CLERODENDRON FRAGRANS. 



Since we first offered this meritorious new plant, three 

 years ago, the demand for it has been greater than the 

 supply. It is one of the most popular plants in our 

 collection, because it is one of the best. We are glad 

 to announce that we have a fine stock for this season's 

 trade, consisting of several thousand plants. Our illus- 

 tration gives an excellent idea of its great beauty. The 

 exquisite waxy white flowers are produced in wonderful 

 profusion in dense compact clusters like a Geranium, 

 and their fragrance is simply delicious; fully as sweet 

 as a Gardenia or Jessamine. A single bunch could 

 well form a bouquet in itself. A no less important fea- 

 ture, that will enhance its value for amateur culture, is 

 its ease of growth in pots or open ground. It is a dwarf 

 sturdy grower, and is almost hardy. But little more is 

 needed to make it one of the most valuable plants of 

 recent introduction. Those who desire something ab- 

 solutely new, distinct and beautiful, will be highly 

 pleased with Fragrant Clerodendron. Well -rooted 

 pot plants, 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50 cts.; 7 for $1. 



A HAGNIFICENT 

 NEW RED 

 HARDY CLEMATIS. 



Madame .*. Edouard .*. Andre. 



This is a magnificent new variety, entirely dis- 

 tinct, perfectly hardy and the nearest approach to 

 a bright red ever sent out. It is a strong, vigorous 

 grower, being an offspring of the popular Jackmanii, 

 which it resembles in vigorous growth, freedom of 

 bloom, shape and size and flower. The flowers are 

 large, 4 to 5 inches across, and in color are a beau- 

 tiful deep carmine red, a novel and most pleasing 

 shade, entirely different from all other varieties. 

 This novelty has been exceedingly scarce, and it 

 affords us pleasure that we now have a large stock 

 of strong two-year-old plants, that are sure to give 

 satisfaction. We make the price low. Price, 50 

 cts. each. 



BOUVARDIAS. 



A beautiful and most useful class of plants, so 

 well known that we will dispense with lengthy de- 

 scriptions. They are among the most important 

 plants cultivated for Winter flowers, and are also 

 splendid for open-ground culture, blooming from 

 July until frost. The popular demand for them led 

 us to propagate the three most distinct colors, which 

 we offer in large blooming plants. 



White 20 cts. each. 



Scarlet 20 cts. each. 



Pink 20 cts. each. 



Set of 3 for so cts.

Dear Sirs:— The bulbs and plants duly received. 

 Many thanks for extras sent. I have been a pur- 

 chaser of your Roses and Shrubs for the last twelve 

 vears, and can say I have found them better than any 

 others, although I have bought of several other firms. 

 I am, yours sincerely, 



Mrs. a. S. Miller. 



NEW RED CLEMATIS, MADAME EDOUARD ANDRE.
