When I started in the floral business two years ago, I confess it was with fear
and trembling, It was a new field in the commercial world for woman te enter, —
Every one said “don't; but I did, and I am happy to say that my business success
has been assured from the very start. I reasoned in this way: that this business is
one eminently suited to a woman in every respect, and of all occupations it is the
most pleasant and refining, Wherever there is a home in which happiness reigns, __
flowers are grown, Their fragrant presence is an unfailing indication of culture
and comfort. Every one loves flowers and interest in their culture is constantly
increasing, For this reason floriculture appeals to the hearts of women the world
over, I have to extend my heartiest thanks to the many friends who have made
my success possible by their liberal orders, If you keep sending me your orders
and speak a good word about my plants to your friends, I am sure that m-- «°~
will become permanent. My endeavor will be to please you in every t
if your orders are not filled in a satisfactory manner, kindly write me a
that I can remedy the same, Respectfully yours,

Eight Hardy Everblooming Roses for only 50 cents.

HARDY EVERBLOOMING ROSES.

Price, large two-year-old plants of any

of these Roses, 80 cents each; or any four for $1.00.

I have often been asked to name the hardiest Roses that are everbloomers. I have combined in this collection only such kinds as
bloom freely, and that will stand zero weather. If you want Roses that are hardy enough to stand cold Winters, and that bloom all

Summer, you want the ‘* Nonesuch”? collection.

Mrs. DeGraw.—From early Summer until frost it may
be depended upon to produce flowers in abundance.
In color it isa rich, glossy pink, delightfully fra-
grant, and is sucha strong, vigorous grower that it
is almost impregnable against attacks of the insects
which usually destroy some of our finest Roses,
that it is certain to be unequalled for the garden or
cemetery. A royal Rose.

Meteor.—A velvety red_everbloomer of the deepest
glowing crimson, as fine asa Hybrid, A beautiful
open Rose, a free bloomer, and a very excellent pot
Rose. It has no tinge of violet or purple to mar its
beauty. It is a vigorous, bushy grower, with a
healthy, bright foliage of deepest
green. The best rich red Rose for
the garden ever introduced. Ourcor-
respondents from California say that
the flower of the Meteor equals Gen-
erat Jacqueminot, and will produce
fifty flowers to Jacqueminot’s one.

Clethilde Soupert.—The color is a French
white, deepening to arosy blush in the
center, exceeding in distinctness of
shading the well known Malmaison.
Its greatest value liesin its compact,
vigorous habit and profusion of bloom,
even the smallest plants being literally
covered with flowers. The form and
substance of the flowers are so perfect
that the hottest weather does not cause
a deterioration of either, so that even
in midsummer a bouquet of splendid
buds and open flowers can be obtained
trom this fine variety. Valuable asit

blooming in the dwelling house.

Countess of Roseberry.—We have in this

very charming variety probably the

most beautiful Rose grown. The
color is a satiny pink in the center,
and deepens to the outer petals to a bright rose. This feath-
ery shading gives it the appearance of two distinct colors. It
has completely captivated us. Itis very free flowering.
Dinsmore,—It is a vigorous, healthy Rose, of dwarf, branching
habit, and is simply loaded with flowers all Summer long,
being even more profuse than most of the tender everbloom-
ing Roses. The Rowers are large, perfectly double, and of a
dazzling scarlet crimson color,and have the rich, spicy fra-
grance peculiar to the best Hybrid Roses. We can recoms
mend it as being the finest garaen Rose ever offered,
Madame Schwaller.—It 1s very free in bloom and has the fra-
grance of the old June Roses. The color is a bright, rosy

flesh, paler at base of petals, and deepening on the edges,
Apt to come in clusters, which are excellent for cutting,

time of its introduction. It is identical with La France, ex-
cept its color, which is almost pure white. The shading of
fawn it has only enhances its beauty. A grand Rose,

double, and stand erect in their martial bearing. Colora
fresh, delicate pink, with deeper shading in the center of the
flower, the whole flower possessing a bright, satiny appear-
ance. Itisa free bloomer. One of the most beautiful Roses
of its color.

ten feet during the season, rendering it a charming pillar Rose, One
of the striking characteristics of this Rose is its remarkable color,’
which is of the brightest crimson. The flowers are produced in great
pyramidal panicles or trusses, each carrying from thirty to forty
blooms, Itis exceedingly hardy, having successfully withstood the
test in exposed situations of two very severe Winters in England.
It is hardy in every latitude yet tried as far north as the lakes. Asa
decorative pot plant it cannot be excelled. We can recommend this
novelty in the strongest manner as being a new Rose of great im-
portance and value. There has no Rose ever been introduced up to the
present time that has had as much written and said about zt as this
Jamous Rose, and of course everybody will have to have one or more
plants of it. It ts a Rose that we can endorse every word said about it,
We hare an immense stock of tt in perfect health, so that all who purchase of us will be pleased. Price,

WONDERFUL NEW CLIMBING ROSE EMPRESS Or CHINA.

gentleman from Cuba, who says of it that it commences to bloom in May, and is loaded with its
elegant blooms until December. Think of it! There is no other Rose like it that will bloom for so
long atime. This has been the great objection to Climbing Roses that they bloom once and then
are done. But here we have a Rose that blooms continuously for over seven months of the year.
It is simply wonderful. When it first opens the flowers are a beautiful red, but soon turn to a lovely
light pink, and it blooms so profusely as to almost hide the plant. It is pertectly hardy, and is a
vigorous grower. Don’t fail to try this beautiful Rose. as it will please you. Price, 15 cents each;

beautiful Hybrid Perpetual Rose ever grown. Blooms are
of immense size, remarkably beautiful form and perfectly

fulgent rose color, slightly shaded in the center with vivid

makes large, spherical balls,and when seen in bloom is not
soon forgotten. Very beautiful and entirely hardy.

