nfoVioi+o Oranap One of the grandest pot plants for flower- 
\JI<X1±^^IZ> vyicuigc jng have ever seen, and being useful 
as well as ornamental, should be grown by everyone. It is a very 
dwarf variety, and blossoms and fruits freely when only 12 or 15 
iiichi s high. The delicately scented blossoms are produced in great 
Iirofusion. The fruit is quite small, being only about one-half the 
size of the ordinary' orange, but is very sweet and ilelicious. For pot 
culture it is one of the most novel and interesting plants of late intro- 
duction. It blooms freely during the entire season, and one plant 
will scent a whole room. The stock we offer is strong and thrifty 25c 
each. 
Brazilian Melon Fruit 
An ornamental fruit-bcarinc tree that 
no one should tail to secure. A few 
years afio we introduced thi.s j^reat plant novelty, and oiu- experience with 
It and the many testimonials received from our patrons, all praising its 
wonderful qualities, only confirm our opinion expressed when introducing 
it, that it is the greatest plant novelty that ha-s ever been offered the Amer- 
ican trade. It is a native of Southern IJrazil. It is not only an excellent 
and valuable ornamental plant, with rich 
green leaves, that at once give it a fore- 
most place in the list of handsome foli- 
age plants, but it also furnishes us with a 
most desirable, eEg-shai>ed yellowish- 
orange colored fruit, which hangs pen- 
dant in clusters, just below the beautiful 
foliage. This fruit is of the most delight- 
ful flavor imaginable, having a slightly 
sub-acid taste, entirely different from any 
other fruit we are acquainted with. For 
eating out of hand, slicing or making in- 
to preserves, it is simply delicious, and 
its lovely appearance in a dish on a table 
can only be equaled by the finest of trop- 
ical fruits. As an ornamental plant it 
has few equals, its splendid bushy habit, 
healthy growth and cliarming foliage giv- 
ing it tne preference over many of the 
weaker and more delicate plants of the 
ornamental class Mrs. T. B. Shepherd, 
Ventura, California writes: "It is a 
fine shrub, the foliage is large and hand- 
some and the fruit of a beautiful orange 
salmon color when ripe, and has a deli- 
cious sub-acid taste." 
Note — It is desirable only for house ciJ- 
ture an<l the open ground during the sum- 
mer months, and must be taken into the 
house at the approach of cold weather
