A magnificent Japanese 
climber, with foliage much larger 
and fuller than that of T. j^randi- 
flora, producing at the end of 
every branch a raceme of l.irge, 
brilliant, trumpet-shaped flowers 
of crimson-scarlet, lighted with 
orange. As many as 65 buds 
and flowers have been counted in 
a cluster. It thrives well and 
blooms profusely in any rich soil 
and is of strong and rapid growth, 
an excellent greenhouse climber, 
but thoroughly hardy when 
grown outdoors. It can also be 
grown as a pot-plant and trained 
to various forms. We now offer 
this superb Tecoma for the first 
time, and have a stock of well- 
grown plants. See illustration

Lychnis flos cuculi plenissima semperflorens. 
This is a new variety of Lychnis, having many excellent qualities. Dr. I-. Wittmach, of Berlin, says of this new 
Lychnis : " It is a variety which defies all description as regards rich bloom and the beauty of the delicate rose-colored 
flowers." It has been shown and greatly admired at various European exhibitions. The plant has also proved to be 
an excellent winter bloomer ; plants with half-developed buds put into the house in late fall can be brought into bloom 
in four weeks, in a moderately warm house. The plant is perfectly hardy, grows very easily and rapidly, and comes in 
bloom when quite small, forming with its many .stalks bushes twelve to eighteen inches high. The blossom resembles 
a beautiful feather ball of fresh rose color. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.
