The IDc$l IDagnificent Decorative Plant Ever Introduced. 



(T has fairly bounded into popularity. For planting in pots, vases or 

 hanging baskets it is positively unequaled. As a hanging basket 

 plant it is unbeatable ; it droops most naturally, sending out numer- 

 ous feathery fronds which in a very short time make a growth of 4 

 to 8 feet, forming an exquisitely handsome and strikiug picture. 

 With Its bright, emerald-green foliage, it presents a sight not soon 

 forgotten. It resists all diseases that attend house plants, and will with- 

 stand a dry atmosphere as no other plant will. It produces small white 

 flowers which are succeeded by red berries. A well-established plant 

 is literally a mass of emerald green. We have plants in our greenhouses 

 3 to 4 feet across, with fronds 6 to 10 feet in length. Do not miss this 

 treasure. It will delight you as no other plant wall.

POGOSTEMON PATCHOULI. 



The true popular French perfume plant. We believe we are the only 

 concern in America to offer this extremely rare and much-sought-for 

 plant. It can be had only in the rarest private collections in Europe 

 and the fact that we are able to offer it this year for the first time at 

 popular prices is a piece of good fortune that our customers can best 

 appreciate. Altogether this is the most remarkable noveltv we have 

 ever offered. It is a splendid grower, being as easily handled as Coleus 

 It has fine, large, deep-green foliage, which, when taken from the plant 

 and dried, emits a most delicious fragrance. A single leaf placed in an 

 envelope or pocket-book throws out an exquisite fragrance only found in 

 the finest French perfumery. A few leaves scattered through one's linen 

 will give it a most delightful and refreshing odor. The leaves can be 

 taken from the plants very freely, as it is a strong grower, and one or 

 two plants will furnish quantities of foliage. In India this plant is ex- 

 tremely popular, and is used extensively for making the celebrated East 

 Indian perfume. 25 cts. each ; 3 for 60 cts. ; 5 for $1. 



^bPARAGUS SpRENGERI. 



HOYA CARNOSA—Wax Plant. 



Though many years have gone by since the introduction of 

 this superb plant, its popularity, instead of diminishing, 

 seems to steadily increase. The aowers are bluish- white in 

 color, resembling wax, and are borne profusely in large um- 

 bels. The foliage is thick and fleshy, and extremely hand- 

 some in appearance. It is a quick grower and a good bloomer, 

 continuing in bloom for a long time. For window or parlor 

 culture in Winter, and when grow^n in pots or boxes outdoors 

 during Spring and Summer, it is justly the most beautiful 

 and valuable of plants. We expect a large number of our

Federal Poikt, Florida. 

 Gentlemen: — 



The two Helen Gould Roses I got from 

 you have both bloomed. The blooms are 

 very fine indeed, and give great promise 

 for the future. If I could not replace the 

 two plants I would not take a Jfl.0.00 bill 

 for them. Yours truly, 



Geo. Wilktksox.
