RUSSEL1A gLEGflHTiSSIIWa . (Mew.) 
A very striking semi-trailing plant, especially 
adapted for hanging baskets, vases, or window 
boxes, where a delicate, graceful effect is sought. 
The plant is skeleton-like in growth, throwing long 
spikes of rush-like branching foliage, 2 to 3 feet 
long, which are literally covered with brilliant 
coral-red florets. Well-grown plants, 3 to 4 feet in 
diameter, look like a shower of delicate coral blos¬ 
soms. Strong plants, 15c.; 3 for ftOc. 
RUSSEMA MULTIFa-ORfl. (New.) gimilarto 
above, but more delicate and pendant in growth, 
and a more profuse bloomer, a well-grown plant, 
being a perfect shower of bright coral-red flowers- - 
the most dainty basket plant extant. 
Strong plants, 20c.; 3 for 50c. 
(Childsia Wercklei.) 
A plant, entirely unknown to science until discovered recently 
by Mr. Carte Werckle, in the mountain regions of Costa Rica. It 
is a beautiful climbing composite, suitable for cool, shady win¬ 
dows or verandas. While it will grow to the height of 10 feet, it 
blooms profusely when very small, its flowers being like a clem¬ 
atis in shape hut intense scarlet in color, which, added to the 
beauty of its foliage and natural grace of growth, makes one of the 
most elegant flowering plants ever seen. It is a quick, robust 
grower, and so hardy and vigorous that it will stand any amount 
of abuse. Specimens sent to the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew 
attracted great attention, and it has been decided to call it Treas¬ 
ure Vine on account of its great value. 
Fine plants, 25c. each; 3 for 60c.; 5 for $1.00. 
THE “ARBUTUS,” or MflVFLOWEfg VERBENA, 
Raised by Luther Burbank (the Wizard of Horticulture). The 
shape of its flowers and clusters of bloom, as well as its color are 
identical with the flowers of the Trailing Arbutus, or Mayflower 
and having the same superb fragrance. The size of the flowers are 
about equal to a silver quarter, and in delicate coloring and rich 
perfume it has no rival. Strong plants, 10c. each ; 3 for 25c 
Seed. Pkt, 50 seeds, 10c.; 3 for 25c.
