Lalania Borbonica. 
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. 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 festoon- 
ing work, such as drooping from hanging baskets, 
vases, fancy pots, etc., its graceful, rapid growth ren- 
dering it unequaled for this purpose. Doubtless it will 
also be largely used in cemeteries, as it is entirely 
hardy and, wethink, more ornamental than almost any- 
thing in use. For trailing over stones or stumps, or In 
fact for any sort of decoration, it is splendid. (See cut, 
page 34.) 10 cts. each, 3 for 25 cts. 
OXALIS ORTGIESII. 
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.

NEW HARDY PASSIFLORA, “CON- 
STANCE ELLIOTT. ’ 
This beautiful variety is a seedling from Passiflora 
ccEridea , and like it, is hardy and free-growing. As a 
h’rdy climbing plant it rivals some of the Clematis 
varieties in size, color and profusion of bloom, and 
surpasses them in vigor of growth and in its exceed- 
ingly delicious fragrance. The flowers are pure ivory- 
white ; excellent for cemetery purposes. Without 
bloom, the elegant vine would be prized greatly, even 
as an ornamental climbing vine. Strong pot-planls, 
10 cts. 
SILVER STRIPED PEPEROMIA. 
Window plants will ever be popular. So thick and 
wax-like are the leaves of this parlor gem that nearly 
every one takes it to be an artificial plant. The leaves 
are distinctly variegated white and green, and have 
the appearance of being powdered with frosted silver. 
Few plants could be more useful for table decoration, 
and none will stand ill-usage so readily. Its small 
spikes of mignonette-like flowers are quite interesting. 
20 cts. 
HARDY PINKS. 
Price, 10 cts. each, except where noted; set of 9 for 75 cts. 
These are dwarfer than the Carnation, growing about 
1 foot in height, the colors being of the various shades 
of maroon, carmine and rose, beautifully laced and 
banded on white ground ; flowers perfectly double, 
clove scented, and the plants will stand out of doors 
year after year, being entirely hardy. 
Her Majesty. (New.) We have much pleasure in 
drawing attention to this charming novelty, which is 
unquestionably one of the finest of this century, and 
will hold its own as long as Pinks are cultivated. It is 
far ahead of anything yet seen, and all the old white 
varieties sink into insignificance by the side of this 
great beauty. It has b come one of the most popular 
plants of the day, and is being grown by acres to 
supply the demand (which must come) for cut- flowers. 
It has been freely exhibited, and was the great attrac- 
tion at every exhibition, and the demand will be simply 
enormous. 15 cts. 
Pink Her Majesty. 
Do not fail to fill the order sheet carefully; it wil save us and you much bother.
