New Dwarf Ever-blooming Fuchsia .... 



"Little Beauty." 



Of the many varieties of Fuchsias that are prime 

 favorites for pot and open-ground culture — owing to 

 their pretty flowers, freedom and continuity of bloom — 

 none of them will compare with this charming new 

 sort, appropriately named " Little Beauty." It is be- 

 yond question the freest blooming Fuchsia in cultiva- 

 tion. It is never without flowers. It begins to bloom 

 when but two inches high, and continues throughout 

 the entire year. The number of perfect flowers it pro- 

 duces is remarkable. As many as one hundred and 

 fifty open flowers and buds have been counted at one 

 time on a single plant growing in a four-inch pot. 



The natural compact habit of the plant and healthy 

 growth, combined with the striking beauty of the flow- 

 ers, indeed makes this a perfect gem among flower 

 plants. The flowers are of a good size and in color are 

 bright and beautiful; just the color that is bound to 

 catch every one's eye and ehcit no little admiration — 

 deep purple corolla with bright red tube and sepals. 

 For effective display, this charming plant is perhaps 

 the best in this line ever introduced. It is one of the 

 comparatively few plants that we strongly endorse as 

 worthy of extensive culture. While our stock lasts we 

 offer fine young blooming plants at 



20 cts. each ; 3 for 50 cts.; 7 for $1. 



NEW FUCHSIA, LITTLE BEAUTY. 



Clerodendron Balfouri. 



A BEAUTIFUL WINTER - BLOOMING VINE. 



We can safely recommend this grand Clerodendron 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. Good strong plants from three- 

 inch pots, 20 cts. each, postpaid ; extra-large plants, by 

 Express only, 40 cts. each. 



Begonia Weltoniensis. 



One of the best and freest blooming varieties. It is the 

 beautiful old fashioned pink flowering Begonia, so dear to all 

 who have ever grown it. We offer strong plants, 15 cts. 

 each ; 4 for 50 cts. 



Swainsonia Alba. 



A beautiful new ever-blooming plant for house culture, 

 with pure white flowers, produced in sprays of from twelve 

 to twenty flowers each, the individual blooms strongly re- 

 sembling a Sweet Pea. As a decorative plant it cannot be 

 superseded for the window or conservatory; we know of 



nothing that will give 

 as much satisfaction 

 as the Swainsonia. Its 

 easy culture, growing 

 in almost any light 

 position, its freedom 

 of bloom, rarely ever 

 being out of bloom., 

 and the grace and 

 beauty of the flower 

 and entire plant, will 

 undoubtedly make 

 this one of the most 

 popular plants in culti- 

 vation. 



Price, fine, strong, 

 three-inch pot plants, 

 for immediate bloom- 

 ing, 20 cts. each ; 3 for 

 50 cts.; 7 for $1. 



SWAINSONIA ALBA. 



Palm, *'Washingtonia Fillfera." 



This is conceded to be one of the best Palms for amateur 

 culture. It stands ill-treatment with impunity, and thrives 

 where other Palms would die. It is exceedingly ornamental, 

 with elegant fan- 

 shaped leaves, 

 of rich dark 

 leathery green, 

 from which hang 

 long thread-like 

 filaments ; it is a 

 compact grow- 

 er, needs no pet- I 

 ting or coaxing 1 

 to succeed. We , 

 offer strong, well 

 rooted, 3-inch 

 pot plants that, 

 are sure to grow. I 

 20 cts. each ; 3 

 for 50 cts.; 6 

 for ^i. 



WASHINGTONIA FILIFERA PALM. 



Impatiens Sultana, 



A plant little known or grown, but entirely worthy of spe- 

 cial attention. A genuine perpetual blooming variety, pro- 

 ducing extremely bright scarlet flowers almost constantly all 

 the year around. It is a 

 profuse bloomer and of the 

 easiest culture. In fact a 

 plant of intrinsic value, and 

 in many respects unexcelled 

 for pot culture. 15 cts, 

 each ; 4 for 50 cts. 



Fancy-Leaved 

 Caladiums. 



Fancy-leaved Caladiums
