MISS MARY E. MARTEST, FLORAL PARK. NEW YORK 



A Few Novelties for 1917 



Brugmansia, or AngeVs Trumpet 



Here is a plant for the masses. It grows 

 easily, blooms freely, and the flower is some- 

 thing to be proud of. The Brugmansia blooms 

 indoors in winter and in the garden in sum- 

 mer. The plant has large, tropical leaves, with 

 blooms eight inches long by six inches wide 

 at the mouth resembling a trumpet, hence the 

 name "Angel's Trumpet." Pure white in color 

 and as fragrant as a Jasmine. Blooming plants, 

 30c. each.

Lettuce, Burpee's "Way ahead"

 outer leaves are a light green, while all the inner

 mirably adapted for hanging baskets and vases. The
