Shower of Pearls Rose 
This rose belongs to a distinct class of 
tiny roses, called Polyanthea hybrida plena. 
The Cecil Brunner and others of its class are 
Polyanthea roses, but “Shower of Pearls” is 
a miniature rose, with small foliage rarely 
growing more than two feet high. It is an 
exquisite snow white single rose that grows 
in lovely sprays, with round wide open flow- 
ers like showers of pearls, over the plant. It 
has a most dainty delightful fragrance, re- 
minding one of early spring flowers and is 
unlike any other rose ever before offered. 
These miniature roses can be grown from 
seed and come in shades of pink and white, 
semi-double and single bringing many vari- 
eties; the flowers sometimes being only 1% 
inches across, all charming. “Shower of 
Pearls” takes the lead. 
Climbing Roses 
Beauty of Glazenwood. Commonly call- 
ed “Gold of Ophir.” Climbing. A combination 
of copper, carmine and salmon yellow. 
True Friend of Climbing Cecil Brunner.\ 
A most exquisite new climbing rose, the

shape and color, but a most vigorous 
climber and profuse bloomer. The long, 
graceful branches are wreathed with the 
charming flowers.

single. It is invaluable for hedges, : for 
covering unsightly places, for trellises or 
arbors. It has immense branches, resembling 
the trunks of small trees. The old plants 
bloom some all the year, but for three 
months in the spring, it is a sheet of white 
bloom. The foliage is always clean, glossy 
and beautiful.

MNEYA COULTERI. (Matilija Pop- 
py:) This fine perennial is of 
supreme and stately beauty; as an out- 
door plant it may well be considered one 
of the best for yielding a long succession 
of blooms, flowering as it does, from July 
until November. It is of value as a cut 
flower, lasting well in water, and its deli-' 
cate Primrose-like perfume is most accept- 
able in a room. The texture of the petals 
is extremely delicate, indeed half trans- 
parent; they never lose the crumpled folds 
that in the case of most poppies betoken 
a newly opened state. The flowers are very 
large, 4 to 5 inches across, pure white, with 
a bunch of yellow stamens resembling 
large white single Paeonias. Strong plants 
75e and $1 each. 
RUSSELLIA Elegantissima. A vast im- 
provement of the old Russellia. The habit 
is drooping, the slender branches and 
leaves completely hidden by hundreds of 
the vivid scarlet tubular flowers. It is 
so floriferous that tiny cuttings show more 
flowers than leaves. It is one of the 
finest and best new plants ever introduced 
and one that will give satisfaction to 
everyone. 15c. 
SALVIA Splendens grandiflora pendula. A 
beautiful variety that bears very long, 
drooping spikes of flowers; larger and 
handsomer than the old specimens. 15c; 
$1.50 per doz. 
SANSEVIERA Zeylanica or Zebra Plant. If 
a plant is wanted to grow anywhere, in 
or/out of the sun, to stand drought, dust, 
fresh and 
healthy, order one of these Sansevieras. 
They are beautiful plants, splendidly 
adapted for the decoration of rooms and 
halls, for the center of vases, baskets, etc., 
as they stand all manner of abuse (except 
freezing and over watering) with impun- 
ity, even preserving their cheerful look 
when you have forgotten to water them 
for a month. 15c to 50c.
