thirty pendulous b looms open at once: great creamy 
white blooms, eleven, twelve, or thirteen inches long and 
eight inches wide, of a texture resembling thick, fluted 
satin. Imagine these creamy trumpets pouring-fragrance

fection, and that new buds are constantly coming on, and 
you Will see why we value it so highly. It can be win¬

gridal f£ose.—(Rubus Floribunda)* 
A remarkable plant with leaves resembling a blackberry 
in shape; its flowers are produced during winter, and are as 
double as a Pseony, and almost as large. Color pure white, 
and when a plant one or two feet high shows a score or 
more of these enormous flowers, which they often do, the 
sight is a most novel and attractive one. New and little 
known. Will create a sensation anywhere. 20c. each; 3 for 50c. 
Hydrapgea. 
Superb and easily managed tub plants, blooming when 
very small, and growing larger and finer each year. Their 
immense close panicles of bloom are wonderfully showy, 
and they last in perfection for months. Largely grown for 
Easter and early summer decorations, and are perhaps the. 
most beautiful plants for piazzas or steps. 
Rosea— Beautiful rose-colored bloom that later turns to 
blue. A profuse bloomer, bearing very large panicles. 
Thos. Hogg— Much like above, but more white. 
Red Branched —This new variety, with heads of bloom as 
large as a water-pail, is of unusual value, commencing 
to bear its enormous trusses- of deep rose-pink bloom 
while yet very small and increasing constantly in size 
and profusion of bloom. The stems and branches are 
dark purplish red, which, with the .fresh green leaves, 
set off the clouds of rosy bloom admirably.
