fectly hardy garden plant. 15 cents each; 2 for 25 cents. 
HARDY CYCLAMEN. [ listed this desirable plant 
some years ago,and am compelled to restore it to my 
catalogue. It has a large, solid bulb, and blooms easily 
and quickly, the colors being whiteand pink. In many 
localities this bulb or root is perfectly hardy, and while 
1 cannot insure that it will live in any particular place 
over winter I can recommend that it be given further 
wide trial, and am sure that many culturists will suc- 
ceed in naturalizing it,and that such people will be 
well rewarded. 
a warm situation, partially sheltered from the north

NEW GIANT CALADIUM. 
A new wonderful plant, large and en- 
tirely distinct from Caladium esculen- 
tum, the well-known elephants’ ears, 
and altogether superior to that fam- 
ous foliage plant. The leaves are of a 
bright, glossy green, attaining a length 
of 3 to 5 feet and a width of 2 to 8 feet, 
borne well above the ground. A total 
height of 8 to 10 feet is sometimes 
reached, in rich soil. The great flow- 
er resembles a calla, and is 15 inches 
long by 7 or8 inches broad, at first 
white and then cream colored, with 
delicious fragrance, In poorer soil the 
lant is less colossal in growth and 
evelopment, does well in the window 
or conservatory. It is a magnificent 
thing, and will be widely planted as 
soon as known. Strong roots. 25 cents 
each; 4 for 31.00, postpaid,

JAPANESE FERN BALLs. 
JAPANESE FERN BALLS. A most 
curious novelty. These very interesting 
ferns are independent of both soil and 
moisture. The former they do not require, { 
as they are rooted in moss; and when ¥ 
the latter is withheld they simply dry up 
and go to sleep, to re-awaken when mois- 
ture again reaches them. They are grown 
Suspended in the air, like other air plants, 
and are six inches or more in diameter, in == 
their dormant or dry state, in the moss. 
They will live for years under proper 
treatment, alternately resting and grow- 
ing, according to circumstances. They are 
very satisfactory as house ferns, and at- 
tract much attention and interest. It is 
best to treat them with some degree of 
regularity, giving them water two or three 
times a week during their growing season, 
and no water at all during their resting 
period. These periods can be arranged at 
convenience, but each should cover say 
two or three months or longer. The green 
foliage is light and beautiful. If desired, 
the root-filled bunch of moss may be di- 
vided and placed in a fern dish, but the 
hanging position is more graceful. I do 
not know ofa prettier or more interesting 
house plant among recent introductions. 
Per ball, 75 cents each; 2 for $1.25, postpaid.
