NEW H^^RDY PASSIFLORA—‘‘Constance 
Elliott.” 
This beautiful variety is a seedling from Passiflora Cerulea, 
and like it is hardy and free growing. As a hardy climbing plant 
it rivals some of the Clematis in size, color and profusion of 
bloom, and surpasses them in vigor of growth and delicious fra¬ 
grance. The flowers are about double the size of that shown in 
the engraving, and are pure ivory white. Excellent for cemetery 
purposes. Awarded a first-class certificate by the Royal Horticul¬ 
tural Society, London, 1884. We consider ourselves fortunate in 
securing a large stock of this charming novelty, and have decided 
to offer it at s© low a price that every one can obtain it. 
Price; strong plants, 20 cents each. 
PASSIFLORA—Passion Flower. 
PRIMULA—Chinese Primrose. 
Climbing plants for greenhouse and window that possess a 
pleasing appearance, in the foliage, the form of growth, and in 
the flower. “ The name was applied from the resemblance afford¬ 
ed by the parts of the plant to the instruments of our Lord’s Pas¬ 
sion and its attendant circumstances: thus, the three nails, two 
for the hands and one for the feet, are represented by the stigmas; 
the five anthers indicate the five wounds; the rays of glory, or, as 
some say, the crown of thorns, are represented by the rays of the 
‘corona,’ the ten parts of the perianth represents the Apostles, 
two of them absent, (Peter who denied, and Judas who betrayed our Lord,) and the 
wicked hands of His persecutors are seen in the digitate leaves of^the plant, and the 
scourges in the tendrils.”

Pew house plants afford better satisfaction than this. It requires to be kept cool, 
a north window suiting it best. Care should be taken in watering that no water gets 
on the buds, as it causes them to rot. In the Summer they can be turned out into a 
shady border. The plants should be divided, if wanted for the next Winter, put into 
smalt pots, and kept shaded until well rooted; then, as they grow, re-pot, using a 
size larger pot. This is especially desirable for the double varieties. The plants I 
offer are fine, and the color will please.
