FALL CATALOGUE OF BULBS THAT BLOOM FOR 1897. 
53 
Wistaria. 
A favorite vine, that will grow twenty-five feet in a single 
season. Just the thing for second-story verandas, or as a 
tree climber, or to train against a high wall. In early spring 
is covered with great massive clusters, sometimes two feet 
long, of lovely pea-shaped flowers. 
Alba —A mass of white flowers in spring, the clusters of 
bloom reaching two feet in length. 75c. each. 
Sinensis Magnlfica —Fine large clusters of lovely blue 
flowers, produced in great masses. 20c. each; 3 for 50c. 
s&ippelopsis Veitclp. 
The fashionable wall climber of the day. Clings tightly 
by suckers thrown out along the stem, to rock, brick, etc., 
and is a wall of living green the summer through, turning 
in autumn to a flaming crimson, when it is fairly gorgeous. 
It stands the dust and dry air of cities admirably. Nothing 
else can take its place, 15a each; 5 for 50c.; 12 for $1.0° 
JJopeysdckle. 
The dear old Honeysuckle is 
never out of place, at the rich 
man’s mansion or the poor man’s 
cottage. For a cheap, hardy, 
robust, yet lovely vine, it is the 
chief standby. Flowers exceed¬ 
ingly beautiful and very fra¬ 
grant. 
Fuchsia Flowered-Large clus¬ 
ters of long, trumpet-shaped 
flowers,that droop like a Fuch¬ 
sia, and are of brilliant coral 
red. Very fine. 
Colden Leaved — Marvelously 
effective. It bears innumer¬ 
able sprays of the most perfect 
little leaves that are covered 
with a net-work of gold and 
green, often marked with pink 
also. The gold deepens at the 
tip of the sprays and there is 
nothing finer to combine with corsage bouquets, while 
for trimming floral baskets they are the finest things we 
know of. A strong grower, with white blossoms. A 
unique vine. 
Hal liana— The best white monthly Honeysuckle, with dark 
green foliage, which keeps fresh and green nearly all 
winter, and beautiful clusters of the sweetest scented 
flowers that open a snowy white and turn a pale yellow. 
These flowers are produced in profusion from early 
spring until late fall. A fine vine for a large trellis, or 
to train at the end of a verandah, or over tall screens. 
15c. each; the 3 for hoc.; $1.50 per dozen. 
Lowering Vines. 
Gleipatis. 
The finest vine in existence for small trellises, or piazza 
pillars. Used also to cover rock-work, mound, stumps, etc., 
or can be used as a low trailer, pegging its shoots down to 
the ground. Foliage neat, habit graceful, and for months a 
solid sheet of bloom, the large starry flowers actually hiding 
the foliage. The flowers are from 4 to 9 inches across, ex¬ 
tremely showy. All of these are perfectly hardy. And are 
the finest varieties: 
Ramona— A strong, rampant grower, fully three times as 
strong as Jackmanni, often growing ten feet the first 
season. It is a perpetual bloomer, flowers appearing 
both in the old and the new wood, giving an abundance 
of blossoms all through the season. In color a very deep 
sky-blue, lovely and distinct from any other. In size 
the flowers surpass anything we have ever seen. Per¬ 
fectly hardy and very vigorous; new and grand. 80c. 
Henry! —This is the finest of all white Clematis, and should 
find a place in every collection. It is not only a vigorous 
grower, but is a remarkably free and continuous bloomer, 
beginning with the earliest and holding on with the 
latest. Flowers large, of a beautiful creamy white. 00c. 
Jackmanni —This is perhaps the best known of the fine 
perpetual Clematis, and should have credit for the great 
popularity now attending this family of beautiful climb¬ 
ers. The plant is free in its form of growth, and an 
abundant and successful bloomer, producing flowers 
until frozen up. The flowers are large, of an intense 
violet purple, remarkable for its velvety richness. 50c. 
Paniculata —We cannot well say too much in praise of 
this vine. A clean, thrifty, robust growing vine, of 
graceful habit, with attractive glossy foliage, and cover¬ 
ed in August and Septemper with a sheet of clustered 
snow white bloom of the most delicious fragrance. No 
other vine so completely covers itself with flowers. An 
arbor or portico over which this Clematis is trained, is a 
wall of white for the time being, and what makes it the 
more striking is that nearly all other vines have ceased 
blooming at that time. The panicles of bloom are very 
pretty for cutting, the pretty star-like florets, with their 
feathery stamens appearing to fine advantage contrasted 
with the larger ana more vivid flowers of the early 
autumn garden. Perfectly hardy; grows rapidly. Fine 
vines, 25c. each; 3 for 60c.; 6 for $1.00. 
Coccinea —A graceful festooning vine of elegant appear¬ 
ance. Bears a profusion of shining coral-scarlet buds 
and flowers all summer. Blossoms bell-shaped, very 
bright and beautiful. Fine for decorating. 20c. 
Crlspa —Something like Coccinea, but more broadly bell¬ 
shaped, and their color a fine blue tipped with white. 
Very neat foliage. 20c. each; 3 for 50c. 
One each of above 6 fine Clematis, $2.00,
