SOLANUM. 
TRITOMA. 
SMILAX. 
The Tritoma 
flowers late 
in the sum¬ 
mer, usually 
commencing 
in August, 
and continu¬ 
ing till win¬ 
ter, and is 
adapted for 
large beds or 
groups, the 
many flame- 
colored ra¬ 
cemes form¬ 
ing a stately 
object. The 
flower stems 
grow from 
.our to five 
feet in height 
surmounted 
by a spike of 
curious red 
and orange 
flowers, a 
foot in length 
very showy. 
The Tritoma is almost haruy anywhere, but lar North, 
for safety, store the plants in a pit or cellar in winter. 
Tritoma, roots, per dozen, $3.00 ; each . 30 
TUBEROSE. 
Smilax. A popular and well-known climber with beau- 
foliage of a dark glossy green, used largely with cut 
flowers, particularly wreaths, &c. An excellent 
plant for parlor or window culture. For the wreath¬ 
ing of dresses, curtains, and indeed for all ornamen¬ 
tal matters there is nothing in the world equal to 
Smilax. It runs on strings, so that it is only neces¬ 
sary to cut these strings and the wreathing is ready 
made. Young plants 20 cents each. 
TROP/EOLUM. 
SEE ENGRAVING, PAGE 27. 
Tropaeolum, 1 Double Orange.) This is a plant 
much called for lately. We have a fine stock. It 
blooms very freely, even on small plants. 25 cents. 
Ball of Fire, single ; rich deep scarlet ; fine for hang¬ 
ing baskets, vases, &c.; 25 cents each. 
The Tuberose is a beautiful, pure white, wax-like, 
very sweet scented, double flower, growing on tall stems, 
each stem bearing a dozen or more flowers. In cold lati¬ 
tudes, obtain tubers early, plant them in boxes of earth, 
and keep in a warm place in the house; when warm 
weather transplant to the garden. Those who want this 
beautiful flower in the early winter efin plant a few bulbs 
in pots in July or August, sink them to the rim in earth 
in the garden, where they can remain until the cool 
nights of autumn, to be then removed to the house. 
Our Tuberoses are of our own growing, and very splen¬ 
did bulbs, and not one in a hundred will fail to flower. 
New Dwarf Tuberose, “ Pearl,” is so grand an 
improvement on the common variety that we 
have discarded it altogether, now growing only 
the Pearl, which we offer at the price of the 
old sort. It is robust, the flowers larger, and 
the habit much better than the old sort. Per 
dozen $1.00: each, . 10 
Solatium capsicastrum, Jerusalem Cherry.) An 
old plant, coming again into popular favor. It has 
bright red berries, which hang on all winter. 25 cts. 
Capsicastrum var., a variegated leaved variety, the 
edges of the leaves bordered with creamy white. 
25 cents each. 
Jasminoides, a beautiful climber for the house in 
winter^ requiring but little care and producing 
clusters of white flowers. 25 cents. 
The Solanums are mostly nice compact plants, and 
desirable on account of their fine scarlet fruit which re¬ 
main on the plant a long time.
