Double Pompon Dahlias. 
HARDY DAHLIA. Golden Ball. Although not real!/ 
a Dahlia this plant bears so much resemblance to the 
family that we deem the name appropriate; the plants 
attain a height of four feet, are well furnished with pretty 
dark-green foliage, which in fall just shows through the 
almost complete covering of beautiful, double golden- 
yellow flowers that last till frost. Seeds, per packet, 
io cents. Extra strong plants, each 15 cents; per dozen, 
$1.50. 
GLADIOLI. This valuable and easy cultivated class of 
bulbs is not half appreciated. They can be grown in 
beds or borders, and a succession of bloom can be kept

bulbs, mixed colors, per bulb, 25 cts.; five for $1.00;

CLEMATIS PANICULATA. We cannot better describe this marvellously beautiful and fragrant climber 
than bv the following, which appeared in a Boston daily paper, Sept. 19, 1S92. “ This is the time of the 
full splendor of that wonderful climber, as yet quite new here, Clematis Paniculata. It covers some porches 
that the ‘ Listener’’ knows well, with a white sheet of beautiful bloom, and fills the air all about with the 
most delicious perfume, It was introduced only a Lw years ago, and its growth is so marvellously rapid, 
and its adaptation to our climate so complete, that it already threatens to reach the housetops. In a general 
wav it resembles our common wild Clematis or Virgin’s Bower, but its blossoms are more profuse and pure 
white, and exquisitely and penetratingly fragrant. It 
needs a trellis to grow upon. Of course it is an added rec¬ 
ommendation to it that its flowers come in late September, 
when shrubs and climbers in bloom are rare. It is only 
one of about a million beautiful things, more or less, in 
nature and art, that we owe the mother-land of gentle¬ 
ness and beauty, Japan.” Plants, 25 cts. to $1.00 each ; 
$3.00 to $10.00 dozen. 
CYCLAMEN PERSICUM GIGANTEUM. This magni¬ 
ficent strain of the favorite Cyclamen Persicum is the

variety of color, remarkable at once lor delicacy and 
distinctness. Fine plants, 75 cents each; $S.oo per
