Japanese Kurume Azaleas 



These are most valuable additions to our limited list of winter flowering 

 plants. We offer six choice varieties. 



Cattleya. A delicately lilac-tinted white, shading to mauve pink at 



edges. Semi-double. 

 Christmas Cheer. This name was suggested by its brilliant coloring, 



a real Christmas red, semi-double. 

 Coral Bells. Not a very large flower but produced very profusely; a 



pleasing coral-pink color, very dainty, semi-double. 

 Peach Blow. A shapely, single flower of a delicate salmon peach 



blossom pink. 



Salmon Beauty. Large semi-double flowers of brilliant salmon-rose 



with brighter markings.

14-inch tubs. 3 feet stems, 24 to 26-inch crowns 25.00 each 



Beloperone Guttata 



A singularly attractive novelty. The inflorescence of Beloperone is 

 composed of a series of overlapping bracts or floral leaves, these bracts 

 assuming a rich golden bronze tint when the plant is exposed to full light, 

 and the two-lipped white flowers are produced successively between these 

 bracts. The lower lip of the flower has a tessellated marking of pale 

 purple, while the upper lip forms a hood over the dark stamens. A most 

 attractive plant for the mixed border as well as the window-garden. 

 30 cts. each; $3.00 per doz.

 with half a dozen stalks is a mass of dainty, misty green. 25 cts. 

 and 50 cts. each; $2.50 and $5.00 per doz. 



Sprengeri (Emerald Feather). Excellent for hanging-baskets, for 

 bracket use and for cutting. One of the best plants for the 

 window-box when planted near the edge where it can droop over 

 the side. 25 cts. and 50 cts. each; $2.50 and $5.00 per doz. 



Aspidistra 



Lurida. One of the easiest decorative plants to grow. A most 

 useful house plant, thriving in a hallway or a comparatively 

 dark place in the room where nothing else will succeed. 5-inch 

 pots, $2.00; 6-inch pots, $2.50 and 7-inch pots, $3.50 each. 

 Specimen plants, 8-inch tubs, $5.00 each.
