OTHER PLANT NOVELTIES. 
Ready for Delivery in April. 
Alternanthera Turvel. This is perhaps the most gorgeous 
of all Alternantheras. It isin the style of A. paronychioides major, 
but the foliage is larger and the plant of much freer growth, same 
dwarf habit but more spreading. In summer the foliage becomes 
brilliant scarlet-red. It is unrivalled for carpet-bedding and for 
edgings. Dozen, $1.50; per 100, $10.00. 
Begonia Pink Beauty. A new hybrid sort, valuable both 
for summer bedding purposes and for winter blooming under glass. 
As a bedding plant it has the appearance of Begonia Gloire de Lor- 
raine in color and habit although more compact. As a pot plant, 
it blooms continuously and is very interesting. Each, 30 cents; 
dozen, $2.00; per 100, $12.00. 
Geranium, Mrs. Charles Pfaff. This is one of the best gera- 
niums in cultivation. It produces enormous trusses of large, 
single flowers of a charming shade of light pink. It is desirable for 
both bedding and pot culture. Each, 30 cents; dozen, $2.00. 
Pelargonium Dawn. This appearance of novelty marks a 
great advance in the Pelargonium family. It is the first one to 
bloom continuously throughout the summer like a bedding gera- 
nium, and as a bedding plant has already created a sensation in 
Europe. It grows to a height of 12 to 15 inches and produces fine 
~ trusses of large flowers of a dark bronzy cerise with the characteris- 
tie dark velvety 
bloteh of the 
true Pelar- 
gonium on
