New Weeping Lantana. 



New Weeping Lantana, 



This is one of the most beautiful of flow- 

 ering plants for baskets, vases and pots ever 

 grown. It also grows to perfection in open 

 ground during Summer. Here is the record 

 of one plant : Planted in an ordinary nail 

 keg in May ; was in flower all the time until 

 August, when it had 590 clusters of flowers ; 

 continued in full flower after being removed 

 indoors; bore over 400 clusters in October, 

 and in December over 300. At this time 

 every young branch was cut off to propa- 

 gate, but on January 14 it had 100 beautiful 

 new clusters. The plant has a most grace- 

 ful drooping habit, grows with wonderful 

 rapidity and blooms persistently Winter and 

 Summer, producing a cluster of flowers at 

 each leaf. Color delicate, clear lilac-pink. 

 Very distinct and pretty. We make the 

 price low for strong plants in order that 

 every one may have a few plants of this 

 superb LANTANA. Price, 15 cts. each ; 2 

 for 25 cts.; 9 for ^i, postpaid by mail. 



Clerodendron Fragrans. 



One of the best plants in our collection. 

 Ttie demand is always greater than the sup- 

 ply. The flowers are produced in wonderful 

 profusion in dense compact clusters like a 

 Geranium ; fragrance delicious ; fully as sweet 

 as a Gardenia or Jessamine. A single flower 

 could well form a bouquet in itself. For pot 

 culture it is by all odds one of the grandest 

 plants we know. 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50 cts.; 7 

 for«l. 



Dioscorea Batatas (Yam Vine). 



Tuberous rooted. Roots grow to great size; 

 are roasted and eaten in Africa, the East and 

 West Indies, instead of bread. When intro- 

 duced here some years ago it created quite a 

 sensation. Apart from its value as an esculent 

 it is a beautiful, hardy climber; large clean 

 foliage and sweet-scented flowers that are 

 borne in spikes at the base of the leaves. 20 

 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for Si. 



'^Tyrian'^ Plant Sprinkler, 



" Tyrian " Plant Sprinkler is as essential to the suc- 

 cess of your plants as the soil they grow in. With it you 

 can, without injuring your plants or soaking the earth, quickly 

 sprinkle them. It will render valuable aid in keeping the 

 foliage fresh and healthy and free from insects of all kinds. 

 Throws a spray "just like rain." Its value is so apparent 

 that, once secured, you will not be without it again. 

 Postpaid by mail, 75 cts. each. 



Sulpho-Tobacco Soap* 



For the sure and easy extermination of all insect life on 

 plants, trees and animals, Sulpho-Tobacco Soap is a match- 

 less preparation. It is safe, clean and effective, and abso- 

 lutely harmless. It dissolves readily in water, like ordinary 

 soap, and can be applied with a Tyrian Sprinkler, to the 

 fatal discomfort of all species of insects. Both the soap and 

 sprinkler are necessary adjuncts to the successful culture of 

 plants. 



Six-ounce packages of soap, sufficient for three gallons of 

 water, 30 cts. each, postpaid by mail. 



For ^i we will send, postpaid by mail, a " Tyrian " 

 Sprinkler and a six-ounce package of Sulpho-Tobacco 

 Soap ; also a valuable booklet — The Window Garden ; 

 How to Care for It. 



Dingee & Conard Co/s Lawn Grass* 



This standard mixture cannot be surpassed for quickly 

 making a handsome turfy sward that will stand our hot and 

 dry Summers, presenting at all times a healthy appearance.
