Succulent Plants for Table and Miniature Rock Gardens 



Aloe 

 Arborescens 



Crassula 

 Tetragona 



Crassula 

 Arborescens 



Sedum 

 Dendroideum 



Much interest has been taken in the past few years in indoor rock gardens and many dishes, at one time used for Ferns for table 

 decoration, have been converted into miniature rock gardens but whether the planting is on a large or small scale, the fleshy leaved succulent 

 plants here offered are particularly useful and attractive for this purpose, all of them thriving with little care in the dry warm temperature 

 of our modern homes. From the vast variety of this class of plants known we have selected the six varieties here illustrated and described 

 as among the most attractive and desirable. 



Kleinia Repens. Rather long glaucous leaves make this a 

 unique, pretty graceful plant. 



Portulacaria Afra. Unique Shrub; glossy green leaves. 



Sedum Dendroideum. Bright green leaves of medium size 

 form a very showy small Shrub. 



Aloe Arborescens. Thick succulent leaves armed with dull 



prickles; glaucous green; very graceful and enduring. 

 Crassula Arborescens. Very fleshy light green leaves of good 



size; sometimes called the Japanese Rubber Plant. 

 Crassula Tetragona. Forms a small compact bush with 

 bright green fleshy leaves.

AQUATIC PLANTS FOR AQUARIUMS 



It is doubtful if anything is more fascinating to the young as well as to the older members of the household than to watch the develop- 

 ment of animal and plant life in the aquaria. Fish will not thrive unless enough plants are growing to furnish them with oxygen. To 

 do this there should be not less than one plant to every two gallons of water. The ideal temperature is about 50 degrees, and a shady 

 corner, or a window facing north, is best during the summer, and an east window during the winter. 



We have prepared a Leaflet giving complete directions for the cultivation of Hardy and Tender Water Lilies, Aquarium plants and 

 other Aquatics. Copies free on request. 



Anacharis Canadensis Gigantea (Elodea). A beautiful 

 submerged plant, with dark green ovate leaves and light stems; 

 of quick growth. The best oxygenator and a splendid Aquarium 

 plant. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



Cabomba Viridif olia (Washington Grass). A pretty and 

 popular submerged plant; leaves brilliant, glossy green, 

 fan shaped, and more beautiful than the most delicate 

 fern. 25 cts. per bunch; $2.50 per doz. 



Cyperus Alternifolius. An excellent plant for growing 

 in water or damp places, will thrive in any good soil, and 

 always presents a green and attractive appearance. 25 

 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



Ludwigia Mulertti. One of the prettiest of the sub- 

 merged plants. The. small ovate leaves, green above 

 and pink on the under side, are very attractive and 

 entirely distinct from all other aquarium plants. 25 cts. 

 each; $2.50 per doz. 



Sagittaria Natans. This plant is indispensable for the 

 aquarium; its long, strap-like green leaves resemble the 

 well-known Vallisneria. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



Sagittaria Sinensis (Giant Sagittaria). Leaves dark 

 green; broad and stronger than 5. natans, and a freer 

 grower; the best form for the aquarium. 25 cts. each; 

 $2.50 per doz. 



Vallisneria Spiralis, Italian Type (Ed Grass). A submerged 

 plant with long ribbon-like leaves. This is the best of the 

 Vallisnerias, a free grower, and a good oxygenator. 25 cts. each; 

 $2.50 per doz.
