FAUST'S NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1892. 



MOON FLOWER. 



We are growing large 

 quantities of the genuine 



Moon Flower, and will be 

 able to fill all orders of 

 this most popular of all 

 climbing plants. It is a 

 rapid grower, and will 

 climb anywhere, on old 

 walls or where there are 

 strings to cling to, on trel- 

 lises, arbors, fences, etc., 

 often growing as much as 

 50 feet in one season. No 

 climber grows so rapidly, 

 or will cover so large au 

 area in so short a period 

 of time. A single plant 

 will produce from 40 to 100 

 flowers every evening. The 

 flowers bloom just at dusk, 

 and create great surprise 

 and enthusiasm, as the 

 process of expanding and 

 opening may be easily fol- 

 lowed by the eye, when, 

 in the space of a few min- 

 utes, the birth of the flow- 

 er is complete. This burst- 

 ing forth is preceded by 

 trembling of the stem, and 

 so continues until the flow- 

 er is fully disclosed to the 

 admiration of all. The 

 flowers are a pure white, 

 about 15 inches in circum- 

 ference, emitting a rich. 

 Jessamine odor. 



One gentleman writes, 

 "that at one time over 800 

 buds were on his vine," 

 and another, ' ' that no gar-^ 

 den is complete without 

 it. ' ' There are many Moon 

 vines being sold, and great 

 care should be exercised 

 in securing the true vari- 

 ety, "IPOM^ANOC- 

 TIFLORA." We also 

 offer the seed (see Climbers 

 in Flower Seed Depart- 

 ment), but would recom- 

 mend all to buy plants, as 



they can be sent safely by mail to all parts of the United States, and will give entire satisfaction. 

 Strong plants, 15 cts. each, or 4 for 50 cts., bv mail, postpaid. Safe arrival guaranteed. 



Those who purchased' from us last season roots of Ipomsea Pandurata l'Hard3- Day Moon Flower), and did not have 

 satisfactory results from same, if thev will send us their names and addresses, Ave will gladly mail them a plant 91 the 

 GENUINE 3IOON FLOWER, FREE. We do not recommend Ipomaea Pandurata, as so few have any success with it ; 

 we can, however, supply roots of same if wanted, at 15 cts. each. 



Tritoma U v a r i a 

 Grandifloria. (Flaming 



Tritoma. 



Torch, or Red Hot Poker 

 Plant.) This is a most at- 

 tractive plant, growing 

 from 4 to 6 inches high ; 

 the ilower spike is often 

 5 feet high and the flowers 

 measure 12 to 15 inches 

 long and 12 inches in cir- 

 cumference. The flowers 

 are dazzling scarlet with 

 lower half tinged with 

 rich orange, making a 

 striking and magnificent 

 contrast. It is a splendid 

 summer and autumn flow- 

 ering plant. They remain 

 in bloom for a remarka- 

 bly long period, and the 

 ha'ndsome showy spikes 

 are si ill blooming when 

 other flowers have ceased 

 in the fall. 20 cts. each ; 

 3 for 50 cts.; doz., ?1.75, 

 postpaid. 



Caladiums Esculen- 



tum (Elephant's Ears). 

 There are few plants that 

 make such a grand tropi- 

 cal appearance as the 

 Caladium. growing 4 to 5 

 feet high, producing 

 abundantly apron-like 

 leaves 3 feet long by 12 

 inches wide. They are 

 desirable as a single plant 

 on the lawn or for mas- 

 sive beds. The best re- 

 sults are obtained by 

 planting bulbs in rich 

 soil and giving an abun- 

 dance of water. In the 

 fall the bulbs should be 

 taken up and laid away 

 in the cellar until the 

 next season; they are 

 good for years. Fme- 

 bulbs, 20 cts. each ; 3 for^ 

 50 cts.; §1.75 per doz.
