 Gourds. 



If you have an 

 odd corner or an 

 old brush heap, 

 trail the gourd 

 vine over it. Its 

 fruit has many 

 uses, but if for no 

 other purpose 

 raise it for the lit- 

 tle ones. They 

 much enjoy the 

 gaily striped, odd 

 shaped fruits. A 

 mixture of nine 

 named varieties, 

 including dipper, 

 striped, pear- 

 shaped, ostrich egg, ap- 

 ple, oranpe and tirban 

 gourds. Mixed. Pkt., 4c.

GREVILLEA ROBUSTA. 



The '■ Silk Oak."' a valuable decorative plant, ger- 

 minating readily from seed, and making in two or 

 three months' time a very ornamental little plant. 

 The laciniated foliage gives it somewhat the ap- 

 pearance of a fern, but it is much hardier and more 

 useful as a decorative plant. Pkt., 5 cts. 



GLADIOLUS LEMOINEI. 



It is interesting to raise Gladioli from seed and 

 see the endless variety of colors and fantastic 

 markings that come from the seedlings, scarcely 

 any two being alike. No finer varieties are offered 

 than the Lemoinei. Pkt., 4 cts.

 fifteen inches across and contains thousands of indi- 

 vidual florets. Pkt., 5 cts.