THE LADY BANKS, OR

BANKSIA ROSES.

These are fine climbing or trailing Roses. Good for the South
and Pacific coast, where the Winters are not too severe, They
require two or three years’ growth to bloom to perfection, and
are then very beautiful. As the flowers are produced on the old
growth, they should be pruned but very little, merely cutting
away what is absolutely necessary. The flowers resemble a
double cherry blossom, and are the size of a silver dime. They
are produced in large clusters, and have a decided violet per-
fume, Indeed, if blindfolded you could not by the odor distin-
guish them from violets.

family, with one or two exceptions, perhaps. It is very nearly globular
in form, and has a circumference of twenty-twoinches, nicely incurved,
and of a clear, bright pink; outside of petals a little lighter. If it were
not for its one defect, of not carrying the foliage up to the flower, we
should unhesitatingly pronounce this the finest introduction of the year.
Received N.C.S. certificate at Cincinnati, November 23; first prize,
best pink seedling, at the Madison Square show, November 26.

Glory of the Pacific.—We predict that this fine variety will rank among pink
sorts as Bergmann does among whites, which it follows by two or
three days. It is of magnificent size and depth, with broad petals,
which finally refiex, showing the clear pink color to excellent advan-
tage. We were fortunate in being able to secure a large stock of this

tion. The color is a deep, golden-yellow, very bright and very massive
in build, as deep as wide, with crowded petals, stems very stiff, height

“Ostrich Plume’’ Set of Chrysanthemums

Price, 10 cents each; or the seven varieties of ‘‘ Ostrich Plume’’ Chrysanthemums for 50 cents.

White ‘Ostrich Plume,’’ Mrs. Alpheus Hardy. —The flowers are
very large and of thick substance, perfect shape, and belong
to the incurved Japanese section, while the color is the purest
white. It is of immense size, broad petals and incurved, the
surface being downy, like loose-piled plush. The entire
flower seems frosted with glittering white. Its unique char-
acter consistsinits fine, downy appearance, which is produced
by the glandular hairs which cover the petals, which has
been frequently described by the press as producing a fluffy
eftect, similar to an ostrich feather. It has received the
highest honors wherever exhibited.

New Sweet-scented **Ostrich Plume,’’ Miss Anna Manda.—Flower
very high and compact, perfectly double, incurved, of the
purest white. The numerous petals are well furnished with
long, glandular, hair-like outgrowths, giving the flower a
unique appearance, far surpassing in attractiveness the cele-
brated Mrs. Alpheus Hardy. The plant is of strong and
vigorous habit, carrying the flower erect on a stout stem.
Another great recommendation of this new variety is that
the flower is sweetly scented.

New Yellow ‘Ostrich Plume.’’ W. A. Manda.—A grand yellow,
incurved, hairy variety of the “Ostrich Plume” class. The
flowers are large, of a beautiful, clear golden-yellow, in-
curved, and covered with golden-yellow hairs. The plantis
vigorous in growth, and the flower is borne upright on a
stout stem. No collection can afford to be without this
variety.

Louis Boeehmer.—This is identical in its strange and beautiful
formation with Mrs. Alpheus Hardy, but its color is an ex-
quisite shade of silvery-pink, with deep rose on the inside of
the petals. It is of vigorous constitution, being one of the
strongest growing varieties we have, so that it is certain to
produce perfect flowers under the most ordinary cultivation.

New Rosy-blush **Ostrich Plume,”’ William Falconer.—The color
is an exquisite shade of rosy-blush, changing to a delicate
flesh-pink as the flowers advance in age. A description can
not convey the beauty of coloring found in this new variety.
The delicacy of tinting is unsurpassed in any class ot flow-
ers within our knowledge. The soft, feathery growth pecu-
liar to the “Ostrich Plume” class is pronounced, the effect
being as if a softly-tinted, lace-like web or veil was thrown
over the blooms, a unique and beautiful addition to its ap-
pearance, The flowers are of the largest size, and are borne
on strong, vigorous stalks. The growth of the plant is all
that could be desired.

Gold Dust.—Pure golden-yellow, very plumy, yery full and large,
finely incurved, showing nocenter at all. The most brilliant
yellow in the Ostrich Plume class. First season out. Will
surely receive a medal at the Fall exhibition. Received
honorable mention at the great Chicago show last Fall.

Eiderdown.—One of the grandest new Ostrich Plumes. Colora
pure snow-white, with broad, solid, incurving petals over-
lapping each other. A strong grower, with stiff stems.
Flowers lasting unusually long after cutting.

nation that has been produced in
years. It blooms both Winter and -
Summer. It is the best of all Care
nations.

SWAINSONIA ROSEA.—The prettiest plant of any in our col-
lection. This is the prettiest all round plant for house culture
that we know of. It is of such easy culture that everybody suc-
ceeds with it. Itis a rapid grower, andina short time makes a
handsome, compact bush, as it naturally growsinto a shapely
plant. The foliage is deep green and small. It bears its panicles

NEW JASMINE, MAID OF ORLEANS,—Easily grown, even
small plants bearing a profusion of double, creamy-white flowers,
having a delicious perfume. A plant of this lovely variety will,
when in bloom, scent up a whole yard or house. Itis by far the
most deliciousin bloom and fragrance of all Jasmines, or indeed,

good deal forit. Will thrive out of doors and bloom through the
season. A magnificent plant, and will become one of the most
valuable and popular pot plants when it becomes better known.

