Nepeta Gleclioma. 
LINUM TKHiVXOI. 
A winter-blooming plant of great beauty, producing, 
in great profusion, very large and showy blossoms of 
a bright yellow. The plant is a complete mass of 
bloom for a long time during winter; the flowers are 
about the size of Morning Glories, and no matter 
how small the plant is, it will bloom profusely. 15 cts. 
MANETTIA VINE.[ 
This pretty vine is valuable in the house because it 
can be trained all around a window, and will be 
a solid wreath of bloom both summer and winter. 
In the garden its beauty surpasses everything. The 
flowers are intense scarlet, tipped with yellow, and 
borne by the thousand. (See cut, page 33.) 15 cts. 
NEPETA GLECHOMA. 
A new trailing plant, with beautiful white and 
green leaves, which have a refreshing fragrance. 
It will no doubt become one of our most useful plants 
for festooning work, such as drooping from hanging 
baskets, vases, fancy pots, etc., its graceful, rapid 
growth rendering it unequaled for this purpose. 
Doubtless it will also be largely used in cemeteries, 
as it is entirely hardy and, we think, more orna- 
mental than almost anything in use. For trailing 
over stones or stumps, or in fact for any sort of deco- 
ration, it is splendid. 10 cts. each, 3 for 25 cts. 
OXALIS ORTCilESII. 
Few plants will give more satisfaction than this, as 
it is a perpetual bloomer in every sense of the word. 
It is in full bloom every day in the year, when grown 
in a pot of good soil and with ordinary care. It grows 
as freely as a geranium in any situation, and is a 
shrubby plant, like a geranium or fuchsia, without 
bulbs, in which respect it differs from other Oxalises. 
It grows 12 to 18 inches in height, branching freely, 
and is covered at all times with clusters of bright 
golden, star shaped flowers, which do not close at 
night, as in other sorts of Oxalis. 10 cts. 
PEPEROMIA. 
A lovely Mexican trailer, to be used as one would 
use the old “ Wandering Jew,” It makes an attract- 
ive trailing or creeping vine, as its leaves are exceed- 
ingly beautiful, being a dark, velvety greenish black, 
freely blotched with silver. 15 cts. 
PRIMULA. 
(Chinese Primrose.) 
Sinensis. Single fringed, pink and white. 15 cts. 
Obconica. The everblooming white Primrose; a 
beautiful and easily grown window Plant. 15 cts. 
NEW PINK, HER MAJESTY. 
We have much pleasure in drawing attention to 
this charming novelty, which is unquestionably one 
of the lines! of this century, and will hold its own as 
long as Pinks are cultivated. It is far ahead of any- 
thing yet seen, and all the old white varieties sink 
into insiguiflcance by the side of this great beauty. 
It has become one of the most popular plants of the 
day, and is being grown by acres to supply the de- 
mand (which must come) for cut-flowers. It was 
freely exhibited in 1889, and was the great attraction 
at every exhibition, and the demand will be simply 
enormous. 15cts. (For other Pinks, see next page.)
