ICE PLANT. 



A handsome and curious plant for hanging 

 baskets, rock work and vases. The leaves and 

 stems appear as though covered with ice crv- 

 stals. The whole plant is peculiarly brilliant 

 in the sunshine, thriving best in a dry, loamy, 

 or sandy soil, requiring a. warm, sunny situa- 

 tion. Half-h^rdy annuals. 



Crystallinum. Flowers wirfe. 4 



PANSY (Heartsease). 

 The Pansy is the most popular of all flowers 

 grown from seed. It is everywhere popular, 

 both for the brilliant beauty of its flowers and 

 the long continuation of bloom. By plucking 

 off the flowers as soon as they begin to fade, 

 the succeeding flowers will be much more num- 

 erous and of larger size than if they are allowed 

 to go to seed. Pansies delight in a cool, moist 

 situation, partially protected from the hot noon- 

 day sun; in exposed positions in the hot sum- 

 mer weather, the flowers will be smaller. Seed 

 sown latter part of August or forepart of Sep- 

 tember, will make strong young plants for early 

 spring blooming. Protect in winter with leaves 

 or evergreen branches. Hardy perennials.
