Baby primrose. 



One of the daintiest new plants that has 

 been introduced in years. Our illustration 

 shows how freely it bears its long-stemmed 

 flowers of delicate rose. It is valuable from 

 every standpoint. The flowers remain 

 fresh for two weeks after cutting. It 

 blooms throughout the entire year, pro- 

 ducing succession after succession of 

 flowers. It will grow in almost any situa- 

 tion, hot or cold. Its flowers have become 

 exceedingly popular among the fashionable 

 set in New York and Philadelphia. As 

 yet very scarce. 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50 

 cts.; 7 for $1. 



Catla Lilies.

Ease of culture, freedom of bloom and 

 beauty of flower have made these Lilies 

 almost indispensable. They are good at 

 all seasons of the year. 



LITTLE GEM. — Is indeed a pigmy, scarcely 

 ever growing more than twelve inches high, yet it 

 produces its snowy-white flowers with the greatest 

 freedom ; it is not an unusual sight to see ten to 

 twelve flowers on a well-established plant. Try it. 

 15 cts. each ; 2 for 25 cts.; 9 for $1. 



SPOTTED CALL A. — Leaves dark, rich green, 

 exquisitely dotted with white marks. Ornamental

 9 for#i. 



THE TRUE BLACK CALLA {Aru?n Sanc- 

 tum). — Well known as one of the most magnificent 

 and stately plants. A native of the Holy Land.

 a foot in length and five to eight inches wide. In- 

 side of flower purplish black, outside pleasing 

 green. The centre spadix rises from the flowers to

 collection, it having been imported from the Far 

 East. We offer it now, in limited quantities — 

 strong plants that are ready to go right ahead and 

 make strong, bearing trees. Splendid as a pot or 

 tub plant, for growing indoors during the Winter. 

 It will produce three crops in a season. The fruit 

 is delicious beyond description, being large and 

 sweet, and almost seedless ; especially delicious 

 when eaten fresh from the tree.

 house, conservatory or shaded situation. We have one of the finest and largest stocks in the country, which includes all the
