HOYT, SEVEN OAKS NURSERIES, BAY VIEW, FLORIDA. VI. Gi2iMBiNe Plants. The beauty of flower or foliage, or both combined together, with airy gracefulness in some, or a dense mass of inter-twining branches clothed with the thickest foliage in others, are the striking characteristics of this interesting class of plants, and suitable subjects may be had in plenty, either for window decoration, or for covering the largest arbors. No collection of plants is complete without at least a few climbers. ABRUS PRECATORIUS. Crab's Eye Vine. A beautiful greenhouse climber, with delicate pinnate leaves ; yellow flowers, follow- ed by bunches of pods, which, when dry, burst open, disclosing the bright red seeds with black eyes ; these are used for making various articles of jewelry, etc. This is the so-called 'Wonderful Weather Plant' that such a fuss was made over last season. Fine large plants, 30 cents each ; 4 for $1. ALLAMANDA. A. cathartica. Guiana. A handsome climber, with large light yellow flowers. 50 cents each. A. cathartica Hendersoni.

The flowers are six inches in diameter, of the richest golden yel- low, and produced in large clusters. 8
