JUSTICIA CARNEA 



Brazilian Plume Plant. 



P e r h a ps no 

 plants have at- 

 tracted somuch 

 attention in the 

 last two years 

 as the Justicia, 

 or Brazilian 

 Plume Plant. 

 The plant is a 

 strong, .rapid 

 grower, and 

 throws up long 

 stems.on which 

 are produced 

 fine, plume like 

 pink, flowers, 

 the endsof each 

 petal drooping 

 in a most char- 

 ming manner. 

 When plants' 

 are but a few 

 months old 

 they are literal- 

 ly covered with 

 their beautiful 

 blossoms. It 

 does equally 

 well either for 

 house or out- 

 door culture, 

 8 cents each. 



WEEPING LANTANA.— A New "Weeping Plant 

 of Great Beauty. 



WEEPING LANTANA. 



One of the grandest basket plants grown. The plant has a most graceful drooping habit, growsvery rapidly and blooms contin- 

 ually Summer and Winter, producing large clusters of the most delicate lilac or rosy pink, foliage a beautiful dark green. A single 

 plant on August 1st, this past Summer, had fiv£ hundred and ninety clusters of flowers on it. The same plant December 1st had 

 three hundred and fifty clusters of flowers on, which, proves it one of the most persistent bloo mers, and does equally well V\ inter 

 and Summer. I know of nothing of recent intro- 

 duction that is so easily grown and gives so much 

 pleasure and satisfaction as this beautiful Lan- 

 tana. . Strong plants 8 cents each. 



LANTANAS, OR SHRUBBY 

 VERBENAS. 



The brilliant colors, robust growth and profuse 

 blooming habit of the Lantana render it one of 

 the finest bedding plants I grow. The flowers 

 embrace all of the most delicate shades of orange, 

 sulphur, creamy white, etc., changing from one 

 distinct color to another as they increase in age 

 and development.The varieties I have give a wide 

 range of color, and include the most distinct and 

 profuse kinds. 6 cents each; five lovely 

 colors for 25 cents. 



LINUM TRIGYNUM. 



A plant of great beauty producing inthegreat- 

 est profusion very large and showy blossoms of a 

 bright yellow color. It is probably the freest 

 Winter blooming plant I have. 8 cents each. 



The Wonderf til New Lemon, 

 PONDEROSA. 



Nothing that has ever been brought to my no- 

 tice in the plant line has caused one half the com- 

 motion that this wonderful Lemonhas. Itisatrue 

 ever-bearing variety. On a plant six feet high, 

 no less than eighty-nine of these ponderous Lem- 

 ons were growing at one time. It was a beautiful 

 sight to see. The tree was blooming and at the 

 same time had fruit in all stages of development, 

 from the size of a pea up to the ripe fruit, showing 

 it to be a true ever-bearer. Fruit has been taken 

 from this tree weighing over four pounds. The 

 Lemons have very thm rind for such large fruit. 

 It is the juiciest of all Lemons, makes delicious 

 lemonade, and for culinary purposes cannot be 

 excelled. It is not uncommon to make twelve 

 lemon pies from one lemon. I have secured true 

 stock of this ponderous Lemon, and guarantee the 

 trees to produce the same large fruit. Thisisa 

 hardy Lemon. It has stood 25 degrees of frost 

 without hurting it. No budding or grafting nec- 

 essary. Ponderosa Lemon is sure to become 

 popular when it is known. It fruits when quite 

 small, and makes a lovely house plant. Everybody 

 can grow their owu Lemons; it will fruit freely 

 the second year. Thrifty young plants, 20e each; three 

 for 50c. Large two-year-old plants to bloom and fruit at 

 once, 60c each. 



lemon of Sicily.— (Diuarf.) This is as much ofa wonder 

 as the Dwarf Orange. It bears Lemons the freest of any va- 

 riety in cultivation. A handsome companion for the Dwarf 

 Orange; as it bears fruit when quite small. Fruit is edible. 



Flowers are as fragrant as the Orange blossoms. 10c each; ^^iiii.^*' 



large, strong plants, 30c each. NEW lemon ponderosa. One-fifth the natural size.
