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 and as fragrant

as a Jasmine. 
New Giant FANCY-LEAVED COLEUS, CHRISTMAS GEM 
New Giant Coleus, Christmas Gem 
(Brilliancy, or Dr. Ross.) 
Leaves immense, eight to twelve inches long, looks like a 
Rex Begonia, and just as beautiful. Cannot be excelled as 
a pot plant. The name aptly describes the appearance of this 
variety, which belongs to the giant-leaved section; of strong, 
vigorous habit, growing from two to three feet- high, with leaves 
often nine to ten inches long, which are of bright carmine, shad- 
ing off to a deep maroon, the margin being yellow and green, 
the whole leaf having a rich velvety luster, 20 cents; three 
for 50 cents, 
The Wonderful New Coleus 
Trailing Sensation 
This Coleus is an entirely new break, as no one ever before heard 
of a Coleus that trailed. It is the first and only one with this 
habit. The foliage is most glorious, having a large, distinct 
center of bright pink or red, with a broad border of emerald-green. 
No plant is more suitable or showy for hanging baskets, window 
boxes, vases or for pot culture than this one, as its graceful branches 
hang in lovely festoons two to three feet in length. Coleus Trail- 
ing Sensation is in a class by itself. 20 cents each. Put sev- 
eral plants in a basket and see how lovely a plant may become. 
COLEUS—General Assortment 
We have a collection of thirty kinds of the most distinct sorts. 
Leave the selection of varieties to us, as it is hard to describe the 
various tints. 
5 cents each, any six for 25 cents, any twelve for 50 cents; 
twenty-five distinct varieties for $1.00. 
These are all good bedders, standing the hot sun without 
losing their color. Price of Coleus by the hundred when 
sent by express, $3.50, you to pay the expressage. 
CROTONS 
Nothing can excel the beauty and richness of coloring that is 
found in this class of plants. They are beautiful pot plants for 
the conservatory, making very handsome specimens for deco- 
tative and exhibition purposes. They are used extensively as 
bedding plants, for which purpose they are exceptionally well 
adapted. They should be planted in full sun, in a position where 
they can be more liberally supplied-with water, which develops 
the most wonderful coloring in the foliage. Undoubtedly the 
most interesting and showiest bedding in our Springfield yards 
the past few years was made with this plant. ' They are fine for 
basket or vase work. Where we used to sell dozens we now ship 
thousands Leave the selection of varieties to us. We can sup- 
ply twelve choice kinds. Fine plants, 15 cents each; three 
for 40 cents; six for 75 cents, twelve for $1.25. 
CAMELLIA JAPONICA 
Camellia is considered_the queen flower of the South, and is 
called the ‘‘Japonica.”” During the month of May immense trees 
can be seen in full bloom, making the most gorgeous sights to 
behold. Their dark, shiny leaves contrast beautifully with the 
waxy-like blooms, which come in pink, white, rose, carmine and 
variegated shades. No garden is complete without them, as they 
are also quite hardy in the Southern States and require no pro- 
tection or care. They are called the Royal Family of greenhouse 
plants. Time of blooming is in winter and in early spring. Re- 
quires a moderate and uniform temerature, with as little artificial 
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 offer splendid plants, bushy, well-grown specimens,and allin splen- 
did health. The varieties are the best extant, the pick of a continental 
collection. Plants two to two and one-half feet high, $1.00 
each; the set of twelve distinct kinds for $10.00; any four for 
$3.75. All our Camellias are double=-flowered. We can. sup=
