COLUMBINE. 



(See Cut.) 



Too much praise can scarce- 

 ly be lavished upon this ele- 

 gant genus of plants. Differ- 

 ent species of it are found in 

 many countries, but those most 

 highly prized for the garden 

 are nearh* all natives of this 

 country. The flowers are very peculiar and striking in their form- 

 ation, unlike an}' others; each flower has five spurs, developed to 

 a great length in some species. 

 These spurs secrete honey. The 

 flowers are of different colors and 

 very fragrant. The plants grow in 

 large clumps from one to two feet in 

 diameter, and produce a large 

 number of most interesting 

 flowers. They flower excep- 

 tionally early in the spring, 

 and the fact of their blooming thus 

 early before many other plants are 

 in flower makes them especially valu- 

 able. You should try it. Hardy 

 perennial. Pkt. 4c. 



CYCLAMEN. 



{See Cut.) 



One of tlie most beautiful winter 

 and spring flowering plants for a 

 window or greenhouse. Not only 

 are the flowers of rare and striking beauty but the foliage is also 

 always highly ornamental, producing a pleasing effect. The colors 

 cover a wide" range of shades, running through pink, crimson, 



white, spotted, etc. 

 Most of them more- 

 over are delicately 

 fragrant being a 

 continual and grati- 

 fying source of the 

 rarest of sweet 

 odors. The flowers 

 are of fine form and 

 are borne quite high 

 above the foliage. 

 These are the flow- 

 ers that attracted 

 so much favorable 

 attention at the 

 World's Fair, call- 

 ing expressions of 

 admiration and de- 

 light from all who 

 saw them. You 

 certainly want to 

 include this elegant 

 plant in \-our order 

 as it will prove a 

 source of unending 

 pleasure to you.
