JU5TKIfl CflRNEfl. 
Proliably no plant has attracted so much attention in the last two 
years as the Jnsticia or Brazilian PUmie plant. It was introduced into 
this country f/oin F?razil some time aijo, and immediately became very 
popiiUir. The ('eniand however far exceeded the supply, aiui it was but a 
short time belore the true stock had almost entirely disappeared, the 
florists having exhausted their snpply in endeavoriiiR to fill their orders. 
\Vc have devoted much of our time to it the past two seasons, and now 
are able to oflcr a larp:e stock at a very low price, so that it is within 
the reach of all. Of the thousands of dift'erent plants which we had in 
cjur conservatories the past season none attracted so much attention 
The plant is a stronj; rapid f^rowcr and throws up lon>? stems on which 
are produced fine phmie-Hke pink flowers, the ends of each petal droop- 
ing in a most charming manner. The illustration shows theyounj;plant. 
When they are a few months old the plants are literally covered with 
their beautiful blossoms. It is splendid for either in or out door culture, 
and you should not fail to secure one or more of these plants. We have 
n large stock and hope to be able to fill all orders, but would suggest 
that you send in your order as early as possible. All orders will be filled 
in rotation, but plants not to be shipped until we can do so with perfect 
v.'ifety. Price, 35c. each. 
BEQONIfl nflNKflTfl flUREfl. 
In our entire list we have no plant whose foliage can equal that of this 
rand Hegonia. The shading and distinct marking of the leaves is 
something wondei-ful. One part of the leaf will be a deep velvety green 
while another part is a light cream shaded with bronze or pink, making 
:i most novel and showy appearance. The ilhist.ration on the other side 
of this page is a correct representation of this lovely Begonia. If you 
have room for only one foliage plant let it be the Begonia Manicata 
Aurea. Its strong healthy habit of growth, and variegated leaves make 
it a favorite with every one. Price, 25c. 
QERflNIUn JOUY. bE niRflNbE. 
We .ire glad to offer the finest Geranium ever introtltiecii, and tlicgreat- 
< st novelty that has appeared for a number of years. The flowers, as 
shown in the colored plate, are of a delieate pink color, shading to white 
at the center of each floret. Most of the florets are striped in a most 
beautiful manner. It is a strong, rapid grower and very free flowering. 
This past season we had a large bed of these splended geraniums 
on our grounds. They bloomed profusely the entire season, and attracted 
more attention than any other variety. Price, 25c each. 
FUCHSIA FHENOnENflL. 
since its introd^iction, this has become the most popular of all this 
i;rand class of plants. The size of the blossoms and freedom of bloom is 
simply astonishing. Many of the flowers measure over two and one- 
half inches in diameter, and are of the richest shade of purple imaginable. 
The plant is a strong, vigorous grow-er, and should be in every collection. 
We know that the Phi nomenal will please our patrons, and we cannot 
too highly reeommcnd it. We have a fine .stock of good, strong, young 
|)lants. and have made the price very low. Price 20c. each. 
nflNETTIfl VINE. 
The fact that over 200,000 plants of this wonderful vine have been 
sold in the past two years shows conclusively that it is one of the most 
popular climbers at the pre-ent time. It may be grown in the house or 
garden, and is in bloom almost eveni' day in the year. When trained 
around a window as shown in our colored plate it will make a grand 
display and blossoms freely both summer and winter. The flowers are 
not large, seldom exceeding two inches in length, but are produced in 
great profusion and of such bright, showy colors as to attract attention 
at once. The blossoms are of a rich scarlet color shading to a clear yel- 
low at the tip, and are covered with a hairy-like substance that adds 
greatly to their beauty. No plant is easier to grow, and it b-'gin^ to 
bloom almost as soon as planted. For screens, trellises, covering up 
stumps, in fact for anything that a vine or climber may be used, the 
Manettia Vine is just the thing. Price, 25c. each. 
RO/E QLOTHILDE /OUFERT. 
Never in all our experience as rose growers, have we seen any variety 
that can equal this charming t'rench Rose, which we introduced last 
season. It is as easy to grow as a Geranium, and when once started 
seems to recpiire little or no attention. The flowers are of good size, and 
are produced in great profusion. The color is a delicate pink at the 
centre, shading to a clear pearly white at the edge of the petals. Of all 
the new roses that have been introduced in the past ten years not one of 
them has become so popular in such a short time. It is truly a perpet- 
ual blooming rose, flowering incessantly the entire year, and seems to re- 
quire no rest whatever. We are headquarters for the Clothikle Soupert, 
and those who want this lovely rose, true to name, will do well to order 
direct from us. Price, 25c. 
DRACENA INDIYIJ/I. 
This is oneof the most ornamental plants for decorative purposes that 
we are acquainted with. Its bright green tropical-looking foliage ren- 
der? it very attractive for the window garden, or as a centerpiece in a 
jardiniere. The fact that it requires but very little attention and tjirives 
in almost any situation, makes it particularly desirable for house 
culture. We have grown an immense stock of this lovelj- ornamental 
plant, and ofler it at such a low price that it is within the reach of all our 
friends. A single plant of the Dracena Indivisa makes a grand display, 
and no one should fail to secure at least one plant. Price, 35o. each. 
QHRYJflNTHEnun QLORIO/UH. 
Nothing in the way of flowers has attracted so much attention or be- 
come so popular in thepast few years as the ir\v Chrysanthemum, The 
Gloriosum is one of the finest varieties ever intrtiduced. The flowers are 
large, of a bright lemon yellow color. The plant is a strong vigorous 
grower and one of the earliest in bloom. The ragged appearance of the 
large flov.ers and freedom with which they are produced, havepl.aeed 
this beautiful Chrysanthemum among the foremost in this grand class 
of plants. It is one of the finest of the Japanese varieties and should be 
in every order. Price, 20c each.
