beautiful climber 

 in cultivation for the window, 

 succeeding in almost any situa- 

 tion. It is quick growing, has 

 beautiful shining evergreen 

 foliage, and completely loads 

 itself with its beautiful golden- 

 yellow, exquisitely sweet-scent- 

 ed, funnel-shaped flowers. We 

 have seen a spray eight inches 

 long containing over forty buds 

 and open flowers. A well-grown 

 vine in full bloom is a sight 

 never to be forgotten, and be- 

 yond the power of pen to describe. As a trellis plant for 

 the window, nothing can be more desirable, as it flowers in 

 February and March — when flowers are so scarce — begins 

 blooming very young and is always ornamental." Fine pot- 

 grown plants, sure to live and grow rapidly, only 20 cts. each ; 

 3 for 50 cents. 



The Manittia Yihe. 



This lovely vine thrives for all with small care ; grown in 

 the open ground during Summer it will attain a good height, 

 branching freely, while in the house or conservatory it will 

 train beautifully, presenting lovely wreaths and garlands of 

 brilliant scarlet and orange-colored flowers, interspersed with 

 clean, bright, oblong foliage. 25 cts. each ; 3 for 60 cts. 



{See illustration on Front Cover page.') 



This valuable and distinct variety of the Orange family is 

 a dwarf, compact grower, with glossy deep green foliage, 

 which has a decided odor of the Orange trees of Florida, and 

 is exceedingly floriferous, producing a wonderful profusion 

 of pure white flowers of the most delicious fragrance, iden- 

 tical with the much-sought-for blooms of Southern Orange 

 groves. Otaheite fruits immediately after flowering, bearing 

 fruit about one-half the size of the ordinary Orange, retaining 

 in a marked degree their sweetness. 



This unique Orange cannot be equaled as a Winter-bloom- 

 ing pot plant for house culture. We have grown a large 

 stock of clean, vigorous plants of this beautiful Orange, and 

 commend it to our friends as a novelty of sterling worth and 

 merit. 



Fine, strong 1 plants, 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50 cts. 

 Extra large plants, 30 cts. each ; 2 for 50 cts. 



11IA. 



This beautiful annual (see cut) is incomparably superior in habit to the 

 old Torenia Fonrnieri. Instead of a straggling growth, each plant forms 

 a compact, upright little bush, as shown in the illustration, completely 

 covered with a mass of bloom ; indeed, its profusion of bloom is most 

 remarkable. It is a splendid plant for house culture. The exquisite 

 flowers are winged-cup shaped, and the color clear lavender-blue, spotted 

 intense rich purple, with yellow throat. It is very easily grown, and its 

 fine, regular habit and rare beauty make it 

 equally attractive for pots or baskets. 15 cts. 

 each ; 4 for 50 cts.

rORENIA. 



A very graceful climber, possessing the 

 rare qualities of delicate and tolerably dense 

 foliage and vining habit, admirably adapting 

 it to climbing or drooping, as may be re- 

 quired. For using as a green with cut flowers 

 it has no equal, its hard texture enabling it 

 to keep for several davs without wilting after 

 being cut. It is also fine as a parlor or win- 

 dow plant. 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.
