 a \igorous, rapid and healthy grower, pro- 

 ducing an abundance of blooms, which are 

 bright crimson, surmounted by peariy white 

 petals, affording a striking contrast against 

 the dark green foliage. A really beautiful 

 plant, one of the finest for Winter bloom-

 3-inch pot plants. 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50 cts.; 

 extra-large blooming plants, 50 cts. each,

Cissus Discolor (Trailing Begonia). 



Beyond doubt the most beautiful-leaved 

 climbing plant now known. The leaves 

 are long, heart-shaped, and as hand- 

 somely marbled and mottled as a Begonia 

 Rex ; the under side is a transparent 

 wine -red; entitled to be called superbly 

 beautiful. Grows remarkably quick and 

 makes immer.se quantities' of foliage. 

 For trailing over the side of a window box, 

 or for hanging basket, or grown on a trellis 

 in pots [see cut), it is one of the most useful 

 and beautiful plants. Likes heat and a 

 little manure water now and then. Strong 

 plants, 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for gl. 



Sanseviera Zealanica. 



Too much cannot be said in favor of this 

 as a decorative pot plant. There are none so ' 

 beautiful in foliage, and few that will stand 

 neglect so well as it ; it laughs at ill treat- ' 

 ment and neglect: thrives without water; ' 

 gas or dust does not affect it; it is always | 

 clean and beautiful. Has long, leathery, : 

 sword-like leaves, elegantly marked with i 

 bars of silvery gray ; an immense feathery 

 flower ; spikes shoot up from the centre o'f 

 the plant, which emits a delightful fra- > 

 ' grance ; grand in every way {see cut). Fine | 

 i plants, 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50 cts.; extra- | 

 large plants, -10 cts. each, postpaid by mail. ,
