CYCLAMEN. 



CYCLAMEN PERSICUM-Giganteum. 



For conservatory or parlor culture the Cylcamen 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. Price, large plants in bud or bloom, 

 each, 75 cts. to $1.00. Small plants, also sure to bloom, each, 25 

 cts. to 50 cts. 



COBvEA SCANDENS. 



This handsome and rapid growing climbing plant is consid- 

 ered to-day almost indispensable for decorative purposes. It is 

 very useful for shading verandas or bowers, or for covering un- 

 sightly fences and such like. Price, each, 25 cts. 



DATURA CORNUCOPIA. 



Double Horn of Plenty. 



This is one of the most attractive plants ever introduced ; too 

 much cannot be said in its praise. It is very easily grown, and 

 produces its large trumpet-like flowers almost continuously and in 

 marvelous numbers, a single plant often producing several hundreds 

 of flowers in a season. The plant is robust and bushy in habit; 

 flowers 8 to 10 inches in length and 5 to 7 inches across, and ap- 

 pearing like three distinct flowers in one; color, white inside, 

 purplish outside. Price, each, 25 cts. 



DRACAENA. 



Very ornamental 

 pot plants, also useful 

 for vases. 



Imlivisa — Foliage 

 dark green; about 3 

 feet long and 1 inch 

 wide, tapering to a 

 point; very graceful. 



Terminalis — Beau- 

 tifully variegated red, 

 pink and yellow. 

 Each, 25 cts.; large 

 plants, $1.00 to $3.00. 



CYPERUS ALTERNIFOLIUS-Umbrella Plant. 



For house culture we 

 really cannot recom- 

 mend this plant too 

 highly. No descrip- 

 tion is necessary, as al- 

 ready it is so univers- 

 ally well known, but 

 we wish simply to 

 call attention to some 

 of its qualifications 

 perhaps not generally 

 known. No other 

 plant is so easily man- 

 aged. All it is partic- 

 ular about is plenty of 

 water. It is most at 

 home in an aquarium, 

 although it is an ex- 

 cellent pot plant, even 

 if only kept moderate- 

 ly moist. But to have 

 it in perfection, set 

 the pot in a saucer, or 

 better still, in ajardi- 

 nier kept filled with 

 water. Any tempera- 

 ture usual in a house 

 suits it. Stood in a 

 window of any expos- 

 ure it is all right, but 

 it seems to succeed best in a shady place. Even in the middle or 

 corner of a rather dark room it is quite at home. When age be- 

 gins to turn the leaves yellow, these should be cut off close down to 

 the pot, and very soon new leaves will spring up, and the plant will 

 renew its beauty. 



Price, each, 10 cts ; large plants, 25 to 50 cts. 



CYPERUS ALTEKNIFOLIUS . 



DRAC/ESA INDIVISA.
