GREVILLEA ROBUSTfl. 
(The Silk Oak.) 
A magnificent plant for decorative purposes ; of 
rapid, easy growth, finely cut foliage, rivaling a rare 
fern. The young growing leaves are a light bronze 
color, the tips being covered with a soft down, closely 
resembling raw silk, hence the name of “Silk Oak.’’ 
In its native place it attains magnificent proportions 
and produces an abundance of bright, orange colored 
flowers. The leaves are fine for designs, so fern-like 
and not liable to wilt, io cts each, 3 for 25 cts. 
GLADIOLUS. 
The Gladiolus is the most beautiful of the tender 
summer-flowering bulbs. I is spikes are all of desirable 
colors ; some are 2 feet in height. If cut when the lower 
flowers only are open, they will remain in good order, 
opening fully, for several weeks. By planting the 
bulbs at intervals of two week's from April to July, a 
grand succession of bloom can be had until hard 
frosts. After frost, lift the bulbs and store them in 
a dry cellar. Our Gladioluses elicited the admiration 
of all visitors last summer. We offer a mixture of 200 
varieties, raised mostly from seed, hardly any two 
Gladiolus.

were in bloom.

Geraniums. 
The hot southern sun is too severe for many plants that are beautiful in northern and western cities, and 
frequent drouths bar out many more, but Geraniums endure sun and 
drouth, and upon the return of cooler days and heavy dews they grow 
and bloom as if there had never been weather of any sort but that of 
their own choosing. It matters not what the temperature, Geraniums 
are always growing, always green, and crowned with flowers from 
May until November. Perhaps in no other class of plants has the 
march of improvement advanced so rapidly. New colors, new styles, 
profuse blooming sorts— all these have combined to make the Ge- 
ranium the most popular plant for bedding and house culture.
