EVEyiN* GLORY, OR MOON FLOWER. 



EVENING GLORY," 

 FLOWER. 



OR MOON 



(Ipomea Noctiphiton.) 

 Wc have issued many thousands of this plant in the past 

 three years, and it is doubtful if any plant we have sent 

 out has given such universal satisfaction. As a climber 

 of rapid growth to cover arbors, verandas, old decayed 

 trees or walls it has no superior. Its flowers are pure 

 white, 5 inches in diameter, moon-like, and as they expand 

 at night have a striking effect. (See exit, half natural size. > 



30 cts. each; $3.00 per doz. 



DOUBLE CAROLINA JASMINE. 



(Gelseminum Nitidum fl. pi.) 

 A beautiful half-hardy plant that is gorgeous in the 

 Southern States and will survive the winter in this lati- 

 tude, if well protected. A Southern correspondent "writes 

 of it as follows : " Our plant is a perfect mass of bright 

 yellow flowers, as fragrant as a Violet and as double as a 

 Tuberose." 



$1.00 each. 



LYGODIUM SCANDENS. 



(Japanese Climbing Fern.) 

 A climbing Fern from the East Indies. A most graceful 

 plant, growing from 1 to 50 feet, as desired. Quite as 

 easy of culture as the Smilax; although climbing when 

 supported by strings orwires.it can be used with equal 

 advantage as a drooping plant for baskets or vases ; as a 

 house plant for the parlor nothingis more easy of culture. 

 It is now preferred by many florists to Smilax for fine cut 

 flower work, being much more useful and nearly as last- 

 ing, if the older sprays are used, 



1st size, 50 cts. each ; $4.50 per doz.