NEW GOLDEN-YELLOW ROSE, STAR OF GOLD.—This
splendid Rose is admittedly one of the brightest colored and
most brilliant Roses we have, and is highly recommended for
bedding and general planting, as well as for growing in pots and
conservatory. Thecolorisa rich, deep, golden-yellow, exceed-
ingly bright and striking, and both buds and flower are large and
elegantly formed, fully double, and borne on nice, long stems,
which renders it especially attractive, as well as nice for cutting.
It is a vigorous and healthy grower and a quick and constant
bloomer, quite fragrant, a really excellent Rose in every way,
and never fails to please. If you want a good, deep yellow Rose
that is a good bloomer, plant Star of Gold.

NEW PURE WHITE HYBRID
TEA ROSE, JEAN DE ARC.—
Vhis beautiful Rose has not only a
royal name, butis a royal Rose as
well. We kave white Roses that
have elegant buds, but when full
blown are not all that is desired.
Then again, we have white Roses
that are elegant when full blown,
but have poor buds. This Rose
combines both these good qualities,
It is a continuous bloomer, produc-
ing successive crops of buds and
flowers in greatest profusion. The
buds are very beautifully formed,
with large petals,of the best sub-
stance,show no center when full
open. Color pure snowy-white.an
when you add a rich perfume,
coupled with a vigorous growth,
what more could you ask? This
Rose is an easy winner over all
competitors in its color, and we
predict that more of it will be
planted than all other white Roses
combined.

NEW GERANIUM, MRS. E.G.
HILL.—No one who has not seen
this lovely Geranium asitisgrown
in the beds and borders of North-
ern parks can imagine the beauty
that liesin a flower of that color.
Of a deep, soft salmon, ratherthan

ink, but fresh and bright, the
Bieseoure are perfect in form, and
borne well and clear above the
foliage, The long beds of it seen

It stands the sun perfectly, and is, in our opinion, the

lightful. i :
finest double variety of any color for massing, when a delicate

and artistic effect is desired.

THE WONDERFUL NEW ROSE, PINK SOUPERT,— The

Pink Soupert produces flowers of various shades of pink, some-

times almost red, then again a bright pink is seen, almost identi-
cal in color with that grand old Rose, Hermosa. Then again the
same bush will produce light pink flowers, suffused with lilac.

THE GREATEST OF ALL HIBISCUS, SINENSIS GIGAN-
TERUS,—A plant for house culture during Winter or Summer, or
tor plunging outside during Summer. It blooms at all times of
the year. The plants makea hard-wooded shrub like an Oleander,
branching freely and flowering profusely, commencing to bloom
when not more than a foot high. Asa specimen plant for large
pots or tubs it has an equal only in the Brugmansia. Its flowers
are of enormous size, often eight to ten inches across, opening
flat, and of such a vivid crimson-scariet color that they can be
seen for a long distance like a flaming torch.

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 allowthem to come to absolute
perfection, but they must have plenty of light and air. Do not
allow them to become dry, and during hot weather they will

WHITE SWAN GERANIUM.

Madame Hoste.—Umbels large and borne we'l above the foliage.
Flowers of enormous size, color flesh, lined and shaded with
bright salmon. One of the very finest in the collection.
Shading simply exquisite.

Clara Kisker.—Large trusses of well-expanded flowers of a
bright scarlet, toned and flamed with a rosy-salmon, and a
flower of most expressive appearance, and one that will be
much admired by all.

Sir Walter Scott.—Color a beautiful vinous rose, with distinct
white center. This variety produces fine individual florets,
which, combined with its other good qualities, makes it a
valuable Geranium. This variety supersedes Sergeant
Bobillett, being a much finer Geranium.

Leviathan —Enormous-sized flowers, round, in the shape of ro-
settes. Color a bright orange-red, reverse of petals silvery.
Very fine. Semi-double flowers.

Tour Eiffel,—Color bright orange-scarlet, somewhat in the way
of the variety Bruant. It isa strong, vigorous grower, mak-
ing a distinct place for itselfinitsclass Semi-double.

Fire Brand.—Color dazzling flame scarlet, fine, prominent truss,
Howers large and of greatsubstance. An excellent bedder
and pot plant. For planting in masses we have seen none to
equal it, Another thing in its favor, it takes fewer plants
from its sturdy branching habit to give effect.

Centaur,—The new mammoth Centaur Double Geranium is the
best large-flowering double pink Geranium in cultivation.
Any one seeing a specimen truss cannot fail to become en-
thusiastic over it, pronouncing it the largest and finest Gera-
nium in cultivation. The new Centaur is remarkable for its
stout, robust growth, and for itsimmense trusses of bloom.

Beauty Poitevine.—Very large, semi-double flowers, borne on
immense trusses. Free bloomer, either as a pot plant orasa
bedder. It has no equal of the color, which is a brilliant
Salmon, very clear on the borders. This might well have
been called “Salmon Bruant,” as it is identical in every way
but color,

Crimson Velvet.—This is the darkest and richest Geranium
grown, Itis very bright, dark, deep, rich velyety-maroon,
very dark and rich, and at the same time very bright. An
excellent bedder and pot plant. One that must find its way
into every collection. Simply superb.

Gloire de France.—Large, round florets, of waxy appearance,
colors carmine and white, with carmine center, each petal
delicately tinged with carmine. An excellent pot variety, to
which its habnt is finely suited. Itis one of the prettiest Ge-
raniums we have. This 1s the most beautiful of all parti-
colored Geraniums which appear so bewitching to the eye.
The very brightest color imaginable.

Bruant.—Color of the flower a fight vermilion-red of a most
pleasing shade. The flowers are absolutely perfect in shape,
contour and make-up, trusses exceptionally large, and borne
in immense spherical balls, often measuring eight inches in
diameter. It does finely in the open ground, and is perfectly
reliable as a bedding Geranium of the highest merit.

Emile de wirardin.—Of a deep, soft rose, rather than pink, but
fresh and bright, the blossoms are perfectin form, and borne
welland clear above the foliage. The long beds of it seen
in the Chicago parks, with their edgings of ‘Golden Bedder”
Coleus, formed the most beautiful Geranium planting we
have ever seen, and the combination is delightful.

