General Collection of Tender Plants— Continued 



Antirrhinum or Snapdragon. 



Antirrhinum 



(Snapdragon) 



Snapdragons are among the most popular bedding plants; the richness and diversity 

 of their colors, their great freedom and protracted blooming season giving them 

 great value for garden color masses, as well as for cutting. They have dark and 

 glossy leaves; and curiously pea-shaped flowers with uniquely marked throats, set 

 densely in long, upright racemes. The; bloom in July. We have the following 

 colors: White, Scarlet, Yellow, Pink and Rose. Price, 10 cents each ; 3 for 25 cents. 



Australian Silk Oak 



(Grevillea Robusta) 



A splendid Ferny-leaved, evergreen plant; makes a magnificent pot plant for all 

 sorts of decorative purposes. In conjunction with Palms and Ferns, or in an ordi- 

 nary collection of house plants, it is at once striking and graceful. It will thrive 

 where a Geranium will exist. In the open ground in Florida and the South, it makes 

 a superb lawn or street tree, producing a profusion of golden-yellow flowers which 

 are exceedingly rich in honey. Price 15 cents each. 



Brugmansia or Angel's Trumpet 



The Brugmansia blooms indoors in winter and in the garden in summer. The 

 plant has large, tropical leaves with blooms eight inches long by six inches wide at 

 the mouth resembling a trumpet, hence the name "Angel's Trumpet." Pure white 

 in color, delicate fragrance. Fine plants, 25 cents each. 



Buxus 



(Ornamental Box) 

 (Sempervirens) — Useful for edging and bordering walks, etc. A handsome 

 shrub with deep green foliage. This is not a dwarf as the Sempervirens Nana, but 

 we find it so much more vigorous and hardy that we advise planting this and trim- 

 ming to height required. Fine for individual plants; can be trimmed into any shape 

 desired. 15 cents each; 3 for 40 cents; 12 for $1.55. Larger plants, 15 to 18 

 inches, 50 cents each; $5.00 per dozen. 



I received your plants^and was greatly pleased in every way. It was a pleasure 

 to accept them when I saw the way they were packed, and I think I will have 

 success with them all. Mrs. J. T. Me^-er, 



New Jersey. 



Browallia Gigantea 



Flowers intense blue. Looks like a giant blue violet. Blooms all the time 

 and is a charming plant for the house. Price, 15 cents each. 



Buddleya 



(Butterfly Bush or 

 Summer Lilac) 



The best semi-hardy shrub in the 

 world; makes a large plant the first 

 season from a small start. Blooms 

 profusely all summer, and by "hilling 

 up" on approach of freezing weather we 

 believe will come out all right in spring. 

 Attracts all sorts of butterflies owing to 

 the lovely fragrance of the beautiful 

 long lilac spikes of bloom. Cannot say 

 enough in its praise. Young plants, 

 20 cents each; 3 for 50 cents. Large 

 plants, 40 cents each. 



Buddleya Asiatica 



winter bloomer. Price, 



Browallia Gigantea.
