THE DINGEE & CONARD COMPANY'S 



Dewdrop Begonia. 



Since the introduction of this grand Begonia 

 we have given it a thorough test, and have 

 found it to be of a superior type, possessing 

 many advantageous qualities, notably a free 

 continuous bloomer and easily grown. It is 

 an unusually fine Winter -blooming plant, 

 producing great numbers of delicate, white 

 flowers during the Winter months; in the 

 Spring it can be planted in the open ground, 

 and will be a mass of bloom the entire Sum- 

 mer. 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50 cts. 



Clerodendron Balfouri. 



We can safely recommend this grand Clero- 

 dendron as one of the most satisfactory plants for window culture now known. 

 It is a vigorous, rapid and healthy grower, and produces an abundance of 

 blooms, which are bright crimson surrounded by pearly-white petals, producing 

 a striking contrast against the dark-green foliage. It can be used for a fine 

 specimen pot-plant, and can be grown to fine form by cutting off the ends of the 

 growing shoots. A partially shaded position is conducive to rapid growth. We 

 have an extra-fine stock of well-grown Clerodendron plants which we are positive 

 cannot fail to give the utmost satisfaction (see cut). Good strong plants from 

 3-inch pots, 30 cts. each ; extra-large plants, by Express only, 50 cts. each. 



Lily of the 

 Valley. 



The pure white 

 exquisite flowers 

 and pale-g r e e n 

 foliage of this 

 beautiful plant 

 render it one of 

 the most useful 

 and admired. It 

 succeeds in the 

 open ground in almost any situation, but prefers shade with 

 plenty of moisture; when once planted and established the 

 crowns keep on increasing each year. The larger ones 

 flower each season without any attention. Strong-flowering 

 crowns, by Mail, postpaid, 5 cts. each ; 6 for 25 cts.; 12 for 

 , 50 cts.; 25 for $z. 



CLERODENDRON BALFOURI. 



Fuchsia Speciosa. 



LILY OF THE VALLEY. 



This is really one of the most 

 charming and desirable Fuchsias in 

 cultivation, and should be better 

 known. It is a genuine Winter 

 bloomer, and all who know it value it very highly for this 

 quality. The habit of the plant is erect and compact, pre- 

 senting a decidedly neat and attractive appearance as a pot 

 plant. The fine star-shaped flowers are produced in pro- 

 fusion, and begin when the plants are quite young ; indeed, 

 the plants in our houses in all stages are rarely seen with- 

 out flowers from late Summer until Spring. The flowers 

 droop beautifully ; they are large, elegantly shaped and of 

 good substance ; the calyx is rosy carmine and the corolla 

 brilliant carmine, a lovely combination. This variety is of 

 strong constitution, and easily grown. Fine plants, 25 cts. 

 each ; 3 for 60 cts.
