notice in the plant line has caused one-
half the commotion that this wonderful Lemon
has. It is a true ever-bearing variety. Ona
plant six feet high, no less than eighty-nine of
these ponderous Lemons were growing at one
time. It was a beautiful sight to see. The tree
was blooming,and atthe same time had fruit
in all stages of development, from the size of a
pea up tothe ripe fruit, showing it to be a true
ever-bearer. Fruit has been taken from this
tree weighing overfourpounds. The Lemons
have very thin rind for such large fruit. It is
the juiciest of all Lemons,makes delicious lem-
onade, and for culinary purposes cannot be ex-
celled. It is not uncommon to make twelve
lemon pies from one lemon. I have secured the
true stock from the Good & Reese Co., of our
city, of this ponderous Lemon, and guarantee
the trees to produce the same large fruit. No
budding or grafting necessary. PONDEROSA
LEMON is sure to become popular when it is
known. It fruits when quite small. Nice young
plants, 50 cents each.

American Wonder Lemon.—Not nearly so
large or good as Ponderosa. 20 cents each.

Lemon of Sicily.—(Dwarvf/.) Thisisas much
of a wonder as the Dwarf Orange. It bears
Lemons the freest of any variety in cultivation.
A handsome companion for the Dwarf Orange,
as it bears fruit when quite small. Fruit is
edible. Flowers are as fragrant asthe Orange
blossoms. 10 cents each; large, strong plants,
40 cents each. :

Acalypha Sanderii.

This plant goes under various names. such as
“Chenille Plant ” ‘Philippine Medusa,” “Com-
met Plant,’? ‘‘Dewey’s Favorite Flower,”

“Bloody Cat Tail,’’? etc. Without doubt the

most sensational new plant introduced for many
years, and one of the most striking flowering
ornamental plants we have ever seen. It is of
strong growth, with large, dark green leaves
from each axil, of from one to two feet long
and nearly one inch thick. Rope-like spikes of
velvety-crimson flowers are

simply requiring a warm temperature to develop its full beauty.

Justicia Carnea.

Brazilian Plume Plant.

Perhaps no
plants hive at-

attention in the
last two years

Plume Piant.
The plant isa
strong, rapid
grower, and
throws up long
stems, on which &

fine, plume-like
pink flowers,
the endsof each
petal drooping
in a most char-
ming manner. %
When plants
are but a few
months old they

well either for
house or out-
door culture,
10 cents each.

JUSTICIA CARNEA, '

Agapanthus Umbellatus.

Within the last year or two a wonderful re-
vial of interest in the Dahlia has resulted im
tigeir now being important rivals of those

dection of the dwarf profuse blooming varie-

Wifliam Agnew.—The grandest red Cactus Dahlia ever pro-
duced, and oue that will eventually find its way into every
collection. The flowers are of the largest size, sometimes
measuring more than seven inches in diameter. Always
full to the center, of perfect form, and of exquisite quality
and finish, while the color is the richest shade ot intense, daz-
zling red. The petals are very long, the outer rows being
beautifully twisted. Certainly a grand variety.

of ali pure white Dahlias, Itis extremely early, a profuse
and constant bloomer, a strong. vigorous grower, of dwarf,
branching habit. Will produce double the quantity of flow-
ers of any other white variety, verv double and merlece shape.
It is far ahead of any other white Dahlia.

by ali who have scen it to be the finest yellow Cactus Dahlia

ever produced. The flowers are large, five to six inches in+

diameter, perfectly full to the center, while the outer petals

Water Lily. suggested the name of Nymphea. This varicty,

all things considered, is the finest in the entire nist.

GOLDEN BEDDER.

ASPARAGUS PLUMOSUS NANUS.

The Climbing Lace Fern.

This graceful climber has, to a great extent, taken the place of
the once popular Smilax in all fine decorations. It possesses the
advantage of being much more graceful, its foliage being finer
than that of the most delicate Fern, and will last for weeks after
being cut, the whole plant being of a bright, cheerful green. It
is an excellent house plant, succeeding under almost any cendi-
tion. 16 cents each for fine plants.

ASPARAGUS SPRENGERII.

A most desirable new species, especially useful to grow asa
pot plant for decorative purposes, or for Pes in suspendes
baskets. The fronds are frequently four feet long, of a rich
shade of green, and most useful for cutting, retaining their fresh-
ness for weeks after being cut. It will make an excellent howse
plant, as it withstandsdry atmosphere, and will succeed ia al-
most any situation. 16 cents each.

The two Asparagus for 25 cents.

ASPARAGUS SPRENGERII,

A hardy perennial plant growing eight feet high, branching
freely, and bearing by the hundreds, on long, grace'ul stems.
exquisite double blossoms of the brightest goiden color,ana as
large as Cactus Dahlias. Mr. Wm. FilIconer, the best authority
en plantsin this country, saysof it: **When I saw 'he double-flow-
ering form of Rudbeckia Laciniatain b.oom in your grounds last
year, I was amazed, fors otwithsitanding my long aid intimate
acquaintance with plantsI had never before seen a double-flow-
ering Rudbeckia, and I was delighted with the fulness and gor-
geousness of the blossoms and their clear, bright yellow color.
You gave me a plant last Spring, and it was set out in good gar-
den ground. it grew vigorously, and threw up s‘rong, branching
flower stems six feet high, laden with sheaves of golden bios-
soms as large as fair Chrysanthemums, and all having an ele-
gant, graccful appearance, without anv of the stiffnessin habit
or blossom peculiar to sunflowers. Many eminent florists and
amateurs have seen it here, and all admired it. As cut flowers
the blossoms last well. In fine. Il unhesitatingly regard it as the
most desirable introduction among hardy perennials since we
got Clematis Paniculata.” It is the most effective flowering
plant for August and September in cultivation. This plant is
entirely hardy. and grows into beauty each year. Do not fail to
try it. 10 cents each.

