A Novelty of Merit, Cyphomandra Fragrans 
I offer the rare and beautiful Cyphomandra Fragrans, 20 seeds for only 5 cts. Almost every seed will produce 
a plant. It is a perennial, hardy South, but must be protected North. Cyphomandra is an easily-grown plant with 
massive semi-tropical leaves, and bearing in Autumn big racemes of deliciously scented and beautiful pink flowers. 
Given a frost-proof room the leaves will drop, but early in spring it will be re-clothed with new richly colored foli¬ 
age, and later with the showy pink bloom which will be succeeded by rich scarlet palatable fruit the size of a duck- 
egg, valuable as a nutricious and tasty vegetable. This is new from Brazil, and will be the wonder and admiration 
of all who grow it and the talk of the town. Give it a trial.