Gertrude.—Color of the flower a clear, bright salmon, with cen-
ter and outer edges touched with white and with soft shad-
ings of carmine, velvety in texture, and of the most beautiful
semi-double form, We have measured trusses of bloom on
this variety ten inches in diameter. Itis simply superb. A
fine bedder.,

White Swan —In White Swan we have one of the finest double
white Geraniums ever introduced, and unlike other double
white Geraniums, it is suitable for bedding and flowers as
profusely as the best single varieties. They are borne in
large trusses and are a spotless, snowy-white, retaining their
pure whiteness even in the heat of Summer.

It has round florets, upper petals cream-white, with a dis-

of Ever-Blooming Dwar [ Cannas.

These are the best varieties in cultivation, Always in bloom,

They are not like the old varieties of Cannas that

seldom flower, but are always covered with their large, handsome trusses of bloom, Be sure and give them a trial,

ULTURE.—The soil can hard-
@ ly be too rich and porous.
Equal parts manure, loam and
sand, with a little peat, form the best

mixture. Plants must be kept in a
growing temperature of sixty de-
grees. Liberal supplies of manure
water are of great benefit. Always
when growing keep well watered.

Florence Vaughn.—Conceded by all
who have seenit to be the finest
yellow spotted Canna. Flowers
very large, of the most perfect
form, with broad. overlapping
petals, nicely rounded at the
ends. Color a brilliant yellow,
spotted with bright red.
strong, robust grower, and flow-
ers very freely.

Egandale.— Without the least hesita- .
tion we pronounce this the best
of all dark-leaved Cannas for
bedding that has yet come under
our notice. Flowersare of good
size, and bornein compact heads,
and in such profusion that a bed
of them is a perfect mass of col-
or unequaled by any other sort.
The color is a deep currant-red,
ofa Pe cauee and pleasing shade,
and different from any other.

Charles Henderson.—Glowing crim-
son color, but of dwart habit,
growing about three feet in
height, and bearing itsimmense,
compact heads of bloom erect
and well above the foliage. The
form of the flowers is very fine
indeed, well opened and of good
substance, standing the sun well.

Paul Marquard. — The individual
flowers are large, and the flower
spikes very large, each flower

largest flowers which have been obtained as yet in the way
of Cannas. The plant grows about four and a half to six
feet high. Numerous musa-like, glaucous leaves. Above
the perfect foliage, which alone would be sufficient to render
the plant beautiful, emerge numerous elegant, gigantic and

outer petals are scarlet, with a very broad gold-yellow bor-
der. The inside of the blooms is scarlet and dark red. Ex-
ceedingly beautiful. Price, 25 cents each.

the form is really semi-double. Toward the inner part the
petals show fine crimson spots. All the rest of the flower is
of a most beautiful, rich canary-yellow. A very strong
grower, five to six feet high, with leaves with a texture like
rubber. Asaspecimen, decoratlye, as weli asa flowering
plant for the greenhouse or private conservatory, it 1s the

ful in habit Foliage light green, Produces a mass 0

RUDBECKIA LACINIATA, fl. pl.

MO, “Tr.

aw

—— Ae

WAL

fe, MAS
War

FFERED for the first time last year. A hardy perennial
6) plant, growing eight feet high, branching freely, and bear-

ing by the hundreds, on long, graceful stems, exquisite
double blossoms of the brightest golden coijor, and as large as
Cactus Dahlias. The cut represents a plant in bloom, as photo-
graphed. Mr. William Falconer, the best authority on plants in
this country, says of it: ‘* When I saw-the double-flowering
form of Rudbeckia Laciniata in bloom in your grounds last year,
Iwas amazed, for notwithstanding my long and intimate ac-
quaintance with plants I had never before seen a double-flow-
ered 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 strong, branch-
ing flower stems six feet high, laden with sheaves of golden
blossoms as large as fair Chrysanthemums, and all having an
elegant, graceful appearance, without any of the stiffness in
habit or blossom peculiar to sunflowers. Many eminent florists
and amateurs have seen it here, and all admired it. As cut flow-
ers the blossoms last well. In fine, I 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, Price, 16 cents
each; two for 26 cents.

TUBEROSES,

Double Tuberose, Excelsior Pearl.—This variety is dwarfer than
either of the other varieties in cultivation. Very large, pure
white flowers, beautifully imbricated, delightfully fragrant,
very double. Price, 15 cents each; six bulbs for 70 cents.

Mouble Tuberose, Pearl.—The value of this sort over the com-
mon variety consists in its flowers being of large size, im-
bricated like a Rose, and of dwarf habit, growing only from
eighteen inches to two feet in height, its short growth mak-
ing it desirable as a pot plant or for Winter forcing, Price,
10 cents each; fifteen for $1.00.

Double Tuberose.—Its pure waxy color and delightful fragrance
make it the most popular of all flowers for bouquets and
baskets. My bulbs are very fine, and I guarantee that all
will bloom if properly treated. Price. 10 cents each; twenty
for $1.00; twenty-five by express for $1.00.

‘CESTRUM, or NIGHT BLOOMING JASMINE.

Parqui.—A native of Chili. An excellent garden plant, grow-
ing rapidly. Foliage long and of deep green color. Pro-
duces its richly fragrant flowers at every joint. Sweet only
at night. Well adapted to house and window culture. Price,
10 cents each.

aurifoliam.—A handsome plant, with large, glossy foliage and
:pure white flowers. Price, 1@ cents each

THE TWO CESTRUMS FOR 15 CENTS.

“Golden Glow.”

CALLA LILIES.

