THE NEW HARDY 



JAPANESE 

 SNOWBALL 



A SIGHT TO BEHOLD 

 Grand Beyond Description 



This Japanese variety of the old- 

 fashioned Snowball is one of the m<j~t 

 valuable of all hardy shrubs. It forms 

 an erect, compact plant 6 to 8 feet in 

 height, blooms in June and for a long time the plants are filled with 

 hundreds of big snowy balls that glisten with ethereal whiteness 

 like gems in the sunlight. One f the grandest and most striking of 

 all hardy decorative plant*. Well worth 50c; my price is 15c. each. 



Larger plants 25c. to 35c. each, shipped by express at buyer's 

 expense. 



New Lemon Verbena 



A universal favorite and inval- 

 uable for its fragrant leaves, so grace- 

 ful when mixed with bouquets, 

 They will retain their fragrance for 

 years when dried. As a plant for 

 the garden or for pots it is equally 

 valuable, its fine sprays of foliage, 

 with its delicious fragrance, making 

 it always desirable for bouquets, etc* 

 They flower profusely, and each 

 piont in good, rich soil will cover a 

 space of to 4 feet in diameter, pro- 

 ducing, if the blooms are removed 

 as soon as they begin to fade, a mass 

 of bloom continually. This plant is 

 well known and is very easy to grow . 

 Admired by all for its unrivaled 

 splendor and brilliant beauty. 



Strong and healthy plants 

 only 10c. each. 



THE NEW HARDY JAPAXESE SXOWBALL 



RESURRECTION PLANT 



A Marvel of Plant Life 



This peculiar plant is found among the pines and cedars of 

 Palestine. It is a ball of tightly folded leaflets, dry and ap- 

 parently dead. But a transformation takes place once it is 

 dropped into a bowl of water, for in a short time there is a great, 

 loose, expanded rosette of fine fern-like leaves both odd and 

 beautiful. This can be repeated many times, the plant curling 

 tightly together when dry, expanding when soaked. 



10c. each, 3 

 for 25c, post- 

 paid. 



CYCLAMEN 3SS«^ 



(.PERSIAN VIOLET) 

 Most beautiful of all pot plants, giving the 

 richest profusion of elegant flowers; foliage 

 decidedly handsome, being variegated with 

 different shades of green, helping to show off 

 the richly-colored flowers. In fact, a plant in 

 bloom resembles a tastily arranged vase of 

 flowers and beautiful foliage. 



Price of choice bulbs 15c. each, or 2 

 for 25c. 



Chinese Sacred Lily 



The flower is white with a yellow-tinted 

 cup. The bulbs are large with from three to 

 six various sized offsets, and nearly every off- 

 set bears a flower stalk. Usually grown in a 

 bowl of water. We can furnish them till the 

 last of March, when the supply is usually ex- 

 hausted, and we do not have more until fall. 



Bulbs 15c. each; postpaid. 



The Napoleon Climber 



This charming climber has a history that is 

 really interesting. When Napoleon Bonaparte 

 was in the height of his reign, all nations bowed 

 to his conquering power. Many sent him costly 

 presents and souvenirs almost without end. 

 Among the latter, a province of China sent a bulb 

 of this valuable climber, which was highly cher- 

 ished by Napoleon, and the original may be seen 

 growing at Versailles by all who may chance to 

 visit the favorite residence of the great Emperor. 



The Climber is a great sill ornament. Per- 

 fectly hardy, growing up early in spring and 

 spreading rapidly. Vines often run 25 feet or 

 more and the clusters of delicate white flowers are 

 beautiful and fragrant. Shoul ! be grown in light, 

 rich soil and mulched every fall. 



10c. each; extra long roots 20c. each, post- 

 paid.