Palms are now indispensable for all decorations, whether in or outdoors, and for tropical
bedding. They are easily grown, and increase their value two to fourfold every year.
NOTICE.—It may be well to state here that young Palms do not resemble the illus-
p trations given, as they do not show their character leaves until the second Tee so that

when you get your small Palm plants and see long, narrow leaves instead of the charac-
ter leaves as shown in the illustration, do not think the wrong kind has been sent you. Should you order the larger size, the charac-
ter leaves will be developed and answer the illustration as given here. ;
The following is a select list of rare and handsome varieties that can be recommended for apartments, conservatories, decora-
€ions or vase plants during Summer, They are all grand plants and of the easiest culture.

WASHINGTON FILIFERA.

A beautiful
Palm is one of
the finest addi-
tions that can
be made to any
collection of
plants, but the
high prices of
the best varie-
ties have pre-
vented most
people from
possessing one.

hen again,
there are few
of the best sorts
which succeed

window cul- } | ny,
ture. It is, W/WNN \s\ ANWAR all
therefore, with Na Capi atiitg
pleasure that AAS VINDDND,

am now WASHINGTONIA FILIFERA,
able to offer
one of the most beautiful sorts in existence, and one thatis hardy
and robust enough to succeed anywhere, at a price which brings
it within the reach of all. It has elegant dark-green, fan-shaped
leaves, from which hang thread-like filaments, as seen in the
cut, The plant is a compact grower, well adapted to pot cul-
ture, succeeding in any Situation, and with any treatment that
will keep a Geranium alive, It will flourish in any window for
anybody, making a grand ornament during Winter, and in Sum-
mer it can adorn a veranda, or be placed about the garden or
yard, or used for a center in a vase, basket or flower bed—always
ornamental anywhere. All Palms of the fan-leaved sorts have,
when young, leaves of a long, narrow shape, developing the
round, fan-shaped ones as they grow older, Therefore, when
you get your plant and see long leaves instead of round ones, do
not think that a wrong sort has been sent you, I have none but
small plants. 10 cents each.

LIVISTONIA ROTUNDIFOLIA.

The Miniature Fan Palm.

Resembling Latania Borbonica, but very much more dwary
and compact in habit, and having much smaller and handsomer
leaves, which are of the most perfect shape. The leaves are cir-
cular in form,only about eight to ten inches in diameter, and
deeply toothed. Very small plants throw up an unusual number
of these beautiful leaves, furnishing and finishing the plant,

Della Fox.—Its coloris almost indescribable. Of a rosy-orange
shade, striped and flaked with carmine, never bursts its calyx,
is very free and early flowering, and can always be cut with a
long stem, a most desirable entice in the colored Carnation
nowadays.

Bon Ton.—This is by far the darkest Carnation ever seen, and
at the same time the most abundant bioomer, Brilliant dark
red, shaded with the richest maroon, fringed petals, nearly every
flower being onalong stem. This variety surpasses in richness
of color the most perfect Jacqueminot Roses.

Abutidatce.—Flowers very large and perfectin form. Color

a bright, rosy-pink, with salmon shading when the flowers are ,

fully expanded. A very healthy grower and remarkably free
bloomer. Plant dwarf, growing about fourteen inches high,
This we consider one of the best pink varieties ever offered, and
an excellent variety for pot culture.

Alasta.—This beautiful white Carnation is remarkable for its
extremely vigorous Snowe, very large flowers, perfect shape,
purest white. Indeed, for size and freedom of bloom, purity of
color, which is immaculate, sweetness of perfume that is de-
licious, vigorous growth, this variety has no equal. The best
white by far out of a dozen varieties we have of that color.

Armazitidy.—The ‘Pink of Perfection.” Probably the most
beaututul Carnation yet introduced,and must become very popu-
lar. Flowers are a pure satiny-white, and marked and shaded
with epevieintnecod size, perfect form, never bursts. Itis the
strongest and sweetest-scented Carnation we know. A perfect
beauty.

Field of Gold.—This is a pure yellow Carnation, of strong
growth and very profuse flowering. There is no stripe at allin
it, being a straight out-and-out deep, rich golden-yeliow, with-
out any color whatever, under any circumstances. ‘Lhe florets
are large and double, as in Buttercup, and, taken all in all,it
is the very best yellow Carnation out.

Fairy Priticess.—This is the most beautiful Carnation we
know of. Tne tlowers are very large and perfectin shape The
color is a pure snow-white, delicately penciled with bright crim-
son. Eiegantly fringed. A charming variety.

NEW HARDY PINK, HER MAJESTY.

The Carnation of late has become the most popular cut flower
with the exception of the Rose, and the one drawback toits cul-
tivation by the masses of flower lovers is the fact that it is not
quite hardy. I have at last a perfect substitute for it in this
grand and new hardy Fink, one of the finest novelties of the
century. Itis quite hardy, needs no protection, and blooms pro-
fusely in the month of May and June. The flowers are pure
white in color, very double, borne on long, stiff stems, and pos-
sessing the exquisite clove-scented fragrance of the true Carna-

ions, while it rivals them in size and substance. It is a wonder-

1 bloomer, producing immense masses of flowers. You will be

New Dwarf Calla Lily, Little Gem.—It is my good fortune
to have come into possession of this most valuable of all
Callas. The following facts will convince any one of its
great superiority overthe old sort. Of dwarf habit; the
same plant will grow and bloom for years without once

L ceasing, and the quantity of bloom which a good plant will
produce is astonishing. A large plantis hardly ever with-
out one or more flowers. All in all, itis one of the most de-
sirable plants I have ever offered. 20 cents each.

