RIVINA. 
scarlet berries, being partly concealed by the Ferns, 
add much to their beauty. 
Rivina humilis, . 25 
Rivina humilis is a beautiful little pot plant, with 
racemes of small white flowers, followed by scarlet ber¬ 
ries ; in bloom and fruit the entire year. It is also a 
very pleasing and suitable plant for ferneries, the bright 1 
ROSES. 
The Plumbagos are desirable on account of their beau¬ 
tiful shades of blue, a color by no means too common 
among our flowering plants. 25 cents each. 
Plumbago Capensis, very pretty plants, producing 
large heads of light blue flowers. 
Larpentae, dwarf ; indigo blue ; fine for bedding out ; 
quite hardy. 
PLUMBAGO. 
No garden, however small, is complete without Roses. 
The Rose stands, as it has for years, Queen of the 
Flowers. With a proper selection of kinds, we can 
have our Roses from June till heavy frosts come with 
withering touch. In the list below we give the ever- 
blooming class, comprising Teas, Noisettes, Chinas and 
Bourbons. Even so far North as this they give us bet¬ 
ter satisfaction than any other class of Roses,—first, on 
account of their free blooming qualities ; then their 
exquisite fragrance and delicate colors. Some are 
almost hardy here, and do well if slightly protected with 
leaves or straw, while a little further south they stand the 
winters with no protection whatever If the plants are 
taken up in the fall and trimmed back, and put in earth 
in a box, in a cool cellar, with just water enough to keep 
them from shriveling, they will come out fresh in the 
spring, and start into bloom in a very short time. As 
pot plants in winter, varieties should be selected that are 
adapted to the purpose. These should be kept in pots 
through the summer, in a partly shaded situation, care 
being taken that they do not root through the bottom of 
the pot. Keep the buds picked off through the summer. 
All Roses delight in a rich, generous soil. 
MONTHLY ROSES—Fine strong plants, 20 cents 
each ; $2.00 per dozen, except where noted, or we 
will send one dozen varieties of our own selection 
for $1.50. 1
