decided acquisition to the 
class of hardy herbaceous 
blooming plants. It 
forms compact, bushy 
plants which blossom 
continuously during the 
■winter when grow^n in 
pots in the house. As an 
outdoor bloomer in the 
summer it is equally pro- 
fuse, beinj? continually in 
flower the entire season 
and until killed by frost. 
The blossoms are of three 
shades, white, delicate 
pink and pale blue, borne 
in long sprays and are 
particularly valuable for 
cutting. Plants are per- 
fectly hardy, withstand- 
ing the lowest temper- 
atures without i)rotection.

Asparagus Plumosus Nanus. 
most beautiful ornamental climbing plant 
for house culture. The leaves are a verv deep green color, of fine lace-like texture, which re- 
main green and fresh a long time after being cut. It is of climbing habit and can be easily 
trained to anv desired shape or form of trellis. It is one of the finest house plants ever in- 
troduced, and is also valuable to florists for cutting for bouquets, table decorations, etc. The 
plants which we otler have been grown cool, thus providing them with an abundance ot 
tuberous roots which will throw up strong, feathered foliage 
of the most beautiful ch.-iracter. We cannot too highly rec- 
ommend this plant, as we are confident it will please our 
customers in every respect. Strong^ plants 25c each. Lar^^e 
plants, by express, 50c and $1.00 each. 
Inrtnt-K^CR C^dar (See cut.) This is one of the

plants of recent introduction. It is of most easy culture 
and rapid growth, and succeeds in almost any situation. _ It 
is a tender evergreen, attaining a height of several feet in a 
few vears. It is as beautiful as the Auracaria or Norfolk 
Pine, is of much easier culture, and, being a rapid grower, 
attains a large .size much sooner. Though of comparatively 
recent introduction it has been grown in Japan for inan3*

AMERICAN WONDER LEMON. 
Japanese Fern Balls. 
most curious ^ 
noveltv. These very interesting ferns are independent of JAPANBSE CEDAR, 
both soil and moisture. The former thevdo not require, as they are rooted in moss; and 
when the latter is withheld thc^' simply dry up and goto sleep, to rc-aw aken when 
moisture again reaches them. They are grown suspended in the air, like other air 
plants, and are 6 inches or more in diameter, in their dormant or dry state, in the moss. 
They will live for years under proper treatment, alternately resting and growing, accord- 
ing to eircumstanecs. They arc verv satisfactory as house ferns, and attract much at- 
tention and interest. It is best to treat them with some degree of regularity, giving 
them water two or three times a week during the growing season, and no water 
at all during the resting period. These periods can be arranged at conyenience. 
but each should cover say two or three months or longer. The green foliage is light and 
beautiful. If desired, 
the root-filled bunch of 
moss maj- be divided 
and placed in a fern 
dish, but the hanging 
position is more grace- 
ful. I do not know of 
a prettier or more in- 
teresting house plant 
among recent introduc- 
tions. 
CAUTION. Many 
firms are sending out 
small, second-class, in- 
ferior plants which will 
fail to give satisfaction 
on account of their 
poor, broken roots. 
The plants wc offer are 
large, first-class, se- 
lected dormant balls 
which will respond 
quickly to water and 
throw' out their long, 
graceful fronds in a 
very short time.