The Black Calla.—Its flowers are enormous, say, a foot in
length. Color aclear coal black, so intense that it really
shows a brilliancy and, as may well be imagined, it isa
flower of most striking oddity and beauty. The bulbs are
large, and should be potted inthe Fall, and when growth
commences set in a window. After blooming, the foliage
will die down, and the bulb should be kept dry for replant-

orous grower, making hand-

flowers are of the very larg-
est size, pure white in color,

The Great Rose for House Culture, SANGUINEA, or OTA-
HEITE ROSE.— his oid iashioned Rose has been practically
ignored in the past twenty years,except in certain localities
where its worth and beauty have been known. It belongs to
the Centzfolia Muscosa section of Roses, and is the one Rose
that is eminently adapted to house culture,as it thrives un-
der almost any conditions and surroundings. It is the only
Rose in our whole list that will grow luxuriantly and bloom
freely under adverse conditions. The foliageis small and of
a reddish cast, when growing rapidly. The flowers are
semi-double, of the most intense velvety-crimson,very bright
and brilliant and freely produced. Besides its adaptation to
house culture, it is grand for bedding out for a mass of
bloom. It is employed in the East, around Long Branch,
Newport,and the suburbs of the large cities by the hundreds
of thousands for this ‘purpose. Be sure and try this Rose,
either indoors or out. You cannot help but succeed with it.
We guarantee our stock true. 10 cents each; $1.00 per doz-
en: large two-year-old plants. 50 cents eavh. s

MONTHLY CABBAGE, aGratid Hardy Rose.—We doubt if
there is one personin athousand that was raised in the rural
districts or in the small towns back in the fifties or sixties
that does not remember the old Cabbage Rose of our moth-
ers’ and grandmothers’ gardens. They could hardly keep
house without one or more of this favorite Rose planted in
their yards. When they moved these plants were carefully
dug up and transported with their other effects. They
could not think of leaving behind their favorite Rose, that
gave them so much real pleasure. The old-fashioned Cab-
bage Rose bloomed but once a year, in June. The Monthly
Cabbage Rose is a continuous bloomer all through the Sum-
mer. The color is a bright pink, lovely both in bud and open
flower, both being large and double to the center. The
fragrance is a true Damask scent,and is simply delicious. A
grand Rose. 16 cents each; large two-year-old plants, 50
cents each. euie

CORONET.— This is the sweetest, largest, and freest blooming
Hybrid Tea Rose in cultivation. It is a cross between that su-
perb variety, Paul Neyron, and Bon Silene, two grand old favor-
ites. Coronet is a true ever-blooming Hybrid Tea, identical in
form and size with Paul Neyron. No description or illustration
can dojustice to the remarkable beauty and splendor of its flow-
ers, They are grand inevery way. From the time the plantis
four inches high it blooms steadily, bearing in unbroken continu-
ity, on good, stiff stems, magnificent large flowers that frequent-
ly measure from four to six inches in diameter. The form is
full, deep and wonderfully double. It is full to the center, and
when entirely open the flowers do not look unlike Pzonies. This
resemblance is made all the more striking by the peculiar color
which is absolutely unlike any Rose we know. In the bud the
color is a deep, rich carmine, which, as the flowers open, lightens
to. a soft,clear pink, with each petal distinctly edged with si:very-
gray. The effect is beautiful. The fragrance is simply de-
licious. In flower and foliage it resembles Paul Neyron, while
in vigor of growth the Bon Silene blood is shown. Itisa strong,

DAVID PRADLE. -One of the most charming Roses we have
“and one that wii surely become prominent for Summer bedding
or indoor pianting when it becomes better known. While this
is an old-time Rose, with good reason for its oblivion, as the
stock which has been generally sent out was not true to name,
and was very inferior 1f not an almost worthless variety, we
have just recently secured direct trom Europe, the true stock.
Its habit is perfection, of strong, upright growth, with the clean-
est and healthiest foliage that 1s almost impervious to disease.
The flowers are produced in*wonderful profusion on long,
straight shoots, deliciously fragrant and of the largest size,
double to the center, and of the most beautiful form. The color-
ing is an exquisite blending of lilac and rose, with a delicate
and rich crimson center; beautiful in the bud state, but particu
larly so when the bud is unfolding into the open flower. Then
the beauty of the glints of color and the shading are almost in-
describable, and must be seen to be appreciated Don’t fail to
secur2 one or more of this beautiful Rose. 20 cents each; large

two-year-old plants, 50 cents.

LADY DOROTHEA.—This Rose was raised by Mr. John Dun-
lop, ot Toronto, Canada, and introduced by him last year. Itis

size of that grand variety; has the colorsof a beautiful sunset.
Will not disappoint you, 26 cents each; large two-yesr-old plants,

THE GRAND NEW ROSE, “LIBERTY.”—Never has nature
yielded to the painstaking hybridist and plant raiser a more
beautiful or more satisfying color than that seen in the new
Hybrid Tea Rose “Liberty,’? which to-day marks the limit of

lorious deep, yet bright coloration in a family by no means

eficient in warm, rich hues of crimson-red. Even as the ruby
flashings of generous wine have been an jnspiration to verse
writers for ages.so are we now fired to enthusiasm when con-
templating the rich, liquid ruby hue of “Liberty.” Most nearly
; approached by Meteor in color, this newcomer surpasses that

standard variety in purity, being without the tendency to blacken
that Meteor exhibits, and also the blue cast sometimes seen on
_ fully expanded petals of Meteor has not been detected in any de-

gree whatever upon a single one of many critically examined
blossoms of “Liberty.’? To the practical grower, too, this
novelty will surely appeal because of the greater ease of cultiva-
tion, in that it does not exact a temperature in excess of that
generally accorded to other Roses when grown under glass,
There can be little doubt but that ‘“‘Liberty” is destined to
rapidly become the one dark-flowered Rose tor both commercial
ane private uses. Will be ready to send outin March. 60 cents
each.

