HYDRANGEAS. Beautiful blooming 

 plant, adapted rather to shady location. 

 The large clusters of flowers resemble the 

 snow ball, only being much larger. 



Otaksa — A very beutiful variety from 

 Japan, giving large clusters of bluish pink 

 flowers in great abundance through the 

 season ; the flowers are very persistent, last- 

 ing two or three months. 



Thomas Hogg — This is the finest of all 

 hydrangeas. It is a more free and abun- 

 dant bloomer than any other; for the 

 florists and all decorative purposes it will 

 be invaluable. The flowers are all the 

 purest white, of very fine texture, and con- 

 tinue in flower for a great length of time; 

 quite hardy in open ground. 



Monstrosa — Pinkish white, the largest 

 flower of all. Grand. 



Prices, 35c, 50c. and $1.00 each. 



Hibiscus Sinesis. 



HIBISCUS SINENSIS. This plant rivals 

 the geranium in popularity. A very good 

 way to make them bloom freely and facili- 

 tate the lifting in fall is to transplant each 

 plant into a pot two or three sizes larger 

 than the one it has grown in, then plunge 

 the pot altogether into the ground, the soil 

 to cover over the surface two inches. Then 

 in the fall the plant can be lifted without 

 injury, and being transplanted again, and 

 kept in a shady, cool place until fully re- 



covered, it will, in a warm sunny window, 

 in a warm room, bloom constantly. We can 

 supply them in either colors of crimson, 

 red, yellow and salmon. Price, ioc. each ; 

 large plants 15, 25. 50 and 75 cents each. 



HOYA CARNOSA. (Wax Plant.) Has 

 thick, fleshy leaves, growing moderately 

 fast and bearing umbels of beautiful flesh 

 colored flowers, from which are exuded 

 large drops of honey like liquid. One of 

 the best plants for house culture, as it 

 stands the extremes of heat and cold better 

 than most plants, and is not easily injured 

 by neglect; 25c, 35c, 50c. and $1.00. 



Water Hyacinth 



WATER HYACINTHS. Easily grown; 

 floats on water by means of curious inflated 

 leaves ; a mass of feathery blue roots, 

 growing downward into the water. 



The flowers are as large as a silver 

 dollar, and are borne on spikes 6 to 8 

 inches long, resembling hyacinths, and are 

 as handsome as an orchid ; of a beautiful 

 sparkling, rosy-lilac color. Prices, single 

 plant by mail, 20c. ; by express, 4 for 50c. ; 

 9 for $1.00, or $1.25 per dozen; $5.00 per 

 100. 



JASMINS. 



Jasminum Grandiflorum — This is an 

 old favorite and the most satisfactory for 

 general culture of all the Jasmines. It 

 flowers nearly the whole season and is es- 



I/awn Sprinklers, a complete line.
