New Dwarf Everblooming Calla. This, per- 
haps the most valuable of all Callas, does not grow' 
tall and scraggy, like the old variety, but is compact, 
with a great abundance of lustrous, dark-green 
foliage. Its flowers appear in great abundance, both 
summer and winter, when grown in pots, or it will 
bloom profusely all summer long in the open ground, 
and if potted in September will bloom all winter. It 
is estimated that six plants of the old sort will not 
produce so many flowers in the course of a year as 
one plant of this new dwarf variety ; a large plant is 
hardly ever without one or more flowers. Its blooms 
are large and snowy white. All in all, it is one of the 
most desirabte plants we ever offered. Small plants, 
10 cts. ; large plants, 25 cts.

CLEMATIS PANICULATA. 
A Japanese plant recently introduced to this country, 
and possessing unusually attractive merits. A vine 
of very rapid growth, quickly covering trellises and 
arbors with handsome, clean glossy green foliage. 
The flow'ers are of medium size, pure white, borne in 
immense sheets, and of a most delicious and penetra- 
ting fragrance. These flow ers appear in late Septem- 
ber, at a season when very few other vines are in 
bloom, being an added merit of great consequence. 
The extreme rapidity of its growth, the showy foliage, 
beautiful and fragrant .flowers borne so very freely, 
and its late blooming nature, united with an entire 
hardihood, serve to make this one of the very choicest 
of recent introductions, and indispensable to every 
private place. 25 cts. 
CLERODENDRON FRAGRANS FL. PL. 
This a low, shrubby plant, with large, tropical look- 
ing leaves, dull green above and dusty appearing be- 
neath. From the axils of the leaves appear compact 
heads of the most exquisite, waxy, white flow'ers 
exactly like miniature camellia blooms, and of the most 
delicious fragrance, attimes giving apleasing banana- 
like odor. The flowers are produced in such a compact 
head as to resemble a bouquet. Given a rich soil it 
blooms profusely ; can be wintered in the cellar or 
kept for winter blossoming. If cut down by frost, 
sprouts readily from the roots. 15 cts.