Calla Ethiupica—(Zgystian Lily.) This is the well-known
Egyptian Lily, or Lily of the Nile, with large, white flowers,
broad foliage, and it will prosper under very adverse circum-
stances. If you want large Callas send to me, asI am head-
quarters forthem. I have three sizes. Price. small plants,
to bloom next Winter. 10 cents each; strong, blooming bulbs,
26 cents each; extra strong bulbs, that will produce a dozen
blooms, 50 cents each.

Calla Richardia.—(Sfotted Calia.) A plant with beautiful spot-
ted leaves. It flowers abundantly during the Summer months,
when planted outin the open border. The flowers are shaped
like those of a Calla, and are pure white, shaded with violet
inside. Keep dry in Winter, and start in the Spring, like a
Dahlia. The plant belongs to the same order as Calla Ethi-
opica. Price, blooming buibs, 26 cents each.

The Black Calla —The introducer says: “Its flowers are enor-
mous, fully a footin length. Color a clear, coal black, so in-
tense that it really shows a bDrilliancy,and as may well be
imagined,it is a flower of most striking oddity and beauty.
The bulbs are large,and should be potted in the Fall,and
when growth commences setin a window. After blooming,
the foliage will die down, and the bulb should be kept dr
for replanting in the Fall. It is a native of the Holy Land.
Treat the same as for White Calla Lily.’ This is a very
beautiful Lily. I have flowered it extensively. It is coal
black, and is a greatcuriosity. It is very scarce. Price of
large flowering bulbs, 50 cents each.

New Dwarf Ever-blooming Calla Lily.—7%e most wonderful of all
plants. 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 over the old sort: It
is of dwarfhabit, and does not grow tall and scraggy like the
old variety, but is compact, with a great abundance of lustrous
dark-green foliage. Itis a true ever-bloomer, its flowers ap-
pearing in great abundance both Summer and Winter when
grown in pots, or it will bloom profusely all Summer long in
the open ground, and being potted in September will contin-
ue blooming without intermission all Winter. The same
plant will grow and bloom for years without once ceasing,
and the quantity of bloom which a good plant will produce
is astonishing. Itis estimated that six plants of the old sort
will not produce so many flowers in the course of a year as
will one plant of this new dwarf variety. A large plantis
hardly ever without one or more flowers, and its dwarf, com-
pact habit makes a much more desirable pot plant than the
old variety. Its flowers are large size and snow-white in
color. Allin all,itis one of the most desirable plants I have
ever offered. Price, buds of blooming size, 60 cents each;
extra large size, 75 cents each.

SPECIAL OFFER.«:-The four beautiful Callas, strong bulbs,
for $1.10.

HARDY LILIES.

No class of plants capable of being cultivated out of doors
possesses So many charms as the Lily. Rich and varied in col-
or, profuse in variety, and of delicious fragrance, they are per-
fectly hardy and of the easiest culture, and no garden should be
without a few of the best sorts.

Lilium Auratum.—(Golden-rayed Queen of Lilies) This is the
grandest Lily grown, and a neverefailing delight. I take
pleasure in showing it to people who have never seen it. It
seldom fails to create a sensation. The perfume is exquisite
—light, yet penetrating. Magnificent by daylight, but by
moonlight a well-grown plant, carrying five or more blooms,
is simply fndescubably beautiful. it is also known as the
“ Gold-banded Lily from Japan.” Price, 26 cents each; five
for $1.00. 2

Harrisii.—( Ze Bermuda, or Easter Lily.) Pot and treat the
same as for Hyacinths. Each bulb will give from six to
twelve flowers, 1n many cases many more. And not content
with that effort, it often throws up a second stalk bearing
flowers, thus continuing its season of beauty. The flowers
are fully six inches in length, of the purest white, and of the
most delicious fragrance. Price, fine bulbs, 20 cents each;
three for 60 cents. : ,

Candidum,—The well-known hay garden Lily. Snow-white,
fragrant blossoms. One of the best, and an established fa-
vorite. Price, 20 cents each; three for 50 cents.

Tigrinum Flora Plena.—Bright orange, spotted black, and very
double. Price, 25 cents each; five for $1.00. 4

Speciosa*Rubrum.—A béantiful bright rose, spotted with a dark,
velvetyecrimson. Price, 26 cents each; five for $1.00.

CHINESE PRIMROSE,

Few house plants afford better satisfaction than this. It re-
uires to be kept cool, a north window suiting it best. Care
should be taken in watering that no water gets on the buds, as it
causes them to decay. In the Summer they can be turned out
into a shady border. The plants I offer are fine, and the colors
will please. I have them in white, pink, red, crimson, striped
and blue. Price, 10 cents each.

ELEVEN FINE
VARIETIES,

CHINESE HIBISCUS,

Price, 10 cents each; any three for 26 cents; or seven sorts, my
selection. 50 cents. Ihave large plants of Hibiscus nearly
ready to bloom, for 25 cents each. Theseare handsome plants.

Hibisous Auriantica.—Large and double, with orange-colored

owers,

Chinese Giganteus.—This is a plant for house culture during
Winter or Summer, or for planting outside during Summer.
It blooms at all times of the year. The plants branch freely
and flower profusely, commencing to bloom when not more
than a foot high. Asa specimen plant for large pots it has
an equal onlyinthe Brugmansia. Its flowersare of enormous
size, often eight toteninches across, opening flat, and of such
a vivid crimson scarlet color that they can be seen for a long
distance, like a flaming torch. It is hard to find anything
among flowers more strikingly showy. They can be wintered
in the cellar or pit with perfect safety, and if one does not
care to grow them all Winter, one should have one or two
for Summer display. No plant is surer to grow and thrive
under any treatment than this, and few can ever be so satis-
factory.