CLARA BARTON. Gratd New Coustant-blooming Rose.
The introducer says that this Rose attracted so much attention
and proved of such remarkable beauty and value that he re-
que-ted permission of Miss Clara Barton, president of the world’s

ed Cross Society,to give it her name in remembrance of the
noble work she has done in the cause of humanity all over the
world. This permission was kindly granted, coupled with the
suggestion that the Rose be called simply ‘‘Clara Barton.
The color is a rare and exquisite shade of delicate amber pink,
entirely different from any other Rose with which we are ac-
quainted. The flowers are medium size, double to the center,
delightfully fragrant, and each one is set in with a lovely rosette
of leaves completely encircling the flower, and making a bonquet
ofitself. Itis a constant bloomer. An exquisite Rose in every
way. If you want a good Rose,try this one. 25 cents éach.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND.—(Or Climbing Marie Guiliot.)
Originated in Houston, Texas, and we offered it the first mg
last year under the name of Climbing Marie Guillot. We tav
since learned that the Rose is known in Texas as Presiden
Cleveland, and to avoid confusion in names we have named i¢
President Cleveland. It is a cross between Marie Guillot and
Devoniensis. We place a high value upoz its worth, because it
is the offspring of one of the most valuable and famous Tea
Roses for open ground cultivation, The flowers are magnifi-
cently made, extra large, deep and double. The buds are par-
ticularly beautiful; fragrance delightful. The col r is pure
snow-white, sometimes faintly tinged with pale yellow Inevery
way identical with Marie Guillot, except that this variety isa
rapid climber, throwing up shoots ten to fifteen feet high ina
single season, It blooms continuously the first year. In fact,it
commencés blooming when in small pots, and continues through-
out the season, This Rose will be a glorious variety in the
South, where it will undoubtedly equal Marechal Neil. Hardy
in the North with careful protection. Strong flowering plants,
26 cents each; large two-year-old plants, 60 cents each,

MAID OF HONOR.—This was named by the introducer Miss
Ciara Barton, but had to be changed for the reason that another
Rose had been given that name. Itis a sport from Bridesmaid,
and is several shades deeper than that variety. Its connection
with the Mermet family of Roses would indicate its worth. 16
cents each; large two-year-old plants, 50 cents each.

The First Pure White Hardy Ever-blooming Climbing
Rose, MRS. ROBERT PEARY, or.Climbing Kaiserin Au=
gusta Victoria. This is without doubt tne grandest of all
white climbing Roses. Itis the first and only pure white hardy
ever-blooming climbing Rose, and as such meets a demand that
has never before been supplied. Sma!l plants bloom continually
the first season, just asits parent, Kaiserin Augusta Victoria,
does. It is as hardy as any Hybrid Perpetual or Moss Rose, and
will withstand, unprotected, the most severe Winters. It isa
strong,rapid grower, without a weak spot, growing to perfec-

‘grand. They are the equal of the finest and most beautiful cut-

flower Roses. Of splendid substance. They are extra large,
full, deep and double, and are produced on long, stiff stems, like
a forcing or cut-flower Rose. The buds are long and pointed,
exquisitely modeled and gracefully finished. Both in bud and

scribed as a Scarlet-crimson, shaded buff. Large and full.

Rose’s favor to say that it is an exact counterpart of that grand
variety, Perle des Jardins, except that the color is pure white,

~NEW JAPANESE RAMBLER ROSE

Rose growers everywhere will hail with delight the announcement that I have to offer
them as companions to the famous Crimson Rambler three other distinct colors of

Rambler Roses.

They are all hardy, and the most charming of all Climbing Roses.

There is no Rose of any class or kind that will compare with Crimson Rambler for

beauty in any respect. It is a gem. 6

THE FOUR RAMBLER ROSES, ALL DIFFERENT COLORS, SENT FOR ONLY 35 CENTS.

LARGE TWO-YEAR-OLD PLANTS, THE FOUR FOR $1.60.

NEW YELLOW
RAMBLER.

AGLAIA.—Rosarians have
been fur many years cross-
ing or hybridizing various
Roses with a view to obtain-
ing a hardy yellow climbing
Rose, but the combination of
climbing habit and yellow
coloring with hardiness was
ene that it seemed impossi-
ble to obtain,and wasalmost
despaired of, The Yellow
Rambler has been found to
successfully withstand, with-
out protection, a continued
temperature of from zero to
two degrees below, which
proves it to be far hardier
than any other yellow climb-
ing Rose yet introduced, and
I Believe that by laying the
plants down in the Winter it
can be successfully grownin
nearly all the northern parts
of the United States; in fact,
anywhere that other Roses
succeed at all well. Did I
say nothing more about the
Rose, I think that this would
be sufficient to establish its
value, for what lover of Ro-
sesin the North has not be-
wailed the severity of cli-
mate which nearly deprives
his garden of the most at-

