Peperomia Muscosa, or Watermelon Begonia 
This is also known as 
the Silver- Leaved Be- 
gonia. Here is a most 
beautiful plant for pot 
culture; easy to grow and 
thrives anywhere; leaves 
deep olive-green, distinct- 
ly marked with silvery- 
white. Thick and waxy- 
like; leaves distinctly var- 
iegated white and green, 
and have the appearance 
of being powdered with 
frosted silver. 15 cents 
WATERMELON BEGONIA 
Ruellia Mokoyana 
RUELLIA MOKOYANA 
This is a charming indoor plant for culture in pots or may be 
used in vases and baskets; of bushy spreading habit and finely 
marked leaves, which are beautiful olive- -green, delicately veined 
with silver and rich purple underneath. A neat and handsome 
plant, always bright and pretty. The flowers are exceedingly 
beautiful, trumpet shaped, and of a rosy-lavender color, almost 
covering the plant in their great profusion. 15 cents each; two 
for 25 cents. 
SANSEVIERA ZEYLANICA, ZEBRA PLANT 
A beautiful plant, specially adapted for the decoration of draw- 
ing rooms and halls, as it stands dust and drought with impunity 
and requires scarcely any water. The leaves are beautifully 
striped crosswise, with broad white variegations on a green ground. 
It is a rare and beautiful plant, which should be abundantly 
grown for positions out of the reach of sunshine, where other 
plants will not thrive. It can be placed in any position in any 
room and do well. It has a singular beauty for decorative pur- 
poses which other plants do not possess,and it is useful both in 
winter and summer. For vases and baskets it is a nine center- 
piece, and grows splendidly out of doors during summer. Fine 
plants, 15 cents; two for 25 cents. 
EVER-BLOOMING TRITOMA PFITZERII 
The greatest bedding plant ever introduced, surpassing the 
finest Cannas for attractiveness and brilliancy, equal to the Gladi- 
olus as a cut flower, and blooms incessantly from June until No- 
vember. Plants perfectly hardy in open ground all winter south 
of Philadelphia. Further north they must be protected or win- 
tered in the cellar like the ordinary Tritoma. Just bury the 
roots in sand; nothing more is required. Should be planted out 
very early in the spring, and will commence growth and bloom at 
once, growing larger and finer every day. Plants show six to 
twenty grand flower stalks all the time, each holding at a height 
of three to four feet a cluster of flame colored flowers of indescrib- 
able beauty and brilliancy. Each cluster keeps perfect several 
weeks, and when it fades several more are ready to take its place. 
Fall frosts do not kill it or stop its blooming, and it is as brilliant 
as ever long after all other garden flowers have been killed. For 
cutting it is unsurpassed, and the beautiful long spikes keep sev- 
eral weeks in water. Strong plants that will bloom the first 
summer, 15 cents each; two for 25 cents. 
BEAUTIFUL AND FRAGRANT VIOLETS 
Of allthe delightful perfumes that of sweet Violets is the most 
delicate and pleasing. f grown in the house for winter flowers 
they should be kept at a low temperature, as they will not bloom 
freely where it is too warm. If left in the open ground during 
winter, protect with a covering of leaves. 
Double White Perpetual=Flowering Violet SWANLEY 
WHITE, or Queen of Fragrance—Of all the white Violet-, 
this is the best, either for pot culture in the house or bedded out. 
In pots it grows luxuriantly and is loaded with flowers. It is not 
an uncommon sight to see as many as fifty large flowers open at 
once, presenting a beautiful sight, their delicious perfume filling 
a whole room. 15 cents each. 
LADY HUME CAMPBELL—A true ever bloomer. This is one 
of the finest of all double blue Violets. It is simply wonderful 
the number of beautiful flowers it produces. In color it is a 
shade of the richest intense blue. It is a charming contrast 
with the white variety. 15 cents. 
NEW IMPERIAL OR PARMA VIOLET 
This is, without question, the largest, richest colored and most 
highly perfumed of all the Violets. It blooms very freely, liter- 
ally bending the plant with its lovely blue flowers of the largest 
size. Its blooming season is longer than any other Violet. 20 
cents; the three Violets for 40 cents.
