BEAUTIFUL WEEPING LANTANA. 



Plant is of very rapid growth, graceful drooping habit, lovely 

 dark green foliage, producing a cluster of flowers at each leaf. 

 Flowers are a most delicate, clear, brilliant, rosy lilac color; 

 entirely distinct from any other flower I have ever seen. In-

Jean Ravenal, New Dwarf Salvia — Early flowering; 

 does not grow over 18 inches tall; blossoms as soon as well 

 rooted; blooms from early Summer until late in the Fall. An 

 entirely new variety; different from what I have heretofore 

 offered as dwarf early flowering Salvia. Flowers magnificent 

 effulgent red, produced in grand spikes. 15c, 2 for 25c. 



St. Louis, New Salvia— Great improvement over the old 

 Salvia Splendens. Grows 2/2 to 3 feet feet high; large, bushy 

 plants, covered with immense flower spikes, 12 to 16 inches in 

 diameter, of a vivid scarlet. Comes into flower early and 

 continues until frost. Price, 10 cents, 3 for 25 cents.

 ored flowers, borne in spikes six inches in length.

 spikes of the most brilliant scarlet.

 plant of great beauty, with bright yellow foliage and scarlet 

 crimson flowers. A magnificent plant for edging beds or for

* * CALLAS « * 



NEW CALLA, Fragrance— In this I have not only a charming and use- 

 ful flower, larger than common Calla, produced in great freedom, but a de- 

 lightful fragrance unlike that of any other plant I know. It has been likened 

 to the combined fragrance of lilies and violets. Flowers pure white; foliage 

 dark green, heavily fluted. Price 20 cents each; three for 50 cts; 

 extra large bulbs, 50 cts each. 



BLACK CALLA, Arum Sanctum, Solomon's Lily or the Black 

 Calla of Palestine — This magnificent flower often measures one foot in 

 length and 5 to 8 inches in width. Beautifully shaped and turned, sweet 

 scented. The color is of the richest velvety purple black, while the outside is 

 of pleasing green. Sure to bloom if planted in rich soil two inches below the 

 surface. Price 25 cents each. 



SPOTTED CALLA, Richardia Alba Maculata — The plant is al- 

 ways ornamental, even when not in flower; the dark green leaves beautifully 

 spotted with white. In other respects the plant is the same as the old favor- 

 ite White Calla, except being of smaller habit. Price, 10 cents each. 



WHITE CALLA, or Lily of the Nile — This old favorite is too well 

 known to require any description. I off er dry roots as they are superior for 

 forcing and Winter flowering purposes; they come into bloom quickly and 

 require less room— making less foliage. Price, extra large dormant 

 roots, 25 cts each; first size 15 cts; one year old bulbs, 5 cts. 



NEW CALLA, Little Gem— This little pigmy rarely exceeds 12 inches 

 in height and blooms most abundantly. The flowers are not more than half 

 the size of the common variety and, therefore, can be used with telling effect 

 in bouquets. It is in every way superior as a house plant to the larger grow- 

 ing variety. Price, 15 cents each; extra large bulbs, 35 cents.
