R. & J. FARQUH4R & CO.'S AUTUMN CATALOGUE. 



KUMQUAT 



OR KIN KAN 



ORANGE. 



This unique and wonderfully 

 beautiful orange comes from Japan, 

 where it is known as the Kin Kan, 

 which means gold orange ; its 

 other name — Kumquat — is Chi- 

 nese for the same meaning. It 

 bears in the most marvellous pro- 

 fusion little miniature oranges the 

 size of an olive, of a rich golden 

 color, and glittering amid the dark 

 foliage like burnished gold. The 

 whole fruit, rind and all, is eaten, 

 and people become very fond of 

 them. The branches are slender, 

 without thorns, the leaves narrow 

 and oval, and the plant assumes a 

 fine shape. As a pot plant it is 

 one of the handsomest for winter 

 decoration, either in the conserva- 

 tory or window. Each, 50 cents. 

 Dozen, ^5.00, by express only. 



OTAHEITA 



ORANGE. 



This beautiful little orange, 

 which we are accustomed to see- 

 ing in the florists' windows during 

 the winter months, is quite as 

 useful for the amateur's window as 

 for the greenhouse. The golden 

 yellow fruit clings for many 

 months. Each, 50 cents. Dozen, 

 $5.00, by express only. 



THE PIERSON FERN. {Nephrolcph Plersoni^ 



This wonderful new 

 fern has attracted much 

 attention. 



On account of the 

 weight of the foliage, tlie 

 plant assumes an exceed- 

 ingly graceful appear- 

 ance, and, owing to the 

 fulness of the b r o a d 

 fronds, even small plants 

 are well furnished, mak- 

 ing much more sym- 

 metrical and beautiful 

 plants than the Boston 

 Fern. The divided pin- 

 na: keep growing con- 

 stantly, showing two dis- 

 tinct shades of green, the 

 ends being a light green, 

 while the centre and main 

 part of the fronds show a 

 dark, rich shade, the con- 

 trast producing a very 

 beautiful effect. 



Strong Plants, in 6- 

 inch pots, $2.00 each.
