"WHIRLWIND!' 
Mosquito Catcher piaqt. 
This pretty plant, Yincetoxicum, comes from Japan, It 
grows one to two feet, high and all summer bears a profusion 
.-•of pretty, white, star-like blossoms that secrete a viscid fluid 
that attracts mosquitoes and sometimes other insects as well. 
Alas for the poor mosquito! No struggling on his part can 
ever free him after he has once dipped his beak in the forbid¬ 
den sweets, though he may tug and plunge and buzz for a day 
or two after. A single spray of bloom will capture a dozen 
mosquitoes. 15o. each; 5 for 50c. 
-Aqeiqoqe, WhirlWiqd. 
A variety qf the beautiful old A. Japponica, but with large, 
semi-double blossoms of a snow-white color. It possesses a 
beauty and airy grace which is seen in but few flowers, and its 
great profusion of bloom at the end of. summer and during 
fall, when pure white flowers are scarce, makes it very valu¬ 
able—in fact one of the finest novelties of the year. 10c. each; 
5 for 50C. 
Pseonies. 
The favorite of to-day, as it was fifty years ago. Luxurious 
foliaged plants, with magnificent, double incurved flowers of 
enormous size and rich colorings. Nothing can surpass the 
intensity of the dark varieties that fairly glow with a radiant 
lire of richness, while the white and paie varieties are very 
soft and delicate.in their coloring. 
New Giant— Like an enormous double Rose, of a blush, almost 
white color; a Peeonv which grows 3 to 4 feet high, and 
bears flowers nearly as large as a man’s hat, 
which resembles a perfect Rose. In fact, the 
flower is the same shape, fragrance, and exquis¬ 
ite satin-like pink color as Baroness Rothschild 
Rose. It is beautiful beyond description. Fine 
roots. 40c. each; 3 for Sl.oo.