Double Crimson.—This grand variety has immense flowers of the
richest crimson. Combined with glossy foliage renders it the
best of all. 5

Carminiatus Perfectus.—Full round flowers of perfect shape, and
of a rich, soft carmine rose, with a deepcrimson eye. Fully
six inches in diameter, —

shape of ‘ts flower is identical with the Auriantica, and has
the same purple markings at the base of the petals. The

lemon

deep magenta, ends of petals touched with brown, foliage
finely toothed.

Sub-Violaceous.—¥ lowers of enormous size, a beautiful carmine,
tinted with violet, probably the largest flower of the Hibiscus
family, and anunusually free bloomer, Itake great pleasure
in recommending this fine plant.

Versicolor.—A variety combining in its flowers all colors of the
whole family, being handsomely striped crimson. buff, rose
and white. Flowers eight inches in diameter,

Zebrinus.—Double, the outer petals scarlet, edged with yellow,
inner petals are very irregular, curiously variegated with
creamy-yellow and white.

the plant with scarlet-crimson flowers.

tention inthe last two years as the Justicia, or Brazilian Plume
Plant. The plantis a strong, rapid grower, and throws up
long stems, on which are produced fine, plume-like pink flow.
ers, the ends of each petal drooping in a most charming man-
ner. When the plants area few months old, they are hterally
covered with their beautiful blossoms. It does equally well
either for house or out-door culture. Price, 20 cents each.

stems and flaming rose-colored blooms. Prire. 15 cts. each.

| MOOM FLOWERS.

The True Ever-Blooming Moon Flower, Ipomea Grandiflora —
We have the true variety, that blooms constantly. If planted
out in rich ground, in a situation where it has full exposure
to the sun, it will attain a height (if given a wire or string
to twine on) of forty feet by October 15th, blooming abund-
antly the entire season. Itis called ‘‘Moon Flower” from its
rare peculiarity of blooming best at night, although it also
expands its flowers in dull days. The flowersare pure white,
from five to six inches in diameter, emitting a rich. Jasmine-
like odor at night. The “Moon Flower” is a tender plant,
but it can easily be kept in the house over Winter. It roots
easily from slips, so that no attempt should be made to lift
large plants. Price of the true ‘*Moon Fiower,”’ 10 cents
each; threes for 25 cents.

Ipomea Palmata (Mexican Moon Flower.)—This is a tuberous-
rooted vine, with large palmate foliage and perennial root,
that increases in size from yearto year. The vine climbs to
a height of fifteen to twenty feet, and produces freely large
clusters of rosy-pink flowers three and a half inches in di-
ameter. Plants bloom from June until frost. The roots re-

uire protection in Winter like Dahlias. We usually keep
t em under the benches in the greenhouse. Price, 20 cents
each.

Blue Moon Flower, Ipomes Learii.—This makes a splendid com-
panion plant to the white“Moon Flower.” Itis equally rapid
in growth and as free blooming asthe white variety, although
blooming in the morning and dulldays. The flowers are the
most intense blne, with reddish-purple rays, and are six
inches across, There is nothing of its color that exceeds in
richness the flowers of Ipomea Learii. Culture is the same
as for the “Moon Flower.’? Price, 10 cents each.

The Hardy Day-Blooming Moon Flower. Ipomea Pandurata.—
This is one of the most rampant-growing vines in cultivation,
having a large tuberous root that 1s perfectly hardy in Min-
nesota and Canada. The flowers, which are very large, are
a pure, satiny-white, with a pinkish-purple throat, shading
oft deeper in the tube. The flowers are usually four inches
in diameter—sometimes attain a diameter of five or even six
inches, ahey are produced in large clusters, and in the
greatest profusion from June to October. A strong plant
will give more than one thousand beautiful flowers daily, for
months at atime, being well distributed over the plant from

near the base to the top, forming usually one of the grandest
| floral displays ever seeninany country, The root penetrates
the earth so deep that it is not seriously affected by drouth or
unfavorable weather conditions. Price, 20 cents each; three
for 50 cents.

SPECIAL OFFER —The four Moon Flowers for 50 cents.

PALMS!

The following is a select list of rare and handsome varieties
that can be recommended for apartments, conservatories, decora-
tions or vase plants during summer. They are all grand plants,
and of the easiest culture.

It may be well to state here that young Palms
NOTICE do not resemble the illustration given, as they
* f do not show their character leaves until the sec-

ond year, so that when you get your Palm plants
and see long, narrow leaves instead of the character leaves, as
sbown in the illustration, do not think that the wrong kind has
been sent you. -

A GREAT BARGaIN.—Four choice Palms, my selection, for 50c.

Latania Barbonica.—The well known Fan Palm. This is one of
the most exquisitely graceful among Palms, Its wide-spread-
ing, gracefully arching leaves are elegant and effective for
apartment decoration. Itis considered the handsomest and
most valuable of all the Palms. Price, 25 cents each; fine
large plants, $1.00 to $2.00 each.

Kentia Fosteriana.—This is one of the finest pot plants imagin-
able, and the easiest to grow of any of the Palm family. Be-
ing almost hardy, it is not injured by slight changes in tem-
perature, and its stiff, glossy leaves enable it to stand the dry,
hot air of the living room without injury. The leaves are a
deep, glossy-green, fan-shaped, split deeply into segments.
This is, without exception, the most hardy of itsclass Very
graceful for table decoration. Scarcely equaled. Price, 60
cents each; strong plants, $1.00 10 $2.00 each.

Oredoxia Regia.—(Roya/ /.alm,) This favorite Palm is beautiful
in all stages of growth, No plantis more easily grown. and
none more tenacious of life, enduring the dust, the cold and
heat from open windows and gas-heated air of our dwellings
The demand for this particular kind is perhaps five times that
of any other. Leaves large, fan-shaped, of a cheerful green
color; plant of hardy constitution, and adapted to all deco-
rative purposes, within or without doors. Price, 25 cents
each; fine mine plants, 60 cents to $2.00 each.

