De- scribed by its discoverer as the most beautiful climber he had ever beheld. It is moderately hardy with protection. The vines are killed to the ground by frost, but it quickly shoots up in the Spring and develops its flowers from June till frost. Price, 10 cents each, 3 for 25 cents. ©lea Fragrans, Sweet Tea Olive. The most desirable flowering shrub of Southern gardens, also a favorite house plant in the North- ern states. Is of deep green foliage. White flow- ers produced in great profusion. They are very fragrant and of easy culture. Price, nice plants, 25 cents, large size, 50 cents. ASPARAGUS PLUMOSUS MOUNTAIN ROSE Beautiful flowering Plumbagos. Plumbago Sanguinea. The Plumbagos are very desirable plants for bedding or house culture and are admired by all for their elegant trusses of bloom and he delicate colors cf their flowers. The light blue and deep blue and white varieties are very well known, but with the new variety, Sanguinea, we have something that is entirely distinct and the prettiest of all Plumbagos. 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 and be surprised. Price, 15 cents each. Plumbago Capensis, Alba. This is a splendid novelty. The exact counterpart of Plumbago Capen- sis, 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 bedding plants out. I recommend this highly. Price
