General List of GieeoGouse and Being- Plants. 
ANEMONE JAPONICA. 
One of the most desirable of all late summer and 
autumn-flowering hardy herbaceous plants. hiatus 
begin to flower early in August, and continue until cut 
down by frost. The flowers are about one and one-half 
inches in diameter. They thrive best in a moist, rich 
soil ; a covering of leaves, straw or long manure is 
sufficient protection during our most severe winters, 
io cents. 
Alba. Delicate, pure white, with yellow center and 
dark eye. 
Rosea. Dark-rose, shaded pink ; yellow center and 
dark eye. 
AMPELOPSIS VEITCHIi. 
A new rapid-growing climber of great beauty, espe- 
cially for brick or stone houses or walls. Its 'foliage, 
which is lively green in summer, changes in autumn to 
brilliant crimson, producing a gorgeous effect. It will 
in a short time entirely cover the side of a large build- 
ing, and far surpasses the ivy in hardiness, rapidity of 
growth, effectiveness and beauty. We offer it at the 
low price of 15 cents each, three for 35 cents. 
ACHYRANTHES. 
Indispensable for bedding purposes, either in masses 
or ribboning, their brilliant tinted leaves forming a
