General Collection of Plants— Continued 



Spider Lily 



This is one of the prettiest and daintiest of all 

 Lilies. It is pure white with bands of a greenish 

 color through the flower; this green and the white 

 make a charming combination that everyone ad- 

 mires. The filaments and stamens of this choice 

 Lily resemble a huge spider; not repulsive, but the 

 most beautiful and delicate of all Lilies. Each, 40c; 

 three for $1.00. 



Ponderosa Lemon. 



Wonderful New Lemon, Ponderosa 



Nothing that has ever been brought to our notice 

 in the plant line has caused half the commotion that 

 this wonderful lemon has. It is a true ever-bearing 

 variety. On a plant six feet high no less than 89 

 of the Ponderosa Lemons were growing at one time. 

 It was a beautiful sight to see. The tree was bloom- 

 ing, and even 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 thin 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. We have the 

 entire stock of this ponderous lemon and guarantee 

 the trees to produce the same large fruit. No bud- 

 ding or grafting necessary. 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 his own lemons; it- will fruit 

 freely each year. Thrifty young plants, 25 eeiit« 

 each. Larger plants, SO eents ; extra strong, 75 cents. 

 Large plants, ready for blooming, $1.25 each.

Otaheite Orange 



This valuable and distinct variety of the Orange 

 family is a dwarf, compact grower, with glossy, 

 deep green foliage, which has a decided odor of the 

 Orange trees of Florida, and is exceedingly florifer- 

 ous, producing a wonderful profusion of pure white 

 flowers of the most delicious fragrance. Otaheite 

 fruits immediately after flowering, bearing fruit 

 about one-half the size of the ordinary Orange, re- 

 taining in a marked degree its sweetness. This 

 unique Orange cannot be equaled as a winter- 

 blooming pot plant for house culture. Requires but 

 little sunlight, and flowers and fruits when but 

 twelve to fifteen inches high. With a couple of 

 plants of it you can have an abundance of the far- 

 famed and delicate Orange blossoms. We have 

 grown a large stock of clean, vigorous plants that 

 will bloom and fruit at once. Good plants, 25c each; 

 large, strong plants to bloom and bear profusely at 

 once, 50c, 75c and $1.25 each, according to size.
