SWAINSONIA QALEQIFOLIA ALBA. 



This certainly is a most charming evei-blooming plant of wonderful freedom of 

 growtli and blooming the whole year through. Every shoot, as soon as it attains 

 the height of 6 inches, begins to send forth large spikes of ivory white flowers, 

 which resemble a •Roman Hyacinth." The individual flower is fashioned after 

 the '-Sweet Pea." Its lasting qualities as a cut flower are remarkable; will last 

 several days when cut and placed in water. Tlie cut flowers of this charming plant 

 are in great demand, and during the past season sold readily for SI. 00 to 82.0io per 

 dozen spikes. As a decorative plant in the window or conservatory nothing will 

 give you as much satisfaction as this elegant Swainsonia. It is of tli^ easiest cul- 

 ture and grows in almost any light position. We consider this the grandest introduc- 

 tion of late years and sure to become a favorite. Strong plants 15c each. S for§1.00.