-,
1 ——

buildings, trellises, etc., it
cannot be excelled. The
flowers are produced in great
pyramidal panicles, or truss-
es, each carrying from thirty
to forty blooms, the individt-
al flowers measuring about
one to one and a half inches
in diameter. It is covered
with flowers from the ground
toits very top. Itis hardyin
every latitude yet tried as far
north as the Jakes. As a
decorative pot plant it can-
not be excelled, I can rec-
ommend this novelty in the
strongest manner as being a
new Rose of great impor-
tance and value. A corre-
spondent of the Zozdon Gar-
den writes in the issue of
July 14,1894: ‘* With me at
this date (July 6) this Rose
is grand. I have a dozen
large plants en_ prepared
land or turf. I did not prune
much, merely shortening
back and placing stakes to
support the long growths. I
gave a liberal mulch earlyin
the Spring, with the result
that the growths are very
strong, and the clusters of
bright crimson flowers at
this date are beautiful. On
one shoot alone Icountedover
three hundred blooms.” 10

tractive color of all—yellow.
The flowers are borne in im-
mense clusters, after the
same manner as the Crimson Rambler, often as many as one
hundred and fifty blossoms in a bunch, and the trusses have the
same handsome pyramidal shape as those of Crimson Rambler.
The color is a decided yellow. 16 cents each; large two-year-old
Plauts, 50%cents each.

CAUTION: There are other soecalled Yellow Ramblers
that dobuot possess atty features that would entitle
them to be coupled with the Rambler tamily, lacking
hardiness, vigor of crowth, and the habit of blooming in
trusses like Crimson Rambler; therofore, do not ac-
cept atiy unless it is LAMBERT’S YELLOW RAMBLER.
Do tot miss getting this beautiful new Rose- ITIS©NE

Bler Hous Price, 10 cents each; large two-year-old plants, 5@

mense clusters of pure white Roses, perfectly double, of delight-
ful fragrance, and of animmaculate white, It is without ques-
tion the best climbing Rose extant. Price, 10 cents each: large
two-year-old plants, 50 cents each.

Polwantha, or Fairy Roses.

NOTICE.—I cordially recommend these exquisite Ever-Blooming Fairy Roses. They are of a shrubby,
compact growth, bloom profusely all through the season, and are very desirable for bedding, as well
as for edging borders,etc. They are moderately hardy, but should have a covering of leaves or litter,

just before Winter begins.

European horticul-
tural journals, two of

rom James Veitch &
Son, England, which
in itself is sufficient

value. It is certain

the rich and varied flora of our gardens. It outshines all the
Spireas in brilliancy of color—a bright crimson. It 1s a rare
gem.” It makes a low, compact bush, fifteen to eighteen
nches high, and is covered nearly the whole growing season
with large umbels of deep crimson flowers, which measure
pearly a foot across. When scarcely three inches high it be-
gins to bloom and thereafter is seldom out of flower. Asa

iter atid Winter.

A beautiful continuous flowering new plant, with pure white,
sweet pea-like flowers. produced in sprays of from twelve to
twenty blossoms each.

The pinnated, feathery,
fern-like foliage is a
cheerful light green, and

easy culture, growing in
almost any light position.
Its great freedom of
bloom, being seldom
without flowers, and the
grace, purity and beauty
of its flowers, and the
neat habit and fine ap-

pearance of the whole
plant will undoubtedly
make it one of the most
popular plants in cultiva-

for cutting. Owing to
its ease of culture and
beauty of both plant and
flower, it is one of the
most valuable and desir-
able home plants that
has yet appeared. 10 cents each

New Swaittsonia, Spleudetis.—Same as the above, with

SWAINSONIA ALBA.

_ bright scarlet towers. ‘Fhisis the only true scarlet variety. 10 |
-cents each. |

PLUMBAGOS.

Sanguittea.—The Piumbagos are very desirable plants for bed-
ding or house culture, and are admired by all for their ele-
Fant trusses of bloom and the delicate colors of their flowers.

he hght blue and white varieties are well-known favorites,
but with the new variety, Sanguinea, we have something
that is entirely distinct and the prettiest of all Plumbagos.
The trusses of bloom are larger than in the older varieties,
often measuring ten inches in length, and of the loveliest
bnght pink or deep rose. Order one and be surprised. 26
cents each.

Capensis, Flora Alba.—This is a splendid novelty. The exact
counterpart of Piumbago Capensis except in color, which in

leading new plants of the year. Do not confound this with
the old worthless white, One of tne most satisfactory bed-

has the most peculiar shade of blue of any flower in cuitiva-
HOR Always in bloom and an elegant bedder. 16 cents
eac

Lady Larpent.—This beautiful variety of Plumbago was first
popularly introduced 1n 1890. Since that time it Lasso thor-
oughly pleased all who have planted it achieved such great
popularity, which, coupled with our own thorough tests and
observations, demonstrates that it is unquestionably the most
distinct and valuable hardy herbaceous plant now in cultiva-
tion. The plants are strong, upright in habit, growing toa
height of twelve to fifteen inches 1n compact clumps, and
from the middle of July until severe frost are covered with
lovely rich violet-blue-colored flowers borne inclose terminal
heads. (We had thousands in bioom on our grounds the
past season as late as October 25th.) The foliage is unique,
finely serrated and fringing the stems. We heartily recom-
mend this fine variety for edging sidewalks, beds or bordere,
or single specimens set in mixed flower vases or beds, where
they appear in lovely contrast with other flowers. 10 cents
each.

New Hardy Ever-blooming Shrub,
HYPERICUM MOSERIANUM.

One of the very best herbaceous plants of recent introduction.
The habit of the plant 1s free and graceful. It produces long,
slender, much-branched stems, leafy to the base, and ail droop-
ing toward the ends, apparently from the weight of the flowers
and buds, although the flowers face, so that none of their beauty
is lost. Itis marvelously free-flowering, of large size, measuring
from two to two and a half inches in diameter. In color, a
rich, golden-yellow, which 12 still more effective by the numer-
ous yellow stamens and crimson anthers, and blooms continu-
ously the entire season. It 1s perfectly hardy, forming a bush
about three feet high. Strong plants, 35 cents each.

dens, and also a favorite house plant in the North. Has deep
green foliage similar to the Camellia. The white flowers, al-
though small, are produced in great profusion, and emit the most
pleasing fragrance. It has been well said that each individual

blooming period begins in the Fall and lasts for several months.
It is of easy culture, and especially desirable as a window plant.
40 cents each: three for $1.00.

