LOUISVILLE, KY. 71 Hydrangeas. Beautiful blooming plant, adapted to rather shady location. The large clusters of flowers resemble the snowball, only being much larger. HYDRANGEA CYANOGLADA. Large heads of bright, bluish pink, stems black, leaf stalk. 10, 20 and 50 cents. HORTENSIS VARIEGATA. Beautiful foliage of white and green. 50 and 25 cents. OTAKSA. A very beatitiful variety from Japan, giving large clusters of bluish pink flowers in great abundance through the season; the flowers are very persistent, last- ing two or three months. 10, 25 to 75 cents. THOMAS HOGG. This is the finest of all hydrangeas. It is a more free and abundant bloomer than any other; for the florists and all decorative purposes it will be in- valuable. The flowers are all the purest white, of very fine texture, and continue in flower for a great length of time; quite hardy in open ground. 10, 25, to 50 cents. Ipomea Grandiliora. A plant that grows and blooms well with every one; it is a very rapid grower and will thrive and bloom in almost any situation, but of course the growth will be stronger and flowers more abundant if given a good, rich soil and plenty of light. As a vine for cover ng trellises, fences, verandas, etc., it has few equals, often growing thirty to forty feet in a season, and with a little training can be made to cover a large space in a very short time. The flowers are pure white, five to six inches in diameter, and as they expand toward evening have a very striking effect. A good-sized plant will produce fifty to one hundred flowers every evening. They begin to open about sundown and close before noon the following day. 10 cents each; 12 for $1. Ipomea Martoni. This is one of the prettiest of the Ipomea, rapid grower, unsurpassed for vases and baskets, in fact, one of the bst vines for that purpose as it always is in bioom; flowers purplish lilac. 10 cents each. Ipomea Leari. (BLUE MOONFLOWER.) A magnificent variety, bearing azure blue flowers six inches in* diameter. A profuse bloomer and a lovely color. 15 cents. Ipomea, Mexican or Palmata. A distinct and pretty Mexican species, bearing fine clusters of large purplish rose colored flowers. It grows rapidly and succeeds in almost any position; as a plant for cov- ering arbors, verandas, etc., it is invaluable; being tu- berous-rooted it may be wintered like a dahlia. 10 to 25 cents. iVy, English. Valuable for covering brick walls, and upon the north or shady side of buildings; also excellent for parlor orna- ments and most desirable hanging basket plants. Small, per dozen, $1; 10 cents each.
