HOYA CARNOSA. 



Or "Wax Plant; has thick fleshy leaves, growing moderately fast, and bearing umbels of 

 beautiful flesh-colored flowers, from which are exuded large drops of honey -like liquid. One 

 of the best plants for house-culture, as it stands the extremes of heat and cold better than most 

 plants, and is not easily injured by neglect. It can be trained to climb on trellis-work to almost 

 any height, and when in bloom — which continues for upwards of three months — is a most 

 interesting plant. (See cut.) 



Price, 30 cents each; $3.00 per dozen.
