GIANT WHITE SCENTED SNAPDRAGON choice plant for pot culture. It is a perpetual bloomer compact and branching in habit, sending up spikes by the dozen, 1 to 2 feet in height, almost and as beautiful as a Gladiolus. Color pure w' lemon-tinged throat, and of lovely fragrance. Flowers keep two weeks after being cut. 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50 cts,; 7 for »L S^NSEVIERA ZEALANICA.—Too much cannot be said in favor of this as a decorative pot plant. There are none so beautiful in foliage, and few that will stand neglect so well as it; it laughs at ill treatment and neglect; thrives without water; gas or dust does not affect it; it is always clean and beautiful. Has long, leathery, sword-like leaves, elegantly marked with bars of silvery gray an immense feathery flower; spikes shoot up from the centre of th plant, which emits a delightful fragrance; grand in every way. 12 cts. each; 4 for 50 cts. THE MANETTIA VINE.—In order to get the most suc- cessful results from this lovely vine allow the roots to be- come pot-bouni. This causes the plant to bloom profusely when it is quite small. Those who have seen this vine in bloom will coincide with us that there is not another vine prettier for window or pot culture, and when grown to per fection is exceedingly beautiful. Beyond the one point given above, it thrives for all with small care ; the lovely wreaths and garlands of brilliant scarlet and orange-col- ored flowers, interspersed with bright, oblong foliage present a striking contrast. 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts. GARDENIA FLORIDA, CAPE JESSAMINE.—Well known and popular ; blooms pure white, large, very fra- grant. Splendid for pot culture. 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50cts. CISSUS DISCOLOR (Trailing Begonia). — Beyond doubt the most beautiful-leaved climbing plant now known. The leaves are long, heart-shaped and as hand- somely marbled and mottled as a Begonia Rex; the under side is a transparent wine red ; entitled to be called su- perbly beautiful. Grows remarkably quick and makes immense quantities of foliage. For trailing over the side of a window box, or for hanging basket, or grown on a trellis in pots, it is one of the most useful and beautiful plants. Likes heat and a little manure water now and then. Strong plants, 15 cts. each; 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for Si SOLANUM RANTONETTI.—The true blue Solanum. It forms a neat little bush 2 feet high, which is covered with bloom during the entire Summer and almost until Christ- mas. The flowers are deep clear blue, with yellow centre presenting a striking contrast. As easily grown as a Gera- nium in pots or garden. 20 cts. each; 3 for 50 cts.; 7 for $1 THE YELLOW JESSAMINE.—Famous for its beautifu golden-yellow, exquisitely sweet-scented flowers, borne i sprays of 30 to 40 flowers. Will grow anywhere; include a plant with your order. 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts. NEW ABUTILON, SOUVENIR DE BON N.-Singularly beautiful and unequaled* for decorative purposes ; makes;, a large bush and produces a great number of lovely flow-* ers. The foliage is handsome—green leaves edged with a purple white band, as shown in illustration ; should be in every collection. 15 cts. each; 4 for50 cts.; 9 forSl.
