101 



varieties, which are offered for the first time in this country. We have 



flowered most of the following from which these descriptions are given. 



ALBA ODORATA. A dwarf and compact-growing variety with creamy 

 white flowers of delightful fragrance. 30 cts. ; Jr3.0(» ])er doz. 



CANDIDISSIMA. Neat open shrub-like habit, growth comparatively 

 dwarf, with neat small rich green ovate leaves, pure white blossoms; 

 the florets being about twice the size of Davidsoni, })ure in color 

 and fragrant. It seems to be a true hybrid of Jasminoides and 

 Davidsoni, having the characteristics of both, if pinched sufficiently 

 during the summer for winter blooming; it is a later bloomer than 

 Davidsoni. A first-class variety for florists and amateurs. 75 cts. , 

 $6.00 per doz. 



LONGIFLORA FLAM ME A. This beautiful variety is an improved 

 ^pe of B. Longiflora ; in habit fi'ee, vigorous and well branched. 

 The flower trusses are terminal, large and effective, from fifteen to 

 twenty blossoms in each ; the tube is rosy-blush, forming a very 

 elegant contrast, with the broad well-expanded, starry, bright sal- 

 mon-colored lobes ; a first-class variety. 50 cts. 



HUMBOLDTI CORYMBIFLORA 



HUMBOLDTI CORYMBIFLORA. The present variety will be 

 found the greatest acquisition yet made to this now charming tribe 

 of plants. Its free growth, large flower truss, pure snow-white color 

 and rich aromatic odor by day and night, produced at a season 

 when flowers are most vakiable'and most sought for, leaves out no 

 feature that is essential to a miscellaneous group of autumn and 

 winter-flowering conservatory plants. The splendid flowers of the 

 purest M'hite are borne on corymbs containing 8 to 10 and more; 

 tube nearly three inches in length, and measuring across the florets 

 about If inches (our own measurement), exhaling a mild orange- 

 like fragrance while in bloom. 50 cts. ; $4.50 per doz.
