BEGONIAS. 



Old favorites admirably adapted for both 

 house culture and outdoor bedding. The two 

 varieties we offer are wonderful bedders ex- 

 celling Geraniums in wealth of bloom and 

 display of color and in hardiness, withstand- 

 ing wonderfully the heat and drought of our 

 summers. They succeed remarkably well also 

 in pots in the house or conservatory, bloom- 

 ing for months without cessation. 

 B. Erfordia — Triumph of Stuttgart — Surely a 

 "Triumph" in bedding Begonias. Note the 

 remarkable profusion of bloom shown in 

 the illustration. This photograph was taken 

 late in September, and the bed had been a 

 mass of bloom all summer in spite of the 

 drought and though exposed most of the 

 time to the blazing heat of the sun. The 

 flowers are a beautiful rosy pink, foliage 

 deep-green and glossy. 



B. Gracilis Luminosa — Similar to the forego- 

 ing in habit, hardiness and general adapti- 

 bility. The flowers, however, are bright 

 scarlet. This variety is also remarkably 

 well adapted for bedding in the open, fully 

 exposed to the sun. We consider it the 

 more desirable, however, of the two be- 

 cause of the dazzling red color of the flow- 

 ers. Each 15c; per dozen $1.50. 



CASTOR OIL BEAN. 

 Ricinus. 



A sub-tropical plant, especially valuable for the adornment 

 of the lawn, either" planted singly or in groups in combination 

 with Cannas, Caladiums and like ornamental plants. We 

 have all the varieties which when fully developed range in 

 height from 3 to 15 feet. Plants will be ready to ship in May. 

 Price, each, 15c; per doz. $1.50 



CARNATIONS. 



Of these very popular plants we carry an extensive assort- 

 ment in White, Pink and Red. Each. 10c; per doz $1.00 



COLEUS. 



"Foliage Plants." — Considered indispensable for border and lawn decora- 

 tion.

 ing in beds or borders where it is desirable to produce a striking effect 

 with solid colors: 



Chicago — A clear, bright yellow. 



Milwaukee — Canary yellow, faintly veined with maroon. 



Her Majesty — Golden bronze.

 Price, each 10c; per doz $1.00 



COLEUS — Our Selection, per 100, bv express $0.00 



COLEUS — Customer's Selection, per 100, by express 7.00 



CYCLAMEN PERSICUM — Giganteum. 



For conservatory or parlor culture the Cyclamen has few equals. All 

 lovers of plants are familiar with it, and all admire it. It is, as we have 

 repeatedly said, perhaps the most popular plant in cultivation to-day. No 

 trouble attends its culture. It succeeds equally well in the greenhouse and 

 parlor window, producing freely its charming blossoms of great variety 

 and beauty of coloring, from the purest white to the darkest crimson. 

 Price, in early summer, 15c each; per doz .'. . . .$1.50
