G iM) Raa re 7 wy i, Me Binh yi \\ BLA N\ aN ay \\\ Ipomea Paniculata,called also by some I.Mexicana, is one of the best of the tuberous rooted MorningGlories. It forms large tuberons roots like Dahlias, requiring the same treatment in winteras Dahlias. The roots increase in size from yearto year. Planted early inspring, it forms a strong vine from 20 to 30 feet high, beginning to bloom early and continuing to bloom until frost. ‘The flowers are of a rich matve color, about three inches in diameter. This plant is not so well-knownas its merits justify. Regarding this very worthy specialty, it may not be amiss to say that at every place where it was used last year it gave perfect satisfac- tion, fulfilling every promise we had made for it. The following expression from Mr. Falconer, under date of October 2nd, speaks very plainly and honestly forthe plant. Hesays: ‘‘Ipomea Paniculata did splendidly with me. It is, all points considered, the best of the genus for amateurs to grow. By lifting the tubers now and wintering them dry in thecellar as we do Dahlia roots and planting them outsidein a warm aspect in May, they will grow and bloom beautifully all summer long. Ours are still, October 2, in perfect verdure and full of their reddish purple flowers.”’ Mr. F. E. Carr, Practical Landscape Gardener of West Cleveland, O., says: “‘‘Iam glad you have strong plants of Ipomea Paniculata, I like them very much. The two small ones I got last year made a grand a They went to the peak of the house and fell half way down again before frost came,and bloomed very profusely.

NEW EARLY FLOWERING TUBEROSE, “ALBINO.” The characteristics of this early flowering single white Tuberose are such as to make it most poputar. The petals recurve gracefully, which adds greatly to the size of the individual flower. The flower spike is very large and evenly filled. It blooms about 30 days earlier than the ordinary kinds. Each bulb produces from two to five flower stems, a very unusual thing, and these stems are trequently branched, but its great merit above all other Tuberoses is that it is entirely free from the brown tint common to the old sorts onthe back of the petals, the tube and expanded petals being of the finest waxy white, making this one of the most valuable plants ever introduced for cut flowers. For prices see 3d page. VARIEGATED LEAVED ORANGE FLOWERED TUBEROSE. The leaves of this variety are bordered with creamy white, making a handsome plant before blooming The flowers are single, almostexactly like an orange bloom. ‘The plants begin to flower very early. And the same bulbs bloom year after year. Smaller bulbs of this variety will bloom than of the older kinds, NEW HARDY HIBISCUS. Crimson Eye.—This grand hardy perennial Hibiscus is a robust grower with dark red stems and large foliage. The flowers are immense in size, often measuring 20 inch- es in circumference. The color is of the purest white, with a large spot of deep, velvety crimson in the center of each flower. Itis a strik- ing combination of color, and one that must be seen to be fully appreciated. A well- developed plant will produce several hundred of these flow- ersinaseason. It will suc- ( HM ceed anywhere, and is per- = SS"! fectly hardy, blooming the = == (el first year.

The Ohmer was introduced by, and named for, Nicholas Ohmer, of Ohio, the introducer of the Grege Raspberry. I have fruited this variety for six years, in the same field with all the leading varieties of Blackberries, and it has uniformly excelled all others in size, beauty, quality and productiveness. The plants are as hardy as Snyder or Ancient Briton. ‘‘Hardy, healthy,-very- large; ripening after raspberries are gone, and lasting till late in August when pricesareup. Excellent quality, firm, no core; sweet before fully ripe, which makes it superior to Lawton. Five points which recommend this berry: Hardy, late, large, productive and of the finest flavor. Mr. Ohmer also says brings $l to $2 more a stand than Snyder or Taylor. As large as the largest, as hardy as any good berry; very productive. strong grower, finest quality and late,”’
