RESURRECTION PLANT 



Most Unique Novelty. 

 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 

 tightlj" together when dry. expanding when soaked. 



10c. each, 3 

 for 25c., post- 

 paid. 



CYCLAMEN ?!^wI^Id"

Most beautiful of all pot plants, giving the 

 richest profusion of elegant flowers: foliage 

 decidedly handsome, being variegated with 

 di-terent 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.

The Napoleon Climber 



This charming climber has a history that is 

 really interesting. When Napoleon Bonaparte 

 was in the height of ids reign, all nations bowed 

 to his conquering power. JIany sent him costly 

 pre.sents and souvenirs almost without end. 

 Among the latter, a province of China sent a 

 bulb of this valualjle climber, which was higtdy 

 cherished by Xapoleon. and the original may be 

 seen growing at A'ersailles by all who may 

 chance to visit the favorite residence of the 

 great Emperor. 



The Climber is a great sill ornament. Per- 

 fectlv 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. .Should be grown 

 in liglit rich soil and mulched every fall.
