Miscellaneous Plants and Vines* 



New Lace Fern. 



Boxwood 



(Buxus Sempervirens). 



For decorative purposes this grand 

 evergreen plant cannot be excelled. 

 Grown in pots, tubs or vases for 

 decorating entrance halls and piazzas, 

 or used indoors, it is almost indis- 

 pensable. Better and cheaper than 

 Bay Trees, and can be used where 

 a Bay Tree cannot. It will stand 

 any amount of frost and cold. There 

 has been such a constant demand 

 for it that we have imported a very- 

 fine stock, which we offer in two 

 forms: 



Pyramids, fine perfect specimens, 

 12 to 15 inches, postpaid by Mail, 

 $1.35 each ; by Express, $1 each. 



Standards, grown in tree form 

 and trimmed into large heads, elegant 

 specimens, 2 to 3 feet, $1.35 each, 

 by Express only. 



Strawberry Guava. 



A new pot plant of great value that bids fair to become as pop- 

 ular as Otabeite Orange. The Guava has thick, shining, 

 evergreen, Camellia-like foliage with pure white flowers of an 

 agreeable odor. The fruit is large, about the size of an English 

 walnut, and of beautiful claret color; the flavor is most delicious, 

 sweet and aromatic, resembling that of the Strawberry. Used as 

 a dessert fruit, also for preserving ; makes jelly of delicious quality, 

 which brings an enormous price. Blooms and fruits continuously ; 

 once established is ever producing buds, flowers or fruit in some 

 stage every day in the year. A plant eighteen months old has 

 borne over 500 fruits, and a plant which could be covered with a 

 box four feet wide and two and one-half feet deep had 1005 

 fruits, blooms and buds at one time. Quite hardy. A magnifi- 

 cent plant for pot or box. 



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



four-year-old plants, cut back, by 



Express, 75 cts. each. 



SEEDS FOR FALL AND WINTER PLANTING. 



Lack of space in this Catalogue forbids of our giving a list of 

 the best seeds for Fall and Winter sowing, such as Pansies, 

 Primulas, Cyclamens, Begonias, Cinerarias, etc. They are offered, 

 however, in Our New Guide, Spring edition, which, if you do 

 not have, will be sent free upon application. There are many 

 beautiful plants that you can raise from seed during the Winter. 

 We know of nothing more interesting. We offer none but fresh, 

 pure seed, sure to grow and bloom. 



On pages 26 to 34, inclusive, are offered the very 

 choicest plants and vines in cultivation. Many of them 

 are new and rare, while others are tried and true favor- 

 ites. "We offer none but those that will thrive with 

 ordinary cultivation and give absolute satisfaction to 

 all who plant them.

Acalypha 



Triumphans. 



This is one of the most beautiful 

 foliage plants we have ever seen. 

 It is a strong healthy grower and 

 makes a compact plant of splendid 

 dimensions. The foliage is large 

 (about 2x4 inches), very heavy 

 and showy beyond description. The 

 predominant color is red, marbled 

 lighter and darker, streaked and 

 dashed green, yellow, white and 

 other colors, giving a most striking 

 effect, to be had with no other plant. 

 It is as attractive as a Croton. We 

 strongly recommend it.