FUCHSIAS.

FUCHSIA, STORM KING.

Double Euchsia, Storm Kitig.—This grand plant is of the
most beautiful habit. The branches, drooping as they do,
lend the plant a charming grace which is rarely found. The
buds, for two weeks before they expand, are balls of glow-
ing scarlet-crimson. The flowers continue to grow larger
and larger after they expand. The sepals are of the same
glowing scarlet-crimson as the buds, while the larger double
corolla is of a delicate waxy whiteness, elegantly penciled
with a deep and bright crimson.

Phenomenai,—tThe largest Fuchsia that I have ever seen. The
tube and sepals are bright coral-red, beautifully formed.
‘The corolla is neatly two and a half inches across.

Mottarch.—This new Fuchsia is by far the largest of all the
single-flowering varieties. It is an exceptionally strong
grower, bearing immense blooms of a very dark purple. It
ranks among the singles the same as Phenomenal does
among the doubles.

corolla violet and dark purple. One of the most beautiful
and distinct of the Fuchsias.

Black Prittice.—This is, without question, the very finest Fuch-
sia grown for the amateur tocultivate. It makes a shapely
bush, is robust in growth, free from disease and insects, and
is probably the freest in blooming. I have seen specimen
plants six feet in height and four feet across loaded with
thousands of its bright buds and blossoms of a beautiful
waxy-carmine or pink color,

Speciosa.—Corolla scarlet, sepals blush. One of the very best
blooming varieties for either Summer or Winter.

White Giant.—One of the largest and best white Fuchsias
grown. Hine form, very double, color a pure white, and su-
perior to most of the white Fuchsias. I find it to be an ex-
cellent Winter bloomer. It gives me pleasure to offer this
grand Fuchsia.

Enfant Prodigy.—Rich crimson sepals, corolla deep purple.
The earliest and freest blooming Fuchsia out.

Clara Belle.—A splendid variety, with large, handsome foliage
ot a delightful green tint. The flowers are single, of unusual
size, sepals dark-red, corolla rose-vermilion, tinted violet.

Jupiter._New. One of the prettiest of all Fuchsias. Large,
double flowers, of a clear magenta, with dark crimson veins,
Don’t fail to try it.

fine variety, Colonel Dominie. A wondertully free bloomer

the purest white.

delicacy. Can be bloomed readily in Winter. Give the plant a
half-shaded position. 10 cents each.

CROTONS,

Nothing can excel the
beauty and richness of col-
oring that is found in this
class of plants. They are
beautiful pot plants for the
conservatory, making very
handsome specimens for

purposes, and are now used
extensively as bedding
plants, for which purpose
they are exceptionally well
adapted. They should be
planted in full sun in a po-
sition where they can be
liberally supplied with wa-
ter, which develops - the
most wonderful coloring in
the foliage. Undoubtedl
the most interesting an
showiest bedding in my
Springfield yards the past

Beautiful Ferns.

The popularity of Ferns has increased wonderfully in the past
few years, and they are now indispensable in all choice floral
decorations, and are especially valuable for ferneries, for room

fronds are of a dark
green color, very
rich, of upright

sufficient arch in
them to make them

culture or for win-
dow gardening we

AGB ee Exaltata Bostotiieusis.—(The Boston Sword

e7m.) In the vicinity ot Boston no other plant is used so ex-
tensively as this graceful Nephrolepsis, which differs from the
ordinary Sword Fern in having much longer fronds, which fre-
quently attain a length of six feet. These arch and droopover

_ very gracefully, on account of which it is frequently called the
Fountain Fern. This drooping habit makes it an excellent
plant to grow as a single specimen on a table or pedestal.
Good plants, 25 cents each; strong plants. 50 cents each. i

Lygodum Scatdens.—(Te Japanese Climbing Fern.)—This
makes a growth of from eight to fifteen feet, and is a very

Adiantum Cuteatum.—(Vardexn Hair Fern.) This is the
beautiful Maiden Hair Fern which the florists employ in so
many ways, either as pot plants or cut fronds. Itis very light,
airy and graceful. Don’t confound it with the old common
Maiden Hair Fern. 20 cents each.

ern, admirably adapted for hanging baskets. 20 cents each.

deepest green, grows rapidly, and the easiest of all to culti-

variety, distinctly showing the clear white variegation. Very
easily grown. 25 cents each.

light green tronds, with a broad band of silver-white down the
center of each. Very distinct and beautiful. 365 cents each.

FERN BALLS. THE WONDERFUL JAPANESE FERN
BALLS, DAVALLIA BULLATA NAGAHA.

