plant will grow and bloom for years without 
once ceasing, and the quantity of bloom which 
a good plant will produce is astonishing. It is 
estimated that six plants of the old sort will not 
produce as many powers in the course qi a year 
as will one plant of this new dwarf variety. A 
large plant is hardly ever without one or more 
flowers, and its dwarf, compact habit makes it a 
much more desirable pot plant than the old 
variety. Its flowers are of large size and snowy 
white in color. All in all U is one of the most 
desirable plants we ever offerod. 75 cents each; 
extra large plants, $1.00.
