COLLECTION OF HARDY VINES { 



CLIMBING ROSE.— Seven Sisters. One of the 



best varieties of liardy climbing Roses; a very rapid 

 grower, having good, full foliage. As a free bloomer 

 ft stands among the leaders. It is just the Rose to 

 train up a veranda, where its masses of rich bloom 

 will be best observed and admired. 

 CHINESE MATRIMONY VINE.— It is hardy every- 

 where. As a vine for permanent effect, for shad- 

 ing a sunny window, covering an arbor or veranda, 

 and for perfect hardiness cannot be excelled. Pale 

 purple flowers and scarlet berries are constantly 

 appearing from early Spring until late in the Fall. 

 Do not confound them with the old sort. 



HONEYSUCKLE.— Chinese Evergreen. There 

 is no flower more delicately beautiful than the 

 Honeysuckle. This choice variety is very easy of 

 cultivation and blooms nearly continuously 

 throughout the season. Very fragrant with a 

 variety of colors— buff", yellow and white. 



HARDY CINNAMON VINE.-A pretty, hardy vine, 

 with edible roots and neat, glossy, cordate foliage. 

 In mid-summer it bears clusters of tiny, but exceed- 

 ingly fragrant flowers, with an odor like cinna- 

 mon. A very pretty vine to train over a small 

 trellis, or around a window. Strong roots, to 

 bloom this Summer.

FOUR SUPERB CARNATIONS 



being cut. 



FLORA HILL. — Unques- 

 tionably the grandest 

 white Carnation to date. 

 Very free in bloom. Flow- 

 ers of enormous size, of 

 nice rounded form, high- 

 ly clove-scented and all 

 borne on very long stems. 

 P O R'T I A. — A favorite 

 every where, for it blooms 

 freely and is a desirable 

 shade of bright scarlet. 

 The flowers are of good 

 size and substance, keep- 

 ing for a long time after 

 One of our most valuable varieties. 



MRS. THOMAS LAWSON.-No plant of whatever 

 kind has ever received so much description and 

 free advertising by the newspapprs of the whole 

 country as this sensational Carnation. It was sold 

 for $30,000. The size is enormous, of a true pink 

 color. Altogether a twentieth century Carnation. 

 Everything has been claimed for it, and our own 

 opinion is that it will justify the claim. 



ELDORADO.— A yellow of free blooming habit: 

 strong, vigorous plants, erect stems, finely formed 

 flower of fair size, very free. Petals edged 

 with a narrow band of light pink; almost a 

 Picotte in marking. The flower retains its yellow 

 color under artificial light, unlike most yellow 

 varieties.

FOUR CHOICE CANNAS 



MADAME CROZY.— The flowers of this well-known 

 and very popular variety are of a dazzling crimson 

 scarlet, bordered with bright golden-yellow, and 

 produced in the greatest profusion on large 

 branching stems the entire Summer, in large 

 trusses set well above the foliage. It can be had 

 in bloom the year round, and is admirably adapted 

 to pot culture. 



MADAME BERAT.— This variety is justly one of the 

 great favorites. It is a first-class bedder and its 

 color, being in the lighter pink shades, adds very 

 much to the effective blending of colors in a bed. 

 Large finely shaped blooms and rich foliage. 



QUEEN CHARLOTTE.— New and beautiful. "A 



perfect symphony of crimson and gold." Magnifi- 

 cent large flower of the most perfect form, rich 

 scarlet crimson, distinct golden band around each 

 petal. Very large trusses of bloom, nine to ten 

 inches in height, from fifty to sixty buds and flowers 

 on a single truss, flowers nearly five inches across. 

 ALPHONSE BOUVIER.— It begins to bloom very 

 early, and is one continuous mass of crimson the 

 entire season. The tins of the shoots are surrounded 

 by immense clusters of bright crimson flowers of 

 the very largest size, and nothing can excel their 

 brilliancv.

 Sinensis." The flowers are double and from four to 

 five inches in diameter, of a charming rich, clear

 >offered. The color is an entirely new and beautiful 

 shade, and it blooms abundantly and continuously

MARGUEFcITE, DAISY 



This is one of the finest new plants that has ever 

 been introduced. Nothing can be imagined that is 

 finer. All know the old varieties of Paris Daisies, 

 how beautiful and much sought after for decorations

 and will produce ten blooms to the old variety's one.

 vation. The plant is a tall grower, branching like a 

 tree. The leaves are dark glossy green, with veins of 

 dark crimson, giving the foliage a rich, ornamental 

 appearance. The flowers are of enormous size, a 

 single flower measuring three and a half inches 

 across, sepals bright scarlet, with rich, violet purple 

 corollas, very double.

 It is a very dark, deep,- rich velvety maroon. An 

 excellent bedder and when combined with other 

 colors in a bed adds a remarkable richness to the 

 whole efi'ect. As a pot plant it is perfection and 

 must find its wav into every collection.
