Beloperone Guttata 



Clivia Miniata 



Fibrous-rooted Begonias 



This class is entirely distinct from the tuberous-rooted sorts and 

 are among the freest-flowering ornamental leaved pot plants for 

 house or conservatory decoration. 



Argentea Guttata. Foliage of rich green, spotted with silver. 

 Corallina Lucerna. Gigantic trusses of bronzy-red flowers in 



bloom continuously from April to November. 

 Haageana. Large trusses of creamy-white flowers, suffused with 



pink, the foliage bold and attractive, of a bronzy-green above 



and reddish on the under side. 

 Price. 35 cts. each. One each of the 3 sorts for $1.00. 



Beloperone Guttata 



This singularly attractive novelty is a relative of the Justicias, 

 but is more slender and graceful in growth. The inflorescence of 

 Beloperone is composed of a series of overlapping bracts or floral 

 leaves, these bracts assuming a rich golden bronze tint when the 

 plant is exposed to full light, and the two-lipped white flowers are 

 produced successively between these bracts. The lower lip of the 

 flower has a tesselated marking of pale purple, while the upper 

 lip forms a hood over the dark stamens and reminds one of the 

 open mouth of a tiny snake. 50 cts. each. 



Bougainvillea 



Crimson Lake. Introduced through the Bureau of Plant In- 

 dustry of the Department of Agriculture. 



The flowers are like all other Bougainvilleas, perhaps a trifle 

 larger, but in coloring none compare with it in richness and brilli- 

 ancy. On first opening a brilliant crimson-lake, retaining this color 

 for three or four weeks, gradually passing to a crimson-carmine. 

 In Southern California and Florida, the Bougainvilleas make 

 gorgeous climbers for outdoor planting, while in the North they 

 are useful subjects as pot plants for the conservatory or greenhouse. 

 Strong plants, 50 cts. each. 



Asparagus 



Plumosus Nanus (Asparagus Fern). There is no better plant 

 for table decoration than this. The foliage is more delicate 

 than that of the finest Fern, being lace-like in its filminess. A 

 plant with half a dozen stalks is a mass of dainty, misty green, 

 among which the stems of a few flowers can be thrust in such a 

 manner as to make a pretty decoration for the table. 25 cts. 

 and 50 cts. each; $2.50 and $5.00 per doz. 



Sprengeri {Emerald Feather). Excellent for hanging-baskets, for 

 bracket use and for cutting. It is one of the best of all plants 

 for the window-box when planted on the outside where it can 

 droop over he ?dge of the box. 25 cts. and 50 cts. each; $2.50 

 and $5.00 per doz.
