Sanseviera Zeylanica. A decorative 

 plant of great beauty and value. A 

 "beautiful plant, splendidly adapted for

Swainsonia or Swanflower. A Superb 

 Ever-Blooming Plant. — Just imagine a 

 plan that is fully as pretty as a Fern 

 bearing the utmost profusion of flowers 

 in elegant sprays of 30 to 40 flowers each, 

 which in form and fragrance are equal to 

 Sweet Peas, which it strongly resembles. 

 You can then form an idea of the Swain- 

 sonia. Of vigorous, healthy habit of 

 growth, it blooms the year round. 



Alba. (White). Magnificent large 

 satiny-white flowers just like Sweet Peas. 

 When you see them you will agree with 

 us that they are simply exquisite.

 rare and beautiful variety, identical with 

 Alba, except the flowers, which are a 

 deep shiny pink. The contrast between 

 the two varieties is strikingly beautiful. 

 Be sure to try both. Strong plants, prices 

 25, 50 and 75 cents each.

 Spot. — This magnificent scarlet sage or 

 salvia has three times the flowering capa-

 Drooping Spikes for this superb type. It 

 is altogether attractive and showy and 

 one of the best for decorative purposes, 

 whether used singly or in mixed groups. 

 The plant blazes out in dazzling scarlet, 

 and the color lasts all summer and fall.
