BIN OTHING that has ever been brought to our

notice in the plant line has caused one- 
half the commotion that this wonderful Lemon 
has. It is a true ever-bearing variety. Ona 
plant six feet high, no less than eighty-nine of 
these ponderous Lemons were growing at one 
time. It was a beautiful sight to see. The tree 
was blooming,and atthe same time had fruit 
in all stages of development, from the size of a 
pea up tothe ripe fruit, showing it to be a true 
ever-bearer. Fruit has been taken from this 
tree weighing overfourpounds. The Lemons 
have very thin rind for such large fruit. It is 
the juiciest of all Lemons,makes delicious lem- 
onade, and for culinary purposes cannot be ex- 
celled. It is not uncommon to make twelve 
lemon pies from one lemon. I have secured the 
true stock from the Good & Reese Co., of our 
city, of this ponderous Lemon, and guarantee 
the trees to produce the same large fruit. No 
budding or grafting necessary. PONDEROSA 
LEMON is sure to become popular when it is 
known. It fruits when quite small. Nice young 
plants, 50 cents each. 
American Wonder Lemon.—Not nearly so 
large or good as Ponderosa. 20 cents each. 
Lemon of Sicily.—(Dwarvf/.) Thisisas much 
of a wonder as the Dwarf Orange. It bears 
Lemons the freest of any variety in cultivation. 
A handsome companion for the Dwarf Orange, 
as it bears fruit when quite small. Fruit is 
edible. Flowers are as fragrant asthe Orange 
blossoms. 10 cents each; large, strong plants, 
40 cents each. :

Acalypha Sanderii. 
This plant goes under various names. such as 
“Chenille Plant ” ‘Philippine Medusa,” “Com- 
met Plant,’? ‘‘Dewey’s Favorite Flower,” 
“Bloody Cat Tail,’’? etc. Without doubt the 
most sensational new plant introduced for many 
years, and one of the most striking flowering 
ornamental plants we have ever seen. It is of 
strong growth, with large, dark green leaves 
from each axil, of from one to two feet long 
and nearly one inch thick. Rope-like spikes of 
velvety-crimson flowers are 
remarkable floriterousness and the

Fine plants, 25 cents each. 
: y } c gracetully suspended, as shown 
in our illustration, which conveys but a faintidea of the beauty 
and distinct warm coloring of this splendid acquisition. But the 
reat size of the spikes of 
flowers (compared to the plant) are fairly well shown. The plant 
S th easily grown as a Coleus, 
simply requiring a warm temperature to develop its full beauty.

tracted :o much 
attention in the 
last two years 
as the Justicia,

Plume Piant.

strong, rapid 
grower, and 
throws up long 
stems, on which & 
are produced 
fine, plume-like 
pink flowers,

petal drooping

ming manner. %

blossoms. It

well either for 
house or out- 
door culture,
