Just imagine a 

 plant that is fully as 

 pretty as a Fern 

 bearing the utmost 

 profusion of flowers 

 in. elegant sprays of 

 30 to 40 fi o w e r 3

 and fragrance are 

 equal to Sweet Peas, 

 which it strongly re- 

 sembles! You can 

 then form an idea 

 of the Swainsonia.

 habit of growth, it 

 blooms the year 

 around. It will 

 thrive in any situa- 

 tion — if a trifle 

 shaded so much the 

 better. These new Swainsonias are particularly good, and we

Lace Fern 



NEW LACE FERN. 



A grand decorative Fern of the most distinct type.

 thrives in almost any situation. It' is destined to 

 become popular because it is easy to get along with 

 and because it will thrive and retain its beauty for 

 years with ordinary care. New and rare. 25 cts.

CLERODENDRON 



FRAGRANS (Fragrant QModendron). 



The exquisite waxy-white 

 flowers are produced in won- 

 derful profusion in dense com- 

 pact clusters like a Geranium, 

 and their fragrance is simply 

 dqlicious ; fully as sweet as a 

 Gardenia or Jessamine. A 

 single bunch could well form a 

 bouquet in itself. A no less 

 important feature that wall en- 

 hance its value for amateur cul- 

 ture is its easy growth in pots 

 or open ground. It is a dwarf, 

 sturdy grower, and is almost 

 hardy. But little more is needed 

 to make it one of the most val- 

 uable plants of recent introduc- 

 tion. Those who desire some- 

 thing absolutely new, distinct 

 and beautiful, will be highly 

 pleased with Fragrant Clero- 

 dendron. Strong plants, 20 

 cts. each ; 3 for 50 cts.; 7 for 

 $1. 



Please accept my best thanks for the 

 choice Roses just received from you. My 

 plants came in fine condition, and I cau 

 say in perfect truth that you send out the 

 most thrifty and birgest plants for the 

 money that I have ever received from 

 any firm, and I shall take pleasure in rec- 

 ommending you to my friends. 

 Yours sincerely, 



Annie E. Hanktnson,
