A FEW FLO WEES 
Leiophyllum Buxifolium (Sand Myrtle). 
A low growing, bushy, heath-like evergreen that 
will find a place among decorative plants for forcing 
for the holidays, and particularly for Easter. It 
remains a long time in bloom and is very showy. 
The flowers are in clusters of pure white, with pink 
stamens, and are borne all over the plant. The 
specimen from which the illustration was made was 
about fifteen inches in diameter. It is equally 
desirable for out-door planting, as it is hardy and 
evergreen, standing out in the latitude of Cam¬ 
bridge, Mass. Bushy seedlings, six- to eight-inch 
tops, 25 cents each ; $2 per dozen. 
LKIorHYLLUM BUXIKOI.IUM. 
Anthemis Tinctoria 
(Chamomile). 
This plant is one of the best yellow-flowered 
perennials we have. It is a continuous bloomer the 
entire summer, unecpialed for cutting, and it is a 
magnilicent grower, withstanding both wet and dry 
weather. The flowers are of the exact form of a 
daisy, but clear yellow. It has been advertised 
under the name of “ Ilardy Golden Marguerite ” ; 
but it should not be confounded with the Double 
Golden Marguerite, which is a poor grower, and 
smaller flowered. 25 cents each ; $2.50 per dozen. 
Ipomea Pandurata (Hardy Moon Flower). 
This is one of the most rapid-growing vines in cultivation, having a large tuberous root that is perfectly hardy in 
Minnesota and Canada. A root three or four years planted will send up quite a number of strong shoots, that climb 
rapidly to a height of thirty to forty feet. 1 hese shoots branch freely from the ground up, forming a perfect network of 
strong branches, densely covered from early summer to late autumn with its large, pretty, deep green, heart-shaped 
leaves, which overlap each other, forming a perfect, dense screen. The laterals continue to grow from the base to the 
end of the season, so that the surface, from the ground upward, continues green and complete to the last. 
The flowers, which are very large, are a pure, satiny white, with a pinkish-purple throat, shading off deeper in the 
tube. The flowers are usually four inches in diameter—sometimes attain a diameter of five or even six inches. They 
are produced in large clusters, ami in the greatest profusion from June to October. A strong plant will give more than 
One thousand beautiful flowers daily for months at a time, being well distributed over the plant from near the base 
to the top, forming usually one of the grandest floral displays ever seen in any country. The roots penetrate the earth 
so deep that it is not seriously affected by drouth or other unfavorable weather conditions. It does not sprout and 
spread to become troublesome, like some other plants, but increases in vigor and beauty from year to year. 25 cents 
each ; $2.50 per dozen. 
(.anna, Madame Crozy. 
1 his is a superb variety, the flowers being as large as Gladiolus, and borne in large spikes; flowers glowing 
scarlet. 1 he plant is a dwarf grower, with green foliage, and one of the most abundant bloomers of all. 85 cents 
each.
