f WOULD ask a careful perusal of the following comprehensive and complete list 
of miscellaneous plants, etc., arranged alphabetically, which Includes plants 
and bulbs suitable for window and conservatory culture; those that are useful 
for bedding out during the Summer, and also lor permanent planting, such as 
hardy shrubs, vines, bulbs, etc., etc. My prices, you will And, compare favorably 
with other responsible dealers, and are as low as good plants can be furnished. 
For the best methods of successful cultivation,*propagation and uses this list is 
best adapted for, I would respectfully call attention to my recent publication of the 
“ Home Florist,” price $1.25, which will answer all the necessary questions of the 
amateur and beginner. This is just what you need. It is handsomely illustrated, 
elegantly bound, contains 319 pages of practical talk about flowers. 
ABUTILONS. 
The Abutilon, or Flowering Maple, is a plant of as easy culture as the Geranium, 
and quite as satisfactory. It is beautiful both in leal and flower, and is very profuse 
in bloom. The rich, pure bright reds and clear yellows that have been added to the 
varieties of late years, have placed it high among decorative plants, besides being 
specially valuable for its graceful pendant blooms when used for floral pieces, or lor 
the corsage. Treat it exactly as you do your Geraniums. A good plan, if you wish 
to flower them in the house during Winter, is to plant in pots and plunge in the gar¬ 
den, as they can then be lilted In the Fall without disturbing the roots. 
Price, 10 cents each, except where noted.
