 fragrant. Packet, 5c.

 baceous creeper, from 

 India, with yellow 

 blossoms, and bright red 

 fruit, like small straw- 

 berries. Elegant for 

 rock work or hanging

Trailing Fuchsia Procumbens, 



One of the very best trailing plants we have for 

 house, basket, vase, or window. Foliage small and 

 thick. Flowers curious in shape ; color red, with 

 blue anthers. Mixed with the blooms in great quan- 

 tities, appear bright red berries a little larger than 

 cherries, which stay on for nearly six months.

foliage plants, resisting all effects of frosts or freez- 

 ing for six weeks after most plants are killed. The

 1 foot wide. They display the greatest range of 

 color, from silvery white to deep blood crimson. 

 Mammoth leaves, of most beautiful colors. 

 Packet, 5c. 



Four O'Clocks. marvel of peru 



(Mirabilis.) The improved Four O'clock is one 

 of our most desirable plants. It grows in any 

 soil and under any treatment. Planted like peas 

 they soon make a row of plants smothered with 

 flowers, which have the strange habit of remaining 

 closed until exactly 4 o'clock, when they burst out 

 in their glorj'. For planting where other flo%vers 

 will not grow, and ease of cultivation, nothing 

 equals them. The roots are hardy and perennial, 

 growing from year to year. They can also be 

 wintered in the cellar. 



Fuchsia. Double and single mixed. 



My seeds of this beautiful plant 

 have been saved from a splendid 

 collection of named sorts. Sow in 

 March in shallow pots and trans- 

 plant when large enough. Double 

 and single named sorts. Packet, 10c 



Ferns. These are greatly admired 

 for window and house decoration, 

 and, when established, are very 

 easily managed, and more hardy 

 than most other house plants. The 

 seeds are very small and fine. Sow 

 in shallow boxes of light, peaty soil, 

 and keep moist by covering with 

 fine moss. A temperature of 60 

 degrees is about right. Packet, 10c. 



NEW FOUR O'CLOCK WITH VARIEGATED LEAVES. (See lUustration of Spray.) This new variety makes a 

 very ornamental plant when planted alone or in rows. The leaves and flowers are very beautifully variegated — 

 white, creamy-white and green. Many plants costing large sums of money do not compare in beauty and variety 

 with this plant. Packet, 5c.; oz., 20c. 



TOM THUMB, MIXED. New Dwarf with Variegated Leaves. Very handsome, compact, dwarf, bushy plants, 

 with elegant golden-variegated foliage; numerous brilliant flowers — pure yellow, deep red, and striped and 

 blotched. Paclcet, 5c.

 else in the country. Packet, 10c.
