Cycas Rhvoluta. 



CROTONS. 



Our collection of this beautiful class 

 of ornamental foliage plants embraces 

 twelve of the most distinct, high- colored 

 varieties. As a pot plant for the conser- 

 vatory or window-garden, they have 

 always been favorites. 30 cts. each. 

 $3.00 per dozen. 



CYCLAMEN PERSICUM 

 GIGANTEUM. 



A charming green-house bulb, which 

 succeeds admirably in the house. Strong 

 plants, 20 cts. each, $2.00 per doz. 



OLIVIA MINIATUM (Imantophyllum). 



A pretty lily-like plant, of the easiest culture, and a most desirable 

 house plant. It flowers during the spring and summer months, 

 remaining in bloom for a long period. The flowers are about 2 

 inches long, and are borne in dense clusters of from 10 to 20 flowers 

 on each. In color it is a fine orange-red, shading to buff. We offer 

 good, strong plants at 75 cts. each. 



CLERODENDRON BALFOURI. 



A beautiful green-house climber, and admirably suited for house 

 culture, flowering most profusely with bright scarlet flowers, envel- 

 oped in a creamy, white calyx. 15 cts. each. 



CYPERUS PAPYRUS (Egyptian Paper Plant). 



This makes a most desirable pot plant for the window-garden or 

 conservatory. The stems are triangular and are surmounted by a tuft 

 of long, thread-like leaves, which gives the plant a graceful and 

 striking appearance. 25 cts. each. 



CYPERUS ALTERNIFOLIUS (Umbrella Plant). 



An excellent plant for growing in water or damp places ; will 

 thrive in any good soil, and always presents a green and attractive 

 appearance. 15 cts. and 25 cts. each. 



CYPERUS ALTERNIFOLIUS GRACILIS. 



This is a new variety of the popular Umbrella Plant, with very 

 narrow foliage, which makes it a much more desirable, graceful plant. 

 It is most useful, either as an aquarium plant or as an ordinary house 

 plant, succeeding under almost any condition. 20 cts. each, 6 for $1.00. 



CINERARIA. 



Dreer's Prize Strain. 



Our strain of Cineraria cannot be sur-. 

 passed either for size of flowers or beauty 

 of color. Many of the blooms measure 

 2£ inches in diameter, and none will be 

 smaller than a silver dollar. We have 

 received very flattering reports from 

 florists and private gardeners of their 

 success with our Cinerarias. Fine young 

 plants ready October 15th. 



10 cts. each, §1.00 per doz. 



Cyclamen Persicum Giganteum. 



CYCAS REVOLUTA 



(SAGO PALM). 



These are magnificent plants of noble and majestic habit, and most 

 impressive. They are probably the most valuable decorative plants 

 grown, both for lawn and house decoration; their heavy glossy, deep 

 green fronds resist alike the gas, dust and cold, to which decorative 

 plants are frequently exposed. We grow an immense stock of them, and 

 have this season an exceptionally fine lot in popular sizes for house 

 decoration.