This novelty, from Japan, we take great pleasure in introduc-
ing as one of the most satisfactory house Ferns ever offered.
One was started last January, and its beautiful leaves and color
attracted the attention of all who saw it until August, when it
was placed in the cellar to rest. The center is moss-covered
with Fern rootsin a very ingenious manner, looking like a ball
of small roots twisted together. After watering, they start into
life, andin a short time are covered with a mass of beautiful
green foliage. If desired, they may be allowed todry up, which
1s very convenient when a person goes on a Summer vacation.
They may be started again by simply watering as before. When
growing they should be watered two or three times each week.
If desired they may be cut in halves and placed in a Fern dish.
The ball, before it is started, is six to ten inches in diameter.
We only nandle the ‘NAGAHA”’ long-leaved variety, the
common variety only produces short fronds. $1.00 each, Can
only be sent by express,

colors,in great trusses many of them beautifully shaded and
marked with very distinct, clear, bright eyes. They require no
care but dividing and resetting every second year. Their vigor-
ous growth and freedom of bloom make them very useful plants,
while they are unexcelled in beauty. The improvement made
in this beautiful class of plants is perhaps more marked than.n
any othr section of the hardy, herbaceous family Instead of
the thin flowers, which were limited to lilac and white colors, I
now have gorgeous colors, combining all the different tnts of
rose, carmine, red, and purple, to say nothing of pure whites and
salmon, with their distinct eyes. Perfectly hardy everywhere.

a dark green ground. A rare and
beautiful plant which should be
abundantly grown for positions
out of the reach of sunlight, where
other plants will not thrive. When

once apparent. It has a singular
beauty for decorative purposes
which other plants do not possess
and is useful both Winter an
Summer. Though grown mainly
for the beauty ot its foliage, it is
by no means an insignificant flow-
ering plant. It blooms usually
during May and June, sending up
great plume-like spikes a foot or
more in length. The flowers are
numerous and composed of iong,
narrow petals, which recurve
gracefully, and are of a creamy- -
white color. It is difficult to find

ot fleecy white. These clusters are borne on long, slender stems,
which stand out boldly from between the glossy-green leaves,
and the gentlest breeze causes wavy crests of white to flow
gently over their surface. The fragrance is delicious, resembling
the English Hawthorne blossoms, and is so subtle and penetrat-
ing that a large plant in bloom will fill the air with fragrance. It
begins to bloom late in August or early in September, at a time
when most other hardy climbers are out of bloom, an inestimable
advantage. It is a strong, rapid grower, quickly peer a
height of from fifteen to twenty feet,and spreading out when

ais of the soil,and spreads their lustrous tints over its leaves.
Give them a soil composed of rich loam, woods earth and sharp
sand. They require a warm atmosphere and a shady situation.
Suitable for wardian cases. Do not allow the sun to strike the
leaves while wet, and do not overwater. I have twenty-five
leading and distinct kinds. ‘They are the handsomest of all Be-
gonias, and most admired by all. Try a set and see how pretty

Rubra.—lIf you can have only one Begonia, letit be a Rubra. It
is so fast-growing thatit willin a year or two reach the top
of your window, sending up heavy, stiff canes an inchin
diameter, and rising beside hei will grow strong, slender,
branches, gracefully drooping under heavy waxen leaves
and pendant panicles of coral-colored flowers as large as a
hand. Mc<dium-sized plants are frequently seen with more
than trventy such panicles at atime. Among the individual
pete you will find three distinct forms growing side by
side.

Alba Perfecta Grandi-<-'
flora.—A Begonia that
has never been appreci-
ated asit should be, as it
‘is really elegant, and I
doubt if there is a white-
flowered variety that
equals it. The foliage
resembles Rubra in
shape, but is a lighter
green, while the flower
panicles are much hand-
somer. A pure white-
flowering Begonia.

Thurstonii.—Bright red
foliaye and veinings un-
derneath the leaves, and
bright metallic-green,

ounger growth on top.

body of the leafis a dark-green, studded with bright silvery

Folicsa.—This is one of the most graceful of all the Begonias.
The foliage is small and fleshy Has the smallest leaves ot
allthe Begonias. Bright pink flowers

Nitida Rosea.—This love'y Begonia has shiny-green leaves
that appear as though they had been varnished. Rosy-biush
flowers that are lovely.

Fuchsoides Coccitiea.—Elegant free-bl oming variety. It re-
sembies Hybrid Multifiora in growth. Flowers a bright

FLOWERING BEGONIA.

TUBEROUS-ROOTED BEGONIAS,

These are among the very handsomest of our Summer bloom-
ing plants, flowering throughout the seison, and as fine and va-
tied in their colors as the Geranium family. They are splendid
bedders, delighting in a light soil of woods earth, very old cow
manure and sharp sand. See that the bed is in partial shade,
and you will be delighted with the results. In the South, or
where they cannot be planted in the shade of a house, a covering
of burlap or canvas, some six or eight feet above them, merely
to throw off the sun’s rays, will allow them to come to absolute
perfection, but they must have plenty of light and air. Donot
allow them to become dry. During hot weather they will take
two waterings a day. When through flowering they can be
dried off, shaken free of earth, wrapped in cotton until February
or March, when they may be started again.

Single.—White, Yellow, Crimson, Rose,Scarlet. 20 cents each:
three for 60 cents. ,
Donble.—In the same colors. 40 cents each; three for $1.00.

tion where it has full exposure to the sun, it will at-
tain a height (if given a wire or string to twine on)
of forty feet by October 15th, blooming abundantly
theentire season. Itiscalled “Moon Flower,” from
its rare peculiarity ot blooming best at night, al-
though it expands its flowersin dull days. The flow-
ers are pure white, from five to six inches in diame-
ter, emitting a rich, Jasmine-like odor at night. The

ing vines in cultivation, having a large tuberous root
that is perfectly hardy in Minnesota and Canada.

