Chinese Hibiscus, Peach Blow. 



The illustration on the back cover gives but a faint idea of the 

 beauty of this flower. The blooms are immense, on a well-estab- 

 lished plant, and, by keeping the soil rich, they will come double all the time and in great quantities. 

 The flowers are a lovely, shaded pink, with carmine showing in the center. The foliage is always 

 pretty, bright and clean, and the plant is a shapely grower, making it valuable for house decoration. 

 Large mailing plants, 25 cts., postpaid; larger size, 50 cts., by express. 



American Wonder Lemon 0ne of the most 



interesting house- 

 plants we offer, as it bears both flowers and fruit 

 at the same time. The beautiful flowers are like 

 orange-blossoms, and richly fragrant like a tube- 

 rose. The fruits are immense and weigh from one 

 to two pounds each and are excellent for lemonade 

 or flavoring. The plants thrive in an ordinary 

 living-room with little care. First size, 25 cts., 

 postpaid; larger size, 50 cts., by express. 



Everblooming Primrose Simula obconica 



■ 5 ■■ grandiflora). Bears 



splendid clusters of lovely Primroses the whole 

 growing season, and is always in demand on 

 account of the profusion of bloom. The plants 

 grow compact and are very showy. First size, 

 15 cts.; larger size, 25 cts. postpaid. 



Geranium, Marquis de Montmort. I^n 3 



rose" Geranium has been chosen on account of the 

 splendid trusses of flowers it produces, which are 

 almost the exact color of the famous American 

 Beauty rose. The blooms appear in immense 

 florets and trusses, held well above the strong, 

 deeply toned foliage, every truss making a splen- 

 did bouquet. A healthy, strong grower that has 

 won for itself high praise. First-size plants, 

 15 cts. each; larger size, 25 cts., postpaid. 



WilsOnil Fern. ^ ne most easily grown and one 



- of the most attractive table 



Ferns. The growth is even all around, and the 

 crested appearance, so odd and striking, makes it 

 very desirable. First-size plants, 15 cts., larger

Illinois Self- Watering Flower Boxes 



ALWAYS NEAT AND SATISFACTORY— EVERY ONE GUARANTEED NOT TO LEAK 



The boxes are made of 

 heavy galvanized iron, which 

 is painted an attractive green, 

 and are provided with a self- 

 watering device which ren- 

 ders attention unnecessary 

 except at intervals of from 



Patented Jan. 29, 1907. June 22, 1909 



ten to twenty days. Through the tube in the corner 

 water is poured into the reservoir (e) underneath the 

 false bottom (d) which supports the soil (b). 



Customers living west of the Mississippi River who wish these boxes delivered free will kindly add 30 per cent on orders 

 amounting to less than $5, or 20 per cent on orders amounting to $5 or more. To all others in the United States we prepay 

 express charges on orders amounting to $5 or more, when cash accompanies order. 



Sponges (cc) touch the 

 extreme bottom of box and 

 extend upward into the soil 

 in which the flowers are 

 planted, thus supplying water 

 by sub-irrigation. 



Careful trials have proved 

 that plants treated this way thrive much better, 

 blooms will be larger and foliage heavier, than in 

 ordinary surface-watered boxes.
