ROT SHRUBBERY. 
If ard-Wooded Shrubbery Plants, the showiest class of all, from their imposing size and greater profusion 
of bloom. They have an advantage over other pot plants, also, in tuat they can be wintered in the cellar win 
out injury, it window room is scarce, as it often is. All the care they need is a little pinching now-and then to 
weep them bushy and compact, and occasional top-dressing of rich compost or rotted manure and water given in 
abundance to soak the entire ball of their roots through. So treated each plant will be a solid bouquet of bloom 
many' sorts remaining m bloom the whole year. Grand for conservatory or window, ball or drawing room 
or for piazza or yard decoration. We are doing our friends a kindness in urging them to grow plenty of Tuh 
Plants, that will last a life-time and improve in beauty each year. 1 J "

white blooms, eleven, twelue or thirteen inches long and 
eight inches wide, of a texture resembling thick, tinted 
Ratio. Imagine these creamy 1 rumpets pouring fragrance
