CATALOGUE OF RARE FLORIDA FLOWERS AND FRUITS FOR 1894. Gelsemium Sempervirens, or Yellow Jessamine. Doubtless almost every one has either read or heard of the famous Southern Yellow Jessamine—a pot-grown specimen of which is shown in the cut. Tourists go into ecstacies over it, and carefully press sprays of the exquisite blooms to carry to their Northern homes as mementoes of a winter spent in "The Land of ; But it does not seem to be generally known that it is one of the easiest grown climbers in cultivation, suc- ceeding in any soil—wet or dry, rich or poor—though like all plants, fully appreciating and repaying good cultivation. It it quick-growing, has beautiful shining evergreen foliage, and for several weeks in the spring is completely covered with its beau- tiful golden-yellow, exquisitely sweet scented, funnel-shaped flowers. A large vine in full bloom is a sight never to be for- gotten, and one beyond the power of pen to describe. North of Washington the vine should be laid on the ground in the fall and well covered with straw, evergreen boughs or rubbish. It may be grown in a pot or box, trained on a trellis and wintered in the living room or cellar, which would, perhaps, be the best plan at points far North where the winters are unusually severe. As a trellis plant for the window nothing can be more beautiful and desirable, as it blooms young and is ornamental at all times. A well grown specimen would create a sensation anywhere. It is deserving of extensive cultivation, and we hope its dissemination will net cease until it is grown by every one who loves beautiful iiowers. With slight protection it has proved perfectly hardy in Illinois, and also in Philadelphia. Price of fine pot-grown plants, which are sure to grow off rapidly, each. Pereskia Aculeata.
