B. argyreo-violescens. In this species the leaves are of a beautiful violet color, with silvery veins. This being a new plant from South America, we have not yet flowered it, but whatever the flower may be, its magnificent foliage makes it a very desirable plant. Small plants. Si each. BOUSSINGAULTIA BASELLOIDES. The well-known Madeira Vine. Good tubers, 10 cents each, six for 50 cents. CHIOCOCCA RACEMOSA. The Snow-berry.

A native climber with bipinnate CISSUS, Continued. leaves, covered in the fall with beautiful shining black ! berries. 25 cents each. C. incisa. A beautiful tropical species, also na- tive of the extreme southwestern cost of Florida. Leaves compound (three leaflets), evergreen ; a rapid grower, sending down long air roots ; a curious and interesting vine. 20 cents each ; three for 50 cents. CLITORIA. j Delicate climbers, adapted to out-door cultivation in Florida, and for the greenhouse north. C. ternatea. Flowers rich ultramarine blue ; very showy. 25 cents each. C. ternatea alba. Flowers pure white; the two colors grown on one trellis are very attractive. 50 cents each. ECHITES. A class of plants so far very much neglected, prob- ably because the three following species were prac- tically unknown in this country, although cultivated to some extent in Europe. All are climbers, beauti- tiful in flower and leaf, and are well adapted to greenhouse culture north, or for open ground in Florida, as they will sprout readily from the root if killed down by frost.
