GENERAL COLLECTION OF TENDER PLANTS— Continued 



FRENCH HYDRANGEAS 



Let us tell our friends that these French Hydrangeas are the most meritorious plants brought out in years. They have enormous 

 trusses of bloom that completely hide the plant. They are half hardy and may be planted in the latitude of Philadelphia and in the 

 Gulf and Pacific states. They are also fine as house plants, blooming in the spring time about Easter. When kept at a temperature of 

 70 degreej out of doors they bloom about June.

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 everbearing 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 blooming, and even at 

 the same time had fruit in all stages of development, from the 

 size of a pea up to ripe fruit, showing it to be a true everbearer. 

 Fruit has been taken from this tree weighing over four pounds. 

 The Lemons have very thin rind for such large fruit. It is the 

 juciest 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 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. Everbody can grow his 

 own lemons; it will fruit freely each year. Thrifty young plants,