Washingtonia Filifera.—A beautiful Palm is one of the finest ad-
ditions that can be made to any collection of plants, but the
high prices of the best varieties have prevented most people
from possessing ore. Then, again, there are but few of the
best sorts which succeed well with ordinary window culture.
It is, therefore, with pleasure that we are now able to offer
one of the most beautiful sorts in existence, and one that is
hardy and robust enough to succeed anywhere, and a price
which brings it within reach of all. 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. Price, 10 cents each; three for 26 cents;
strong plants, 50 cents each.

ARECA LUTESCENS |
Cocos Weddeliana.— Undoubtedly the most graceful Palm yet in-

troduced to our collection. The stem is slender, leaves long
and very beautifully arched, leaflets or pinnz very fine, deep
green above, white below., Price, 60 cents each.

Areca Lutescens —A most elegant Palm. One of the best for
general decorative purposes, easily grown, useful in every
stage of growth, fine color, graceful habit, and pleases all.
Price, 25 cents each; fine large plants, $1.00 to $2.00 each.

Seaforthia Elegans.—A most graceful Palm, eminently adapted
for decorating greenhouse and garden. Makesa fine window
plant. Leaves long, gracefully arched, dark green, and the
whole plant is perfectly smooth. Price, 26 cents each; fine:
plants, $1.00 to $2.00 each.

AZALEA INDICA,
One of the most gorgeous blooming families, together with the

showiest of all greenhouse plants. The colors of the flower vary
from the purest white to the deepestcrimson in untold variations.
-The soil should always be packed hard when transplanted. Suc-
cess depends, however, on the degree of moisture in the atmos-
phere in which they live. We have a number of the best flower-
ing sorts that will flower finely this coming Winter, both double
and single flowered, in any color desired. The plants we offer
are magnificent specimens, the finest you have ever seen, and all
will bloom this year. Price, 50 cents each; fine, large plants.
three years old, 75 cents each.

N. B.—Be sure and try our Azaleas. They will not disappoint
you. Inordering name the color you wish. Wecan furnish them
in the following colors: White, pink, crimson, salmon, rosy-
jilac, and white striped with crimson.

GLOXINIAS.

These are among the most beautiful of all our Summer-bloom-
ing plants. The rosette of velvety-green leaves is surmounted
with a cluster of lovely trumpet-shaped flowers as large as Gladi-
oli blooms; the coloring is exquisite. The ground-work of many
is pure white, with throats of blue, scarlet, rose, crimson, or vel-
vety-purple, while others are beautifully flecked and striped with
the brightest colors, and the tubes are of the bright color, with
white throat. The bulbs should be started in a warm place—
greenhouse, hot-bed or sunny-window. They will bloom until
late inthe Summer, when they should be dried off, letting the
leavesdie. The pots can be kept over Winterin a cellar free from
frost. They are very easily grown. Give them atrial. Price,
20 cents each; three for 50 cents.

CROTONS.

The Crotons are among the finest decorative foliage plants
known, The leaves of all are more or less veined and margined,
sometimes entirely variegated with shades of yellow, orange,
and crimson. Some have long, narrow leaves, arching grace-
fully fountain fashion, others broad and short, oak-leaved.
Some recurve very much, others are twisted, cork-screw like, Cro-
tons love heat, sunshine and moisture. The Crotons are fast be-
coming one of our most beautiful bedding plants. Price, 10
cents each; three for 26 cents.

CYPERUS ALTERNAFOLIUS, Umbrella Plant. | PLUMB AGO S. ey

—— >

Lady Larpent.—This beautiful variety of Plumbago was first
popularly introduced in 1890. Since that time it has so thor-
oughly pleased all who have planted it, achieved such great
popularity, which, coupled with my 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 to a
height of twelve to fifteen inches in compact clumps, and
from the middle of July until severe frost are covered with
lovely rich violet-blue colored fiowers borne in close termi-
nal heads. (I had thouSands in bloom on my grounds the
past season as late as October2sth.) The foliage is unique,
finely serrated and fringing the stems. I heartily recom-
mend this fine variety for edging sidewalks, beds or borders,
or single specimens set in mixed flower vases or beds, where
they appear in lovely contrast with other flowers. Price, 10
cents each.

New Pink Plumbago, Sanguines.—The Plumbagos are very (e-
sirable plants for bedding or house culture, and are admired
by all for their elegant trusses of bloom and the delicate col-
ors of their flowers. The light blue and deep blue and white
varieties are well known favorites, but with the new variety
Sanguinea I 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 bright pink or deep rose. Order
one and be surprised. Price, 30 cents each.

Capensis.—This produces large heads of light blue flowers. It

| has the most peculiar shade of blue of any flower in cultiva-

tion. Always in bloom,and an elegant bedder. Price, 10
cents each.

Capensis Flore Alba.—This is a splendid novelty. The exact
counterpart of Plumbago Capensis except in color, which in
this beautiful novelty is a clear white. This is one of the
leading new plants of the year. Do not confound this with
the old, worthless white. One of the most satisfactory bed-
ding plants out. ITrecommend this highly. Price, 10¢ each.

THE CHINESE LANTERN PLANT,
**Physalis francheti,’’ or Giant Winter Cherry.

