Resurrection Plant. 



Resurrection Plant r^^^arv^if^rPiaWi^I: 



This peculiar plant is found among the pines 

 and cedars of Palestine. It is a ball of tightly 

 folded leaflets, dry and apparently dead. But a 

 transformation takes place once it is dropped into 

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

 loo.se, 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. lOc. each; 3 for 25c., 

 postpaid. 



Phrynium Variegatum. 



Summer Flowering Oxalis 



No bulb is .so valuable for edging the borders of walks or flower beds as 

 the beautiful flowering Oxalis. When planted three inches apart they pro- 

 duce an unbroken row of elegunt foliage and pietty flowers; and as they 

 bloom quickly after planting they furnish a neat and attractive border the 

 whole season. The.y are also splendid when planted in a mass, and make a 

 very showy bed. The bulbs, which are the size of Peas, or larger, can be 

 planted the first of May, or perhaps earlier, and will bloom the first of June. 

 No flower easier grown than this, as they are sure to succeed in all soils and 

 situations. They are also charming when grown in pots and hanging bask- 

 ets and make a very attractive mass of fine foliage and gay flowers. They 

 can be planted in this way at any time during the winter or spring, and 

 will commence blooming at once. Every bulb will grow and flower finely. 

 Dieppi — Pure white; very fine. 

 Lasandria — Fine rosy -pink, beautiful cut foliage.

TigridiaS (Shen Flowers) 



One of the most showy of all summei bulbs, and blooms from raid 

 summer until frost, growing two feet high, with large wide-open triangu- 

 lar blooms, four to six Indies across. The colors and markings are very 

 tirilliant and peculiarly odd and attractive, and clumps of them in the 

 border have a most gorgeous effect. It is difficult to name a flower of 

 such unique and exciuisite beauty as a Tigridia, the superb spotting 

 being so self-like and liandsome. They are easily grown and always 

 more than satisfactory. One cannot without .seeing them realize how 

 trulv beautiful they are. All Colors Mixed, Sc. each; 40c. per doz.,
