BLUE DAISY. 



{Agathsea Cocleslis.) 



Some time since a friend gave us a plant of this Agathsea 

 and it has given us so much pleasure that -ne offer it here. It 

 blooms profusely, and the color is a rare and beautiful shade 

 of blue, which cbnttasts finely with the golden yellow disk. It 

 is a neat plant in grrowth and the peculiar color (]MazaTine 

 Blue) is very unusual. Price, 30c. each ; 4 for Sl.OO.

{Cyi>erns Altcrni/oUa.) 



For indoor decoration few plants are 

 more ornamental thi.n Cyperus Alterni- 

 folia. Jt grows rapiiUy in moist soil, and 

 will remain green the whole year round. 

 The ea'riestand most useful plan for grow- 

 ing it is in a bowl, dish or vase half filled 

 with rich soil and then filled up with 

 water. Much time and trouble is thus 

 saved, and in this way it will grow luxuri- 

 antly, making a hundred or more flow- 

 erinj» shoots in a season, and requiring 

 no other attention than the filling of the 

 vase with water when nearly dry. ^\^len 

 the stem has reached a height of about 

 20 inches, it will produce a dense tuft of 

 small white flowers. After these have 

 faded a miniature plant appears on the 

 top of each flowering stem, and grows 

 there for quite a long while; it can then 

 be cut off and easily rooted by being laid 

 in a bowl of water. Price, 20c. each ; 3 for 

 50c

Feathery Foliage and Pure "White Flowers. 



AVe bring prominently before flower lovers this very distinct 

 climbing plant. The Swainsonia ^^•as but recently brought to 

 this country from Australia. The habit of growth is extremely 

 graceful, and the vines, trained up at the side of a window or 

 on a trellis, present a lovely sight of light-green, feathery foliage, 

 and pure white sprays of fairj--winged flowers, somewhat 

 resembling sweet peas in form. Easily grown, and under favor- 

 able conditions it is almost a perpetual bloomer. There is 

 certainly no climbing vine for house, conservatorj' culture or 

 choice locations in the garden that is more desirable than this 

 fine, new plant. Fine plants of SwaiTtsonia by mail, post-paid, 

 20c. each.; 3 for 50c.
