PASSION FLOWER. ( Passiflora Incarnala.) 

 This is the Rainbow or May Apple Passion Flower. It is a 

 magnificent hardy ornamental trailing or climbing plant. In 

 winters of especial severity it will die down to the ground, but 

 will shoot up in the spring and put forth blossoms in a few 

 weeks. I can also offer seed of this remarkable and valuable 

 hardy passion liower. See index. The fruit is claimed by the 

 botanists to be edible, but is not eaten in North America, so far 

 as I am aware, the plant being grown for its highly peculiar and 

 beautiful Uowers. Good strong roots, 20 cts. each; 8 for 50 cts. 



SUMMER FLOWERING OXALIS. 



Unexcelled for borders, margins and baskets. For margins 

 set the bulbs about three inches apart, and the foliage will pro- 

 duce on unbroken row, richly adorned with flowers, the bloom 

 lasting through a long season. In the autumn the bulbs (which 

 multiply rapidly) can be lifted and stored i-> drycellarfor winter.
