 J'ears when dried. As a plant for

 piant in good, rich soil will cover a 

 space of 3 to 4 feet in diameter, pro-

This i)eculiar 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 fem-Hke leaves both odd and 

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

 tightly together when dry, expanding when soaked.

CYCLAMEN "^I^S 



(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 foUage.

This charming climber has a histor\- 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 pro\Tnce 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 

 \isit the favorite residence of the great Emperor. 



The CHmber is a great sill ornament. Per- 

 fectly hardy, growing up early in spring and 

 spreatUng rapidly. Vines often run 25 feet or 

 more and the clusters of delicate white flowers are 

 beautiful and fragrant. Should be grown in Ught, 

 rich soil and mulched everj' fall.
