A Beautiful, New and Rare Palm. 



One of the prettiest Palms, especially suited for table deco- 

 ration. The foliage is similar to that of I/ai:aQja JJorbonica, 

 but smaller and gracefully recurved, forming an almost globu- 

 lar plant. Young plants in 4-inch pots, 4 to 5 leaves, 8 inches 

 high, 35o. each. "Very cheap. 



K' 



entia. Fosteriana.* 



This is one of the finest pot plants imaginable, and the 

 easiest to grow of any of the Palm family. Being almost 

 hardy, it is not injured by slight changes in temperature, and 

 its stiff, glossy leaves enable it to stand the dry, hot air of the 

 living-room without injury. The leaves are a deep, glossy 

 green, fan-shaped, split deeply into segments. This is, without 

 exception, the most hardy of its class. Very graceful for table 

 decoration. Scarcely equaled. 25o. eacli. l^arger i)lants, 

 60c. to SI. 00 each. 



The three Passion 

 Flowers, one of 

 each kind, 40c., 



T/ie Ne<TV Kamquat or Christmas 



Orange, This is likely to cre- 



ate a greater sensation than the now well- 

 known Otaheitft Orange. The plants im- 

 ported by us from Japan a few years ago 

 have been much admired by connoisseurs. 

 They are always eagerly snapped up at fancy 

 prices when in fruit. What could be more 

 fascinating than one of these little plants, 

 a couple of feet high, decorated with fancy 

 ribbons and covered with dainty little 

 oranges, as a centerpiece for a dinner table? 

 And when it is known that the fruit is deli- 

 cious to eat, one's delight is still greater. 

 Easy to bloom and fruit. Jfiee grafted 

 plants. 30c, each; 3 for 50c, 



/^tahetfe Orange, ^ ^ ^ 



^^ Dwarf free-flowering variety, 

 which is suitable for pot culture, and 

 which with any one proves one of the 

 most desirable pot plants it is possi- 

 ble to possess. While it will grow 

 3 or 4 feet high and branch freely, it is 

 not an uncommon thing to see little 

 cutting plants 5 or 6 inches high full 

 of bloom , and even bearing one or two 

 medium-sized oranges. The fruit at 

 their best are not more than half the 

 size of an ordinary orange, but are 

 very bright and beautiful in color, 

 delicious in quality; but it is for its 

 flowers more than its fruit which com- 

 mends itto general cultivation. When 

 it blooms it is so full that it seems to 

 be all flowers. The pure waxy-white 

 blossoms emit' a delicate yet powerful 

 fragrance, which is surpassed by no 

 other fJower. 15c. each; iJ for 35c. 

 Larger plants, 30c, each.

 from South America. Its large leaves,
