Hibiscus Moscheutos (Rose Mallow). 
A handsome native variety, growing three feet to 
five feet high, and producing abundantly, in late sum¬ 
mer, large rosy-pink flowers four inches in diameter. 
It grows naturally in wet and marshy ground, and is 
common in New Jersey and elsewhere ; but has not 
yet received the recognition in gardens which it merits 
and will receive when its decorative value becomes 
better known. Though in the wild state it occurs 
only in wet soils, it grows even more luxuriantly when 
transplanted to the garden. 25 cents each ; $2.50 per 
dozen. 
Liatris Graminilolia. 
One of the most showy species of the Liatris in 
cultivation. The plants can be made very bushy by 
pinching, and every branch will be covered from top 
to bottom with purple, brush-like flowers, which can 
be dried and used like immortelles. It should be well 
worth growing for this use alone. Flowering bulbs, 15 
cents each ; $1.50 per dozen. 
LIATRIS GRAMINIFOI.IA. 
Musa Ensete. 
The noblest of all plants is this great Abyssinian Banana. The 
fruit of this variety is not edible, but the leaves are magnificent, 
long, broad, and of a beautiful green, with a broad crimson 
midrib. The plant grows luxuriantly from eight to twelve feet 
high. During the hot summer, when planted out, it grows rapidly 
and attains gigantic proportions, producing a tropical effect on 
the lawn, terrace, or in the flower garden. It can be stored 
in a light cellar or cool greenhouse during the winter, with a cov¬ 
ering of soil, or planted in a tub, watered sparingly. We offer a 
fine line of these plants. 50 cents, 75 cents, $1.00, $1.50, $2.00, and 
$3.00 each ; a few extra strong plants, $5.00 each. 
Fancy-Leaved Caladiums. 
For many years the fancy-leaved Caladiums have been a special 
feature of our establishment. Our collection has been carefully 
revised, and contains only first-class distinct and well-marked 
varieties. Their greatest value is for the decoration of conser¬ 
vatories, greenhouses, and window boxes, while nothing can 
surpass them as exhibition plants for fairs during the summer and 
fall. Most of the varieties, if planted about the first of June in 
partly-shaded warm borders, in well enriched light soil, succeed 
admirably as bedding plants, the various colorings and markings 
of which cannot be obtained in any other class of plants. 30 cents 
each ; $3 per dozen ; extra strong plants, 50 cents each ; $5 per dozen. 
Moon Flower. (Impomea Noctiflora.) 
This beautiful climber is often called Evening Glory, on account 
of the flowers opening in the evening only, the flowers remaining 
open all night, and closing up two or three hours after daylight, 
unless the day be cloudy, when they will remain open until noon. 
It is a rapid-growing plant of the Morning Glory family, with 
pure white moon-like flowers, six inches in diameter. As a rapid 
climber for covering arbors, verandas, trees or walls it has no 
superior. The flowers are very fragrant, and are produced in 
great numbers. 20 cents each ; $2 per dozen.
