“Fairest and most lovely, 
From the world apart, 
Made for beauty only. 
Veiled from Nature's heart. 
With such unconscious (trace as 
makes thee dream of Art.” 
—Ko$e Terry Cooke. 
It is impossible to impress upon any one the won¬ 
drous beauty of this superb Hydrangea; even the 
smallest plants bear immense trusses of bloom, that 
are simply amazing. The engraving is taken from 
a photograph of a young plant, and well illustrates 
the profusion with which the large flower heads are 
produced. 
The branches are of a dark red color, brightening 
to clear crimson as they near the flower heads, which 
are a beautiful shade of deep rose. 
This is a plant of sterling merit; one of the easiest 
to grow, and is sure to succeed with only ordinary 
care. 
Plants , each, 25 cts.; three for 60 ets.; six for $1.00. 
The New Hydrangea. 
SWEET SCENTED LANTANA, 
NELLIE BLy. 
u Nor waste their sweetness in the desert air"- Churchill. 
A sweet scented variety of 
this beautiful class of plants 
is indeed a rarity; would there 
were more of them. The dis¬ 
agreeable odor emitted from 
the common sorts has always 
kept them from becoming 
more popular. 
In our new variety, Nelijle 
Bly, we have one that pro¬ 
duces large trusses of beau¬ 
tiful white flowers, which 
have a delicate, sweet, spicy 
fragrance, that is very pleas¬ 
ing. On opening, the flowers 
have a showy lemon-yellow 
center, but this soon changes 
so as to leave a beautiful 
truss of pure snowy white¬ 
ness. 
The plant is a strong grow¬ 
er and blooms profusely. 
Each, 25 cts.; three for 50 cts. 
Manettia Vine—Manettia Bicolor. 
A beautiful twining plant, producing very showy tubular flowers from 
tme to two inches in length, and m such great abundance that the plants 
*re literally covered with them the entire season. The flowers are of the 
most intense fiery-scarlet, with bright yellow tip; they are also covered 
with a moss, or hairy substance, that adds much to their beauty. As a 
pot plant to train on a trellis, it is unrivalled; grown in this manner, it 
\vill bloom without ceasing for several years, if well cared for. In the 
open ground it also succeeds admirably, growing from eight to ten feet 
in height, and showing at all times innumerable blossoms. It is a plant 
of rare beauty. Plants, each, 10 cts.; three for 50 'cts.; seven for $1.00 
Genista Canariensis. 
"And in my heart you're shi'incd, oh, peerless flow'rsl 
Oh! loyal friends, whose true love never dies!'* 
—Madge Elliot. 
This is the beautiful yellow flowering plant that is grown so 
largely for decorative purposes at Easter time. The flowers are jg 
a rich golden yellow and produced so freely as to literally cover 
the plant with bloom. 
It is of the simplest culture, and can be grown to perfection 
with only ordinary care, in any window garden or conservatory. 
It is also one of the few plants that are always in demand after I 
they have obtained considerable size. Good specimens of this j 
variety sell readily at $10 to $15 each, and larger ones in propor- I 
tion. Those who have never grown this lovely plant will be de¬ 
lighted with it.
