THE DINGEE & CONARD COMPANY'S 



NEW JUSTICIA FLAVA 



GREVILLEA ROBUSTA, THE AUSTRALIAN SILK TREE. 



New Justicia Flava. 



NEW JUSTICIA VELUTINA. 



This is a great novelty, totally unlike anything yet seen in this 

 charming family of plants. It is certainly one of the grandest flower- 

 ing plants that we have ever seen. . . . Covered four months in suc- 

 cession with large feathery-like clusters of pure yellow flowers, sur- 

 mounting dark, velvety-green foliage ; it is a sight not soon forgotten. 

 Those who wish a free and continuous blooming plant, and at the 

 same time a showy and rare one, will find this an acquisition. The 

 stock is exceedingly scarce. 



Fine plants 25 cts, each ; 3 for 50 cts. ; 5 for $1. 



Bougainvillea Sanderiana. 



A remarkably free flowering plant, exceedingly useful and highly 

 ornamental. It is a great favorite with us, because of its ease of cul- 

 ture, freedom and earliness of bloom. It commences blooming when 

 quite young, and continuous throughout the year, small and large 

 plants alike being covered with blossoms. It produces flowers as 

 freely as a Fuchsia, which are dazzling, rosy-crimson, lasting long in 

 perfection. Sold recently at $2 each. Cannot fail to give absolute 

 satisfaction. 



We offer strong plants 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50 cts. ; 7 for $1. 



New Justicia Velutina. 



This is a grand new dwarf Justicia, far more attractive than our 

 illustration shows it. Unlike the old Justicia Rosea, with its tall, 

 lanky, straggling habit of growth, this new variety makes a dwarf, 

 stocky, compact plant, and begins to bloom when the plant has only 

 three or four leaves, and is never out of flowers afterwards. If pinched 

 back occasionally it makes a very handsome plant, frequently covered 

 with 20 to 50 large pink feathery flower-heads, which last a long time. 

 The foliage is heavy in texture and very velvety ; a splendid free- 

 blooming plant. 



Sure to become popular. 20 cts. each; 3 for 50 cts. 



Grevillea Robusta. 



(THE AUSTRALIAN SILK TREE.) 



A magnificent plant for decorative purposes, quicker growing 

 than a Palm, and equally effective ; of easy growth ; finely cut foliage, 

 rivaling a rare Fern. The young growing leaves are a light bronze 

 color, the tips being covered with soft down, closely resembling raw 

 silk, hence the name " Silk Tree." In its native place it attains mag- 

 nificent proportions and produces an abundance of bright, orange- 

 colored flowers. The leaves are fine for design, so fern-like and not 

 liable to wilt. No collection complete without it. 



15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for 5$1. 



SPECIAL OFFER — One plant each of the 4 varieties described 

 on this page for 60 cts., postpaid by mail.
