HARDY TUBEROUS-ROOTED IPOMCEA. 
This splendid hardy climber grows rapidly, covering a large space in one season 
and will live in the ground over winter in our Northern latitudes. The flowers are 
very large, pure white, shading to pink and purple in the throat. Roots, each, 20c. 
LIATRIS OR GAY FEATHER. 
This species is so distinct and striking as to attract instant attention among 
border plants. It grows from two to four feet high, the slender stems terminating 
in a long densely covered spike of lilac-purple flowers. 
Bulbs, 15c. each. 
MADEIRA VINE. 
An excellent climber, which makes a good screen for windows, etc.: also fine 
for baskets and out door situations. Grows very rapidly, is quite tender, and 
should necessarily be taken up and stored during winter in a cool, dry cellar, secure 
from frost. Each, 10c., doz. 75c. 
MYOSOTIS, (Forget-Me-Not.) 
These have always been favorites everywhere. The plants like a moist, cool 
situation, but succeed in any fair garden soil. 
Myosotis (Forget-Me-Not), blue, 20c. 
OXALIS. 
One of the prettiest plants we are acquainted with for borders or edgings of beds 
and walks; forms fine round-headed specimens about a foot in height by the same 
in breadth; leaves are in nine divisions; flowers of bright purplish pink and borne 
well above the foliage; bulbs are small and should be planted one or two inches 
apart in the spring, every one of which will produce a good plant; lift bulbs in the 
fall and store safely away. 
Oxalis lasiandra, per hundred 50c., per doz. 10c. 
TIGRIDIA. 
Curious and beautiful shell like flowers, pro 
ducing an abundance of bloom for a long time. The 
bulbs should be taken up in the autumn, before 
severe frosts, and removed to a dry cellar and cov 
with sand. 
Conchiflora, yellow, with dark spots; each 8c., 4 for 
25c.. doz. 75c. 
Pavonia, red, with dark spots; each 8c., 4 for 25c.,

TRITOMA, ( Red-Hot Poker.) 
This splendid late-flowering herbaceous plant, 
throws up a strong flowering stem from three to five 
feet in heignt, with a large spike of rich orange re.a 
tinted flower tubes, called in Europe the “ Red-Hot 
Poker.” It is admirably adapted to this climate, and 
will thrive in any ordinary garden soil; they delight 
in a moist soil, and should during dry weather be 
duly supplied with water. The Tritoma is quite 
hardy in this latitude, and is occasionally left out 
during winter; but for safety we would advise taking 
up the plants in autumn and removing to a cool 
cellar, covering the roots with earth or sand. 
Uvaria, exceedingly fine; good roots, each 20c. tritoma. 
water hyacinth. 
Unique and beautiful; requires but limited space; easily grown; floats on the 
water by means of curious inflated leaves, a mass of feathery blue roots growing 
downward into the water. Flowers large, borne on spikes resembling hyacinths, 
of a rosy lilac color. As handsome as an orchid. In the summer it can be 
grown in the water lily tub or pond; in winter, in a glass vessel of some sort. Each 25c
