Splendens (Scarlet Sage). Flower 
spikes of the most brilliant scarlet, bloom- 
ing from the latter part of summer until cut 
down by frost, and making a superb dis- 
play, especially when planted in masses." 
Splendens Variegata. Flowers white 
and red, very evenly striped. 
SOLAN UM JASMINOIDES 
GRANDIPLORA. 
A most beautiful new plant, which in- 
clines to a trailing or climbing habit, but 
never attains a greater height than three to 
five feet, and can be pinched back to a bush 
form. Its flowers are star shaped, like a 
clematis, and borne in enormous panicles 
or clusters, often a foot across. In color 
they are pure white, with a violet tinge on 
back of petals, and on the buds. In pots it 
is a fine bloomer, both summer and winter ; 
but its grandeur for out-door culture when 
trained against a wall or trellis, and show- 
ing hundreds of these magnificent panicles 
of bloom, cannot be described. It is a free 
and constant bloomer, commencing when 
only a foot high, and like the Manettia, its 
flowers keep perfect a long time before fad- 
ing. No more beautiful object can be seen 
than these two vines growing side by side, 
and mingling their profusion of bloom. 
Price, 15 cents. 
TRADESOANTIA MULTI- 
COLOR. 
Is most beautifully variegated purple, 
scarlet and white ; a beautiful basket plant, 
and useful for vases or a place in shade and 
I moisture. 10 cents each.
