 flowers at every joint; deliciously scented.

 house plants, but also as cut flowers. Their oddly shaped 

 flowers of rich coloring frequently last on the plant from two 

 to three months. Strong flowering plants $2.50 each. 



Aralia 



Elegantissima. Handsome decorative foliage plants for the 

 warm conservatory with very narrow, finely divided foliage of a 

 peculiar metallic green color. 4-inch pots $1.50 each.

 house decoration, unequaled in symmetrical habit of growth by 

 any other plant. 5-inch pots, 12 to 15 inches high, $2.50 each.

 foliage and clusters of brilliant red berries produced during

 mass of dainty, misty green. 2|-inch pots 15c; 4-inch pots 

 50c, each. 



Sprengeri (Emerald Feather). Excellent for hanging-baskets, for 

 bracket use, and for cutting. One of the best plants for the 

 window-box when planted near the edge where it can droop 

 over the side. 2|-inch pots 15c; 4-inch pots 50c, each.

 useful house plant, thriving in a hallway or a comparatively 

 dark place in the room where nothing else will succeed. 5-inch 

 pots $1.50; 6-inch pots $2.00; 7-inch pots $3.00, each. 



— variegata. The dark green leaves are striped with white.

Japanese Azaleas 



Few flowering plants make such a wonderful show as the Jap- 

 anese Azaleas and the four varieties we offer here are the most 

 popular for winter flowering in the house. 



Coral Bells. Coral-pink shading to deeper pink in the center. 



The small flowers have a second corolla thrust inside the 



regular one. Blooms very profusely. 

 Hinodegiri. The most popular of all with dense clusters of an 



intense fiery red shade. 



Salmon Beauty. Large, semi-double flowers of brilliant salmon- 

 rose. A free and early flowering variety. 



Snow. The dainty semi-double blooms are a pure snow white. 

 A very lovely variety that is most desirable. 



Any of the above strong bushy plants 

 in 5- or 6-inch pots $1.50 each.
