Bridal j^ose — ( Rubus Floribunda 
A remarkable plant with leaves resembling a blackberr j 
in shape; its flowers are produced during winter, and ar® 
as double as a Paeony and almost as large. Color, pn?® 
white, and when a plant one or two feet high shows §s 
score or more of these enormous flowers, which they offcast 
do, the sight is most novel and attractive. New and little- 
known. Will create a sensation anywhere. 30c. each; ft 
for 50c. 
S^aipsoqia, or S^apflowter , 
SWAINSONIA. 
A new plant for winter blooming which 
surpasses any novelty that has been brought 
out in many years. In fact, it will be hard 
to name a plant now in cultivation which 
can equal it in beauty and general good 
qualities. It has a most beautiful fern-lik® 
foliage and blooms perpetually every day in 
the year, its blossoms being the shape and 
nearly the size of Sweet Peas, and borne in 
great clusters of twenty to forty. Thes® 
clusters appear at the axils of the leaves, 
and a single branch shows many clus ¬ 
ters of blooms at all times. The plant?; 
is a free and rapid grower, beginning t© 
bloom in three or four weeks 
from cuttings, and continuing 
for years. It is easier to grow 
and manage than a Geranium^ 
thriving in any soil and in 
any window, and is a superb 
bedding plant for the garden 
in summer. We believe there 
is no plant so easy to grow, or 
one that thrives and blooms 
under all conditions as does 
this charming Swanflower.

white; exquisite. 
Deep Red— Fine dark red, 
with large white blotches.
