CYCLAMEN PERSICUM GIGANTEUM, 



or Persian 

 Violet. , , , 



This is a decided im- 

 provement over the 

 old variety, being of 

 a more robust habit 

 and stronger grower. 

 Produces flowers on 

 short, stout stems, and 

 of immense size, often 

 measuring, on well- 

 grown bulbs, two 

 inches in diameter. 

 The foliage is also 

 beautiful, and it is a 

 charming Winter 

 bloomer. 10 cents 

 Cyclamen, or Persian Violet. each. 



QUEEN OF NIGHT CACTUS. 



Cereus Grandl- 

 norus, or Night- 

 Blooming Cere- 

 us. Decidedly the 

 grandest flowering 

 plant in cultivation. 

 Imagine a dozen 

 flowers unfolding 

 with the setting sun 

 their hundreds of 

 wax-like petals, en- 

 circled by a wreath 

 of gold, in continual 

 motion! Imagine 

 such a flower three 

 feet in circumfer- 

 ence, perfuming the 

 surrounding air with 

 the most delicious 

 fragrance known! 

 Does it not deserve 

 its royal title? It 

 grows and blooms 

 with the greatest 

 ease, requires abso- 

 lutely no care, living 

 for months without 

 water, increasing in 

 value yearly. I have the genuine variety, the only one with 

 fragrant flowers twelve to twenty inches across. Can furnish 

 nice plants at 8 cents each. 



Lobster Cactus. Fine Winter bloomer, beautiful pink flow- 

 ers. Blooms when quite small. Nice plants, 6 cents each. 



Night-Blooming Cereus. 



CYPERUS ALTERNIFOLIUS. 



Umbrella Plant. This is a plant of the easiest culture, and 

 a large specimen is as handsome as a Palm for decoration. It 

 makes a handsome pot plant, or can be used in baskets or vases, 

 making a charming effect. It will grow luxuriantly in water, 

 and is, therefore, indispensable for aquariums or fountains. 5 

 cents each. 



CAMELLIA JAPONICA. 



This Is the Famous "Japonlca" of the South. 



Leaves glossy green, 

 flowers of exquisite 

 beauty and waxy 

 texture. From pure 

 white to crimson, in 

 almost endless va- ' 

 negation, the pure 

 white ones generally 

 prized above the col- 

 ored varieties. Cul- 

 ture nearly related 

 to that of the Azalea, 

 but their success is 

 more certain. .Re- 

 quires shade and 

 moisture throughout 

 the hot season. Time 

 of blooming is in 

 Winter and in early 

 Spring. Requires a 

 moderate and uni- 

 form temperature 

 with as little artifi- 

 cial heat as possible. 

 When set with flower 

 buds great care must 

 be taken in watering 

 — when left too dry 

 the buds are sure to 

 drop. We have a 

 fine assortment ot 

 those named below. Plants eighteen Inches high, 75 

 cents each. The set of eight distinct kinds for $5.00; 

 any four for $-4.50. Strong plants 3 feet high, bushy,
