Orchids. 



Of these peculiar, but most interesting and very beautiful plants we have 



a large and complete assortment. Want of space precludes a description of 



any of them or a list of the many species of the several genera we enumerate, 



but we can supply all of the following with many of their species, all in 



excellent condition and at very reasonable rates. We will be 



glad to quote prices on a collection on application.

CATTLEYA TKIAN^. 



Hardy Violet. 



Double Russian. 



A thorough test during the last five years has demonstrated beyond 

 a doubt that at last we have found a violet equal in size, fragrance and beauty 

 to the English favorite, and absolutely hardy, requiring no protection, even 

 in the most severe winters beyond a very light covering of leaves or loose 

 litter, enough to keep the sun's rays off the plants. The flowers are large, 

 double and deliciously fragrant; color, dark shade of blue with tiny spots 



of red on one or 

 two of the petals. 

 Price, each, 15c; 

 per doz., $1.50. 



Double Eng- 

 lish Violet. 



Marie Louise 



— Dark blue, each, 

 10c; per doz., $1.00. 



Marguerites. 



We have a fine 

 lot of this very pop- 

 ular Daisy. Strong, 

 healthy plants, 

 which will produce 

 an abundance of 

 flowers all spring 

 and summer. 



Price, each, 2oc 



HARDY VIOLET. tO $1.00. 



Clivia Miniata. 



(Imantophyllum.) 



A greenhouse plant, belonging to the Amaryllis family. 

 Leaves long and strap-shaped, flowers bell-shaped, orange red 

 and borne in clusters. An excellent house plant. 



Price, each, 50 cts. to $1.00. 



Grevillea Robusta. 



A highly ornamental plant, having long, graceful fern-like foliage. 

 It is very easy of culture and is admirably adapted for parlor and table 

 decoration. Price, each, 25 cts. to 75 cts. 



Primula Obconica Grandi^ 

 florum. 



The accompanying illustration is that of one of the most 

 popular plants ever introduced. Primula Obconica. Since the time 

 of its introduction it has had a remarkable sale, and is to-day 

 to be found in almost every collection of plants throughout this 

 broad land. As a most useful and decorative plant, either for parlor 

 or conservatory it has few equals. Yet at last a variety hav- 

 ing the same general characteristics, but in many respects a great 

 improvement has been introduced. This new one is a compact, strong 

 grower, and produces a great abundance of flowers with little or no inter- 

 mission all the year round. A long, light but wiry 

 and stiff stem supports the flowers. In color they are 

 a delicate lilac, deeper than that of the old variety 

 which at times is almost pure white. Price, each, 25c. 

 Obconica— Each, 15 cts.
