tory plant; becomes valuable with age. 50 cts.

These are a great Improvement on older kinds.

ously, either in pots or bedded out, stand drouths, and 
thrive under difficulties better than most other bed- 
ding plants.

rich crimson flowers all summer. 10 cts. 
PHYSIANTHUS ALBENS. 
(The Cruel Plant.) 
This beautiful Brazilian climber may best be com- 
pared with Stephanotis Jloribunda, the foliage being 
somewhat similar to that of the Stephanotis, though 
smaller, and the blossoms, which are borne in clus- 
ters, pure white and deliciously scented. It derives 
name of “ Cruel Plant ” or “ Cruel Flower ” from 
the fact that insects are attracted by its rich perfume, 
and thus entrapped into the open flower, struggling 
in the sticky nectar until dead. As an outdoor sum- 
mer climber it gives great satisfaction, and always 
attracts much attention from flower lovers. 15 cts. 
May Pink.
