Lantanas, or Shrubby Verbenas 



The brilliant colors, robust growth and profuse blooming 

 habit of the Lantana render it one of the finest bedding plants 

 grown. The flowers embrace all the most delicate shades of 

 orange, sulphur, creamy-white, etc., changing from one dis- 

 tinct color to another as they increase in age and develop- 

 ment. The varieties I have give a wide range of color, and 

 include the most distinct and profuse kinds ; fine for baskets 

 and vases or porch boxes. Price, 8 cents each, three for 25 

 cents, twelve for 75 cents. 



WEEPING LANTANAS 



A New Weeping Plant of Great Beauty. 



One of the grandest basket plants grown. The plant has a 

 most graceful, drooping habit, grows very rapidly, and blooms 

 continuously summer and winter, producing large clusters of 

 the most delicate lilac or rosy-pink ; foliage a beautiful dark 

 green. A single plant on August 1st this past summer had 

 five hundred and ninety clusters of flowers on it. The same 

 plant December 1st had three hundred and fifty clusters of 

 flowers on, which proves it one of the most persistent bloom- 

 ers, and it does equally well winter or summer. I know of 

 nothing of recent introduction that is so easily grown and 

 gives so much pleasure and satisfaction as this beautiful 

 Lantana. Price, 10 cents each, three for 25 cents. 



The Wonderful New Lemon 



PONDEROSA 



My New Ponderosa Lemon is what I claim for it. Largest 

 freest blooming, fruiting and most delicious of all Lemons. 



Nothing that has ever been brought to my 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 eighty-nine of the ponderous Lemons 

 were growing at one time. It was a beautiful sight to see. 

 The tree was blooming, and 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 pur- 

 poses cannot be excelled. I have the entire stock 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, and makes a lovely house plant. Every- 

 body can grow his own lemons ; it will fruit freely each year. 

 Thrifty young plants, 10 cents each, three for 25 cents; strong 

 one-year-old plants, many of which will fruit this year, 25 

 cents each; strong two-year-old plants, 50 cents each; extra 

 strong, handsome plants, to bloom and fruit at once, $1.00 to 

 $1.50 each, according to size. 



SWEET GERMAN MYRTLE 



The Jew op Bride's Myrtle 



This is the handsome, upright, evergreen plant, suitable for 

 pot culture in the house, has small glossy green leaves that 

 are very fragrant. "This is scarce and rare. Fine plants, 25 

 cents each ; three for 50 cents. 



The Beautiful Dwarf Ornamental 



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 Tree of Florida, and is ex- 

 ceedingly floriferous, producing a wonderful profusion of pure 

 white flowers of the most delicious fragrance, identical with 

 the much-sought-for blooms of the Southern Orange groves. 

 Otaheite fruits immediately after flowering, bearing fruit about 

 one-half the size of the ordinary Orange, retaining in a 

 marked degree their 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. As a pot plant this lovely dwarf 

 Orange is one of the most novel and beautiful that can be 

 grown. With a couple of plants of it you can have an abun- 

 dance of the far-famed delicate and fragrant Orange blossoms. 

 I have grown a large stock of clean, vigorous plants of this 

 beautiful Orange that will bloom and fruit at once. I com- 

 ment it to my friends as a novelty of sterling worth and 

 merit. Fine plants, 10 cents each; large, strong plants, ready 

 to blot n and bear profusely, 25 cents each; extra large, strong 

 plants, 50 cents each. 



OLEANDERS 



These old-fashioned shrubs are becoming immensely popular 

 again. I am growing and selling them by thousands. No 

 plant makes more handsome specimens in tubs for the ve- 

 randa or yard. Can be wintered in the cellar. 

 LUTEA — Has double primrose-yellow flowers of a lovely shade, 



also fragrant. Scarce. Price, 15 cents each. 

 ROSEA — Has double pink flowers. The old favorite. Very 



sweet. Price, 15 cents each. 

 ROSEA VARIEGATA— Foliage is green, deeply edged with yel- 

 low; pink flowers. Price, 20 cents. 

 LILIAN HENDERSON— Has double white flowers of the largest 

 size. Fragrance like the old double pink. Scarce. Price, 

 15 cents each. 



The four different colors of Oleanders for 50 cents. 



Ponderosa Lemon.
