Pieroii)a Spl ei >dei>s. 
At present this is a rare flower. Not only is it a free 
grower and blooms the year round, but it is another addition 
to the very small list of purple-blue flowers, always an 
uncommon color, but a striking one, and one that imparts a 
look of richness to a general collection. Mowers very large 
—three inches across—opening flat, the velvety petals show¬ 
ing to great advantage, and reminding one , of the regal 
beauty of Clematis Jackmanni. Plants commence to bloom 
when only a few inches high, and continue all the time. 20c. 
each; 3 for 50c. 
Nepeta Gleebouw. 
This new Nepeta is hardy, fragrant and pretty, its small, 
round leaves finely marked with white. Very fine for hang¬ 
ing baskets, standing any abuse and looking cheerful under 
it. One of the prettiest things in the world with which to 
carpet graves, as it roots wherever it touches the ground and 
forms an impenetrable net-work of vines, through which 
weeds and grass cannot creep. It'will grow in anv kind of 
soil, in sun or shade, hot oreold Ideation, and is ever a mass 
of green and white, refreshing to the eye. Unsurpassed for 
vases, hanging pots or baskets. 15c. each; 3 for 30c.

in the open ground, during summer, it will grow ten feet, 
branching freely and covering a large space of trellis, arbor

fiery scarlet, shading off to a bright yellow tip, They are

any sort of decent care. 15c. each, 3 for 35c.