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, and inthe greatest profusion from June to

NEW HARDY HIBISCUS, “Crimson Eye." This magnificent Hibiscus is unequaled among hardy plants for gor-

: < f geous beauty. It originated with me and after many years of careful
selection I have it entirely distinct, always coming true from seed. It is a robust grower, with dark red stems and foliage. The
flowers are immense in size, often measuring twenty inches in circumference. The color is the purest white, with a large spot of
deep velvety-crimson in the center of each flower. It is a striking combination of color, and one that must be seen to ve fully appre-
‘ciated. A well-developed plant will produce several hundred of these flowers in a season. It will succeed anywhere, and is per-
fectly hardy, blooming the first year from seed sown in the open ground. We offer both seeds and roots. Good, strong routs, to
bloom this year, 15 ceats each; three for $5 cents. Seeds, 10 cents per packet.

season. Plants in very small pots have from fifteen to twenty sprays of lovely light pink flowers
on stems ten to twelve inches high at one time, and plants in 1tour-inch pots often have from twen-
ty-five to fifty at one time lasting in bloom fully four weeks without fading, and continually send-

introduced. It is a very rapid grower and the easiest grown of all the Primrose family.

This is a pure yellow Carnation, of strong growth and very profuse flower

ing There is no stripe at ali in it, being a straight out-and-out deep, rich, gold-
en-yellow, witnout any color whatever, under any circumstances. The florets
are large and double, as in Buttercup, and, taken all in all is the very best yellow

Carnation out.
DELLA FOX,

Its color is almost indescribable. Of a very rosy-orange shade, striped and
flaked with carmine, never bursts its calyx, is very free and early floweriny, and
can always be cut with a long stem, a desirable feature in the colored Carnation.

JUBILEE.

Very dwarf, and of a nice, bushy growth, forcing very long flower stems,
each individual flower possessing a stem varying trom three to eight inches in~
length. It has perfectly tormed flowers. Color, a rich, bright, dazzling scarlet.
I unhesitatingly recommend this sort. ;

ABUNDANCE.

Flowers very large and perfect in form. Color a bright, rosy-pink, with
shading when the flowers are fully expanded. A very healthy grower and re-
markably free bloo ner. Plant dwarf, growing about fourteen inches high. This
I consider one of the best pink varieties ever offered and an excellent variety
for pot culture. : :

YELLOW JACKET.

e— The color of the flower is orange, flaked, and is broadly striped with delicate
carmine. Very bright and attractive. Very fragrant. It has proved one of the
fr-est bloomers within my knowledge, single plants often carrying forty to sixty
buds and blossoms at one time. One of the very best varieties. :

BON TON. .

This is by far the darkest Carnation ever seen, and at the same time the
most abundant bloomer. Briiliant dark red. shaded with the richest maroon,
fringed petals, nearly every flower being on a long stem. This variety surpasses
in richness of color tie most perfect Jacqueminot Rose. ~ Sieh a

The Best of all Deep Yellow Roses,

PERLE DES JARDINS.

Or ‘Pearl of the Gardens.”’

The one Tea Rose which you positively cannot do without. The majority
of cut-flower buyers who order ‘‘a dozen Marechal Neil buds’? the year round
do not know their orders are filled with Perles, and quite to their satisfaction,
too, be it said. tor though the two varieties differ. Perle does not suffer by
comparison with Neil. It has positively no weak point, but is a perfect and
popular Rose. The color is faultless whether the waxy petals show the rich
cream tint of cool weather, or take richer
shades which a warm sun gives them. Form
of bud is rich, round and Juxuriant. It is only
equaled by the open Rose, which is full to
the center and large. Beautiful thick, glossy
foliage. A vigorous and riotous grower,

MARION DINGEE.

Marion Dingee promises to be of extraordi-
nary value. It is a strong, vigorous grower,
making a handsome graceful bush. with large
thick, deep green leaves. The flowers are
targe, beautitully cup-shaped, moderately full ¢g
and borne in wonderful profusion all throvgh
the growing season. A constant and profuse
bloomer whether in the open ground or under
glass. “Flowers borne nearly upright, on
long straight stems. It is a deep, brilliant
crimson, one of the darkest and richest col-
ored Tea Roses in existence.

The Great Pink Garden Rose,

BRIDESMAID.

Here we have a new Rose, a sport from
that old standby, Catherine Mermet. This
new variety retains all the good qualities of
the parent, besides adding charms not poss-
essed by the sweet Catherine. All know
that; Catherine Mermet takes precedence
as a pink Rose. Why? Because the bud is of exquisite shape and contour,
so solid and firm, and the stems are so long and stiff that no other Rose will
compare with it in keeping qualities after being cut. It is about two shades
deeper in color—just enough to make it bright; and it is the same color all the
time under every condition of weather and surroundings.
Rose,{believing that my patrons will be pleased with it.

New ose, Goiden Gate.

I recommend this -

New Ever-Blooming Rose, F

GOLDEN GATE.

I have given this Rose another year’s careful attention and study, and I
would gladly add to its praise were this possible. The engraving gives you |
some idea of its great beauty. There are so many beautiful Roses, and they
are beautiful in so many different ways that it scarcely seems possible for
any one variety to be the most beautiful of all Roses; and yet if the question
were to be decided, I am strongly of the belief that the palm would have to
go to the new Tea Rose, Golden Gate. This magnificent Rose is the -result
of across between those old and greatly admired varieties, Safrano and
Cornelia Cook, and while combining the
good qualities of both, is vastly more beauti-
ful than either. The flowers are extra large
very full and finely formed, and of excellent
substance; the buds are long and of the most
desirable form; the color is a rich, creamy
white, beautifully tinged with fine golden-
yellow. The petals are large and broad, and
exquisitely bordered and tinted with clear
rose, making altogether a Rose of the rarest
and ‘most‘indescribable beauty. The Golden
Gate is a strong, healthy grower, and a most
protuse and continuous bloomer. Will pro-
\ duce more perfect buds and bloom than almost
any variety I know. It is excellent for
bedd'ng, also for house culture. In short, |
can heartily recommend it as one of the flnest
and most beautiful Tea Roses eVer grown.
