MISS EMMA V. WHITE. 
MAURANDYA. 
The Mau randy a is a graceful annual climber 
for the window or the open ground in sum¬ 
mer! It bears a profusion of white, rose or 
violet blossoms and is very desirable for vases 
and to cover stumps or low trellises. The 
leaves are of a dainty green, prettily shaped, 
and for decorative purposes it is almost as 
desirable as Sniilax. It requires very little 
care, coming easily and quickly from seed 
sown in the open ground in May. Six to ten 
feet. Choice mixed. Pkt., 8 ctH. 
LEMON VERBENA. 
Though It has no gorgeous blossoms to rec¬ 
ommend it, yet the Lemon Verbena is always 
a favorite on account of the sweet perfume 
of its leaves. When dried they retain their 
odor for years, thus making a valuable filling 
for the sachet bag, or serving tli2 same pur¬ 
pose ns other aromatic plants. A few sprays 
In a bouquet not only elves n pleasing va¬ 
riety, but imparts ft delicftte. fragrance that 
adds much to its enjoyment. Pkt., 5 ctH.

MINA LOBATA. 
A rapid and luxuriant climber, 
attaining a height of 15 to 20 feet. 
The flowers, 15 to 25 in ft cluster, 
appear in the bud as a bright red, 
then change to orange yellow, 
while the blossoms are a still 
lighter tint. For northern sec¬ 
tions, start in February or March 
and let it become pot-bound be¬ 
fore setting out. Annual. Pkt., 4c. 
LOBELIA. 
Low growing, compact and dwarf in habit, no plant 
is finer for edgings or for massing than the Lobelia. It 
is very effective also for the hanging basket, rockery, 
or the window or porch box, and will be found desir 
able in pots for winter culture, making charming little 
pots of blue or white to fill in the niches he-c and there 
in the conservatory window. It will blossom in four 01 
five weeks from planting, and throughout the season 
will be a dense mass of bloom, bearing in great abund 
ance its tiny blue or white flowers. Although a peren 
nial, it is best treated as an annual, as it is very easily 
grown from seed. Mixed, several choice varieties

Every list of desirable 
perennials published in

for months. It is espec¬ 
ially valuable for the per¬
