CLEMATIS FLAMULA (Fragrant Virgin's 



Bower.) 



This is an old and well-known species, entirely distinct 

 from most of the above; flowers pure white, deliriously 

 fragrant. The plants attain a height of twenty feet, and 

 when trained on trellis work, and in full bloom, look like 

 a mass of snow. The odor is perceptible at a distance of 

 200 yards. Hardy. 



30 cts. each : $3.00 per doz. 



CALLA ETHIOPICA ("Lily of the Nile.") 



A fine house plant. It requires an abundance of water 

 during the growing season, and should have a period of 

 rest from May to August, by turning the pots on their sides 

 in some shady place. 



30 cts. each ; $3.00 per doz. 

 Large plants, 60 cts. each; t 6.u0 per doz. 



CAMPSIDIUM FILICIFOLIUM. 



An elegant climber, of rapid growth, for greenhouse cul- 

 ture, the leaves of which much resemble the fronds of a 

 fern in miniature, giving it an unusual graceful appearance. 

 It may be grown as a pot plaut, or trained to the rafters. 

 Very desirable. 



40 cts. each ; SLOO der doz. 



CALADrUM. 



CALADIUMS— In variety. 



We offer a superb collection of Caladiums. They assume 

 every imaginable color in their variegation of spotting, 

 veining and marbling of leaves. The cut represents 

 Argyrites, a beautiful, white-spotted variety, one of the 

 smallest growing kinds. In partial shade, in moist soil, 

 most of the varieties do well planted out in summer, but 

 their great value is for exhibition plants, for fairs, in sum- 

 mer and fall, or for ornaments for parlor or greenhouse, 

 when pot-grown. (See cut.)
