THE CHOICEST PLANTS FOR HOUSE CULTURE. 



31 



^Swainsonia Alba^ 



(GALEGIFOLIA.) 



A beautiful new ever-blooming plant for 

 house culture, with pure white flowers, pro- 

 duced in sprays of from twelve to twenty 

 flowers each, the individual blooms strongly 

 resembling a Sweet Pea. As a decorative 

 plant it cannot be superseded for the window 

 or conservatory ; we know of nothing that 

 will give as much satisfaction as the Swain- 

 sonia. Its easy culture, growing in almost 

 any light position, its freedom of bloom, 

 rarely ever being out of bloom, and the 

 grace and beauty of the flower and entire 

 plant, will undoubtedly make this one of the 

 most popular plants in cultivation. 20 cts.; 3 for 50 cts

^New Cuphea Llavaei^ 



A valuable all-fhe-year-around flowering plant. This 

 lovely Cuphea will give the greatest satisfaction; it is 

 the most profuse flowering and healthy variety we 

 know ; planted in hanging basket, pot or vase it will bloom 

 all Summer, after which it can be repotted for Winter flower- 

 ing. It is a thrifty grower and requires no special treatment. 

 The foliage is distinct and handsome ; the flowers are rich 

 hued and stand out well from the foliage ; the shape of the 

 flower is rather curious ; delicate rose-tinted green tubes, the 

 brilliant red petals winging out the tips. We strongly recom- 

 mend it as a choice plant which has certainly come to stay ; 

 makes a splendid centrepiece for a vase or basket. Fine 

 plants for immediate bloom, 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.

The Champion Pot Plant 



SWAINSONIA ALBA. 



Otaheite Orange can be Planted in 

 Pots or Boxes at any Time. Will 

 give Perfect Satisfaction. ? . . . 



The more we see of this unique Orange the better we like 

 it. It is one of the real good things that we feel safe in 

 recommending. We know it will please all. It is a dwarf 

 reproduction of the genuine fruit-bearing Orange tree, the 

 flower being identical. It flowers and fruits in pots, is exceed- 

 ingly floriferous, blooming almost continuously. The fragrance 

 of the flowers is simply delicious, and with one or two plants 

 one can have a generous supply of highly prized and much 

 coveted orange blossoms. It fruits immediately after flower- 

 ing; the fruit measures about three inches in diameter, and, 

 while not so strongly flavored as an ordinary orange, it is 

 quite edible, the difference being but slight. E. J. Saul, in a 

 very instructive article published in the April number of 

 Success with Flowers, page 142, says that on a single plant, 

 twenty inches high, 



ONE HUNDRED AND SiXTY-FOUR BUDS 



were counted. It is, beyond question, one of the most satis- 

 factory plants for pot culture in our collection. A large stock, 

 ranging from one to three years old, enables us to sell them at 

 special low prices.
