BOUGAINVILLEA SANDERIANA. 



"We have grown this new Bougainvillea in a greenhouse where it has continued 

 flowering for seven months, small and large plants alike being covered with blossoms. 

 Even plants in thumb pots were laden with bloom. The house in which our plants have 

 been cultivated has been a sheet of flowers from May until December, and at the time 

 of writing (December 30th) the plants are carrying thousands of their brilliant blos- 

 soms. Many excellent judges state that this will be a favorite market plant, as it 

 produces as freely as a Fuchsia its dazzling rosy crimson flowers, lasting so long in per- 

 fection, and produced in smallest pots, under all conditions, in amazing profusion. We 

 can with all confidence recommend this grand plantas a great acquisition." (Introducer's 

 description). Price, |3.00 per doz. 



TUBEROUS BEGONIAS. 



These are now the most popular plants for beds of summer flowers, or as pot 

 plants for the greenhouse, conservatory or sitting-room. Our bulbs are all sound, well 

 matured and of good size. For a time it was generally supposed that these could not 

 be grown in the open air with success, but extensive plantings of them in various 

 sections of the country have demonstrated their adaptability for this purpose. Noth- 

 ing can exceed the brilliancy of their colors, the delicacy of their tints, the richness 

 of their waxy flowers, the gorgeousness of their effect in masses, or their graceful 

 appearance in beds or borders. From the time the first blossom appears until all 

 growth is stopped by frost, they are never out of bloom. {See cut.)

Bright Scarlet, Splendid Yellow, Deep Crimson, Pure White, Rich Pink, 

 Orange Salmon. Any of the above colors, at 60 cts. per doz., $4.00 per 100.

AZALEA INDICA. 



For Easter Forcing. 



We offer a very fine lot of Azaleas, comprising the most distinct and best varieties 

 in culdvation, embracing all shades of crimson, while, pink and rose color. They 

 are shapely specimens, well "headed" double and single flowered and will make 

 splendid plants for Easter decoration. It is almost impossible to ship Azaleas when 

 in bloom and have them arrive in good condition, hence the necessity of procuring 

 them in advance before the buds open. Order early. 



These Azaleas have been grown especially for us by the largest grower in Belgium, 

 and the greatest care has been taken to ensure plants well set with buds, carefully 

 selected varieties that will be certain to please, and compact, shapely plants. By 

 special arrangement we are enabled to offer this grand stock at the following very low 

 rates. Note the sizes. See list of varieties below.

Araucaria Excelsa. 



(Norfolk Island Pine.) 

 Various names have been sug- 

 gested for this grand plant to prop- 

 erly convey to the mind the ap- 

 pearance of it. Some have called 

 it the " Christmas Tree Palm'" from 

 its resemblance to a Christmas 

 tree ; others have called it the 

 ^^ Star Palm," because the leaves 

 are arranged to form a perfect 

 star, but no descriptive name can 

 give any adequate idea of its 

 beauty. It has deep green, feath- 

 ery foliage, arranged in whorls, 

 rising one above the other at regu- 

 lar distances; its symmetry of 

 form, grace and beauty of foliage 

 are unequaled in the vegetable 

 kingdom. It is easily grown in 

 the house and is highly ornamental.