Without doubt this is decidedly the most attractive and valua-
ble hardy ornamental plant introduced in many years. It isa
novelty of sterling merit, introduced from Japan by the well-
known English horticulturist, Mr. James H. Veitch, a fact alone

which is sufficient guarantee of its excellence. Itis a gigantic
species of the showy Winter Cherry, and is of the easiest possi-
ble culture. Itis of sturdy, upright habit, and grows about one
and one-half feet high,is perfectly hardy,and will stand out-
doors over Winter, but its beauty may be more appreciated by
growing in pots or boxes outdoors. In the Spring it can be
planted in the open ground. It blooms early and produces the
first season a large number of balloon-like husks three to three
and a half inches across. The husks first appear light green,
then gradually change to bright yellow, and finally to orange-
scarlet. At this period of growth they strongly resemble minia
ture Chinese lanterns when lighted—hence the name, The ef-
fect of the ripened husks among the bright green foliage is sin-
gularly striking. In the husks or lanterns a fruit is borne, much
likea Winter herry or Husk Tomato, except that the coloris a
deep ruby-red, and is in every way superior to the Winter Cher-
ry, either for cooking, preserving or eating raw. The branches
covered with husks are used with splendid effect as parlor orna-
ments, and for Christmas tree decorations, retaining their life-
like appearance for nearly a year. They make an unusually el-
egant appearance when arrayed in tall vasestogether with dried
grasses, Forall ornamental purposes thisisan exceedingly valua-

over Winter anywhere in the South. The vines are killed to the

SOME VALUABLE FRUITS,

The New Japanese Wineberry.— We quote from tke description
of the introducer: “It belongs to the Raspberry family, is a
strong, vigorous grower, attaining the usual height of a Rasp-
berry, and is perfectly hardy in all positions without protection,
Itis,in fact, more hardy and vigorous than any Raspberry or
Blackberry. It stands alike thecold of the Northern Winters and
the heat of the Southern Summers, without the slightest degree
of injury. Its leaves are of the darkest green outside and silvery-
white underneath. The fruit is borne in large clusters, often
seventy-five to one hundred berriesina bunch. These berries
are, from the time of formation and bloom until they ripen, en-
clesedin a‘burr? whichis formed by the calyx covering them
entirely, When ripe the burr opens, exhibiting a large berry of
the brightest, light, glossy scarlet or cherry wine color. The
fiavor of the fruitis entirely unlike any other berry, being very
sprightly, sweet and juicy, having no disagreeable sour, but a
delicate and luscious flavor peculiar to itself and superiorto other
berries. Itis very juicy, and makes the finest quality of wine.
It commences to ripen in the early part of July, and continues in
bearing foralongtime. Itis the most prolific berry known, the
bushes being literally covered with its luscious fruit.’ Price, 20
ceuts each; three for 50 cents; twelve for $1.50.

Lucretia Dewberry.—In this new fruit (which might be calleda
climbing Blackberry) we have the most delicious of all berries,
and one of the most ornamental of all climbing vines. They
should be trained on atrellis or tied to a stake like grape vines,
In the Spring they produce great masses of large, pure white,
sweet-scented flowers, which are followed by clusters of deli-
cious fiuit, larger, richer and far more prolific than Blackberries.
Very juicy and sweet tothe core, The fruit is borne in great
quantity, and is admitted by all to be the finest of berries. When
made into wine it gives a gentle stimulant. which forinvalids is
unequaled, the flavor of the wine being as superior as the flavor
of the fruit. Itis perfectly hardy, and does not sucker from the
roots, but is increased from the tips like Blackcap Raspberries,
It will thrive in very poor soil, This valuable berry in a very
few years will be everywhere planted asthe finest of all smail
fruit, A new sort of immense size and delicious quality. Berries
two and one half inches in length, and borne in great clusters.
Very juicy and sweet. The most valuable small fruit produced
inten years. Price, 20c each; three for 50c; seven for $1.00.

The New and Wonderful Ever-Bearing Raspberry, Earhart.—Of
this wonderful new berry the introducer says: ‘The fruit is of

large size, jet black, and good quality, the first crop ripening the
last of June, About this time the first of the new canes begin to
bloom, and ripen fruit until frost, producing heavy crops as late
as September and October. It isa strong grower, with corru-
gated foliage of dark green color, and has never been known to
Winter kill. Our experience with this berry has been highly
pleasing. The Spring of 1887 we set out one thousand ve
small tip plants, which started at once into a strong growth an
commenced fruiting in August, and continued until frost, pro-
ducing remarkably fine berries,in enormous clusters, We were
surprised to see any fruit at all the first Summer on so small
plants. It is certainly a perpetual bearer, and we believe has all
the good pointsclaimedforit. It winteredin an exposed position
without acane being killed. In fact,it is the hardiest sort we
know. Last sezson the yield of the fruit was marvelous. It com-
menced to ripen July 1st, and bore enormously, and continued
until frost. We consideritin all respects a highly valuable sort
on which too much praise cannothe bestowed. Every onespeaks
highly of it. The Rural New Vorker of October 23, 1886, speaks
in glowing terms of it. It says that one cane September 1st had
three hundred and eighty berries, one-third fully ripe.” Price. 20
cents each; three for 60 cents; seven for $1.00; twelve for $1.50.
Evyerbearing Tree or Topsy Blackberry.—For a Blackberry it is
the largest, finest flavored, most prolific, fruiting for two months,
and requires no stakes, This fine novelty is surely one of the
most desirable new things I ever offered,and what I say of it
I speak from what I have seen and what I have tested, and
not from what others say. It grows from five to seven feet high,
branching freely into fine tree torm, straight and erect, requiring
no stakes, The berries are of enormous size,equalled oly by
the Erie; borne in great clusters, which commence to ripen early
in July and continue into September, making its fruiting pc riod
fully two months or more. The finest BlackberriesI ever ate
were picked about September 1st from some of these plants which
had been ripening fruit since July 8th. They are exceedingly
sweet, juicy and delicious, melting in the mouth without a particle
of hardcore. Its delicate flavor, great productiveness, eno: mous
size, long season of bearing and perfect hardiness in the coldest
part of the country, make it the most valuable of all berries for
family use, Price, 20 cts each; three for 50 cts; seven for $1 U0.
