 are pure white. It produces these beautiful flowers in great 

 profusion and almost continuously. Price, each, 25 cts,

 sizes, which, considering their size and strength, are very 

 cheap. Price, each, 25 cts. to $1.00, 



CALADIVII ESCULENTOM. 



Variegated Calla (Ricliardia Albo Maculata). 



A summer blooming variety of rare beauty. The flowers are smaller 

 than those of the common Calla, and are creamy white, but the most attrac- 

 tive feature of this plant is its remarkably pretty, variegated foliage, which 

 is green and strikingly marked with irregular blotches of white. Like 

 Ethiopica, the root is perennial, and is usually dormant during winter, 

 starting into growth again early in spring, when it should be repotted 

 into fresh soil. Price, each, 25 cts. 



C^^tisus Racemosus. 



This is one of the most popular and most useful decorative plants 

 in cultivation. It is equally at home in the conservatory and parlor. 

 Towards spring it begins to bloom, and continues for several weeks to 

 produce in great quantities its racemes of bright yellow, sweet-scented 

 flowers. In appearance it is almost identical with the Scottish Broom, 

 of which the poets have so often written. It is especially useful at 

 Easter. Price, each, 25 cts. to $1.00.
