GREVILLEA ROBUSTA. 
This is known nlso n.s the "Silk Oak,” and is a 
valuable decorative plant, germinating readily 
from seed, and making in two or three months’ 
time a very ornamental little plant. The lacin- 
inted foliage gives it somewhat the appearance of 
n fern, but it is much more hardy, consequently 
more useful as a decorative plant. Pkt., 8 cts. 
GYPSOPHILA 
PANICULATA. 
No lady who does 
decorating or who de¬ 
lights to adorn her 
rooms with beautiful 
flowers should be with¬ 
out the Gypsophila. Its 
fairy, mist-like sprays 
of delicate white blos¬ 
soms have also given 
it the appropriate 
names of "Vanity,” or 
"Baby’s Breath.” By 
itself it is of no value, 
but mixed with coarser 
flowers, it sets off a 
bouquet as dainty lace 
does a lady’s dress. It 
is a hardy perennial,of 
easy cultivation, and 
will continue to bloom 
for years, furnishinga 
never failing supply 
of delicate sprays for 
each needed occasion.

HEUCHERA SANGUINEA. 
One of the finest of recently introduced hardy perennials. The plants are dwarf 
and compact, with evergreen foliage, beautifully cut and marbled and slightly hairy. 
The flowers are a brilliant red and, though small, are borne in such extravagant a- 
bundance on the long, graceful spikes as to make, with the sunlight upon them, a 
fairly dazzling appearance. They remain in bloom several weeks, lending their 
brilliant color to the garden bed, or are graceful and pretty for cutting. Very easv 
of cultivation. Pkt., 5 cts. 
LEMOINE'S GIANT HELIOTROPE. 
I am pleased to offer, this year, seed of this unsurpassed new strain of Heliotrope. 
With its large, glossy leaves and immense heads of deliciously fragrant flowers, much 
larger than in the ordinary varieties, it is indeed a magnificent plant. A single truss 
in a well developed plant measures from ten to fifteen inches across and contains 
thousands of individual florets. Any attempt to adequately describe this wonderfully 
beautiful strain would be characterized as overdrawn and simply a catalogue "catch.” 
It will not cost much to ascertain the credibility of what is claimed for this new Giant 
Heliotrope, and I am sure you will be delighted with the results. If kept in a 
rather warm temperature, according to directions in my "Culture of Flowers,” the 
seed will be found to germinate readily. Pkt., O cts.
