Choice Coniferous Evergreens, 



The few Evergreens offered below are the rarer, choicer sorts of easy culture and perfect hardiness. The plants are all grown 

 either in willow baskets or tubs so that they may be planted at any time with perfect safety. The varieties suiiplied in baskets 

 may be planted out, basket and all, which will gradually decay, thus saving all disturbance of the roots and reducing the risk of 

 loss to a minimum. 



NOTE. — Evergreen Shi-ubs cannot be sent by Parcel Post, but only by Express or Freight at customer's expense. Ko 

 charge for boxes or packing or delivery to Express or Freight lines in Philudelphia.

Aquatic Plants for Aquariums. 



It is doubtful if anything is more fascinating to the 

 young, as well as to the older members of the household, 

 than to watch the development of animal and plant life in 

 the aquaria. Fish will not thrive unless enough plants are 

 growing to furnish them with oxygen. To do this lliere 

 should be not less than one plant to every two gallons of 

 water. The ideal temperature is about 50 degrees, and a 

 shady corner, or a window facing north, is best during the 

 summer, and an east window during the winter. 

 Anacharis Canadensis Gigantea (Giant M'ater 

 Weed). A beautiful submerged plant, with dark green 

 ovate leaves and light stems; of quick growth. The 

 best oxygenator and a splendid Aquarium plant. 15 

 cts. each; $1.50 per doz. 

 Cabomba VIridifolla ( Washington Grass). A pretty 

 and popular submerged plant; leaves brilliant, glossy 

 green, fan-shaped, and more beautiful than the most 

 delicate fern. 10 cts. per bunch; $1.00 per doz.; pot 

 plants, 25 cts. each. 

 Cyperus Alternifolius. An excellent plant for growing 

 in water or damp places; will thrive in any good soil, and al- 

 ways presents a green and attractive appearance. 15 cts. and 

 25 cts. each; $1.50 and $2.-50 per doz. 

 Eichhomia Crassipes Major ( Water Hyacinth). A very 

 showy floating aquatic, bearing flowers of a delicate lilac-rose 

 in trusses like a Hyacinth. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz. 

 Ludwigia Mulerttli. One of the prettiest of the submerged 

 plants. The small, ovate leaves, green above and pink bn 

 the under side, are very attractive and entirely distinct from 

 all other aquarium plants. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 

 Myriophyllum Proserpinacoides {Parrot's Feather). 

 Long, trailing stems, clothed with whorls of the most ex- 

 quisite foliage, as delicate as the Cypress Vine. Planted in 

 water-tight hanging-baskets, so water can be kept standing on 

 the surface, it will trail finely, 10 cts. each; $1.00 per doz. 



Sagittaria Natans. This plant is indispensable for the 

 aquarium, its long, strap-like green leaves resemble the well- 

 known YaUisneria. 15 cts. each; $1..50 per doz. 



Sagittaria Sinensis {Giant Sagittaria). Leaves dark 

 green; broader and stronger than S. Katans, and a freer 

 grower; the best form for the aquarium. 15 cts. each; 

 $1.50 per doz. 



Salvinia Braziliensis. This is a pretty little floating aquatic. 

 The leaves are a soft green, covered with a delicate hairy sur- 

 face. 15 cts. per bunch; $1.50 per doz. 



Vallisneria Spiralis Italian Type {Eel Grass). A sub- 

 merged plant witli long ribbon-like leaves. This is the best 

 of the Vallisnerias, a free grower, and a good oxygenator. 

 25 cts. CMch; $2.50 per doz.
