LATANIA 



BORBON- 



ICA. 



The well-known 

 Chinese Fan 

 Palm. This is 

 one of the most 

 exquisitely 

 graceful among 

 Palms. Its wide- 

 spreading, grace- 

 fully arching 

 leaves are ele- 

 gant and effect- 

 i^gHs. ive for apartment 

 decoration. It is 

 considered the 

 handsomest and 

 most valuable of 

 all the Palms.

L1VISTONIA ROTUNDIFOLIA. 



LIVISTONIA 

 ROTUNDIFOLIA. 



The Miniature 

 Fan Palm. 



One of the prettiest Palms. 

 Especially suited for table 

 decorations. The foliage is 

 similar to that of Latania 

 Borbonica, but smaller and 

 gracefully recurved, forming 

 an almost globular plant. 

 Always scarce. Admired by 

 everybody. 



V onus; plants, four- 

 inch pots, four to five leaves, ten Indies high, 75 

 cents each. 



PHOENIX 



RECLINATA. 



One of the hardiest of 

 the Date Palms, with dark 

 green, feathery foliage, of 

 strong growth, and is es- 

 pecially valuable for out- 

 door decoration, as it 

 stands sun and wind with- 

 out the least damage, even 

 in most exposed positions. 



Six-inch pots, twen- 

 ty - four to thirty 

 Inches high, Sl.'-.'i 

 each. 



Seven Inch pots, 

 thirty-six to forty 

 Inches high, $2.00 

 each. phcenix reclinata. 



PITTOSPORUM TOBIRA. 



An elegant hard-wooded shrub. Hardy in the South. Makes 

 handsome specimens, growing into a small tree in a few years. 

 It bears small, white flowers in large bracts, or heads, which are 

 so delicious in fragrance as to remind one of orange blossoms. 

 Fine plants, 15 cents each. 



POMEGRANATES. 



These make shapely ornaments for the lawn, growing into 

 large, shapely shrubs. They are used extensively in the South 

 for hedges. The foliage is small, flowers double and very pretty. 

 I have three varieties — Double White, Double Scarlet 

 and Double Variegated. 5 cents each. 



PANDANUS UTILIS. (Screw Pine.) 



This is a charming plant and is one of our most useful of orna- 

 mental plants. The foliage is green, edged with red; when the 

 plant is fully developed, the leaves describe a perfect screw on 

 the stem, hence the name, Screw Pine. This will go nicely with 

 your Palms and requires the same culture. Give very little 

 water during the Winter season. Price, fine plants, 30 

 cents each. 



EMPEROR PANSIES. 



My Emperor Pansies are the best the world produces. They 

 combine the choicest large flowered sorts, both of European and 

 American growers. It has been my aim to make this the finest 

 strain of this favorite flower in existence. Price, 35 cents 

 per dozen; $2.50 per hundred. Seed of the Emperor 

 Pansies, 10 cents per packet. 



PHRTNIUM VARIEGATUM. 



It is impossible to 

 convey by descrip- 

 tion or cut anything 

 like a correct idea of 

 the great beauty of 

 this new ornamental 

 foliage plant. Its 

 habit of growth is al- 

 most precisely like 

 the Canna, and it 

 grows from a tuber, 

 which may be win- 

 tered dry — like a 

 Gladiolus— if desired, 

 or it may be kept 

 growing the year 

 round as a pot plant. 

 The Canna-like 

 shoots grow from a 

 foot or eighteen 

 inches to three feet 

 high, and the leaves, 

 which are spreading 

 blades of oblong-lan- 

 ceolate form, are 

 from six to ten inch- 

 es long and two to 

 five inches broad. 

 They are bright, pale 

 green, beautifully 

 variegated with pure 

 white and rich 

 cream, the variega- 

 tions being extreme- 

 ly diversified; in- 

 deed, in my beds of 

 thousands of the 

 plants it is almost 

 impossible to find 



two leaves exactly alike. In some leaves the whole area is pure 

 white or rich cream color, in others only one-third or one half, 

 in others again it is reduced to a few stripes or faint lines— and 

 all of these variegations in one plant. It is very free-growing, 

 and one of the most ornamental plants imaginable, either for 

 pot culture or for bedding out. It is a grand plant to border 

 Canna beds with, standing the full force of the sun'srays. In- 

 deed, the fiercer the sunshine the more perfect are the variega- 

 tions of the leaves. The variegations grow constantly better 

 and more varied as the plant grows older and larger. Iti3 

 managed with the most perfect ease, and is absolutely sure to 

 delight all who grow it. Fine plants, 15 cents each.
