MEDEOLA ASPARAGOIDES 

 MYRTIFOLIA 



The new Sinilax for light effect. Hard of foliage, and, therefore, of 

 great durability, repeated trials showing that the cut trails will keep 

 fresh for six or seven days, and when in water, considerably longer. 

 In this variety these sprays are produced with even greater freedom 

 than in the case of its popular parent. Pkt. 50 cts. 



SAINTPAULIA lONANTHA 



(South African Violet) 



An interesting plant; the leaves, which are dark green, of fleshy 

 consistence an(l tlowny surface, spread themselves laterally just 

 over the soil, and form, as it were, a rosette, if. the center of which 

 spring up quite a bouquet of flowers, violet-like both in color and 

 shape, I 'i inches in diameter, and gracefully borne on stalks 2 to 3 

 inches high. When well established it will continue to bloom 

 throughout the year, making it a most desirable plant for green- 

 house decoration. Pkt. 50 tts. 



Boddin^ton's Extra-Early Christmas White Sweet Pea, Snowbird 



WINTER-BLOOMING V/ALLFLOWER. 

 CHEIRANTHUS KEWENSIS , 



It originated from a cross between the perennial Cheiraiithus 

 vnilabilis and single garden Wallflower, and has retained the line 

 odor of the latter pari iit. Borne on numerous slender stalks, the 

 black brown buds opi n into flowers of a delicati- sulphur shade, 

 which passes gradually to or.inge or purple-violet, — indeed, one 

 sometimes fiiuls all three colors on a plant at the same time. Its very 

 long-blooming iiaturi' and also the fact that it flowers in live or si.x 

 months after sowing, adds considiT.ibly to the v.ilue of this novelty. 

 If sown in July it blooms uninterrui)ledly from November till spring. 

 After a period of rest, the i)lants shoot out afresh in autumn and 

 develop them into particularly fine specimens. Pkt. , so cts., 3 pkts. 

 for $1.25.
