FERNS 
BOSTON The fronds are much larger and longer than the Sword 
Fern, and do not stand so stiff, but droop gracefully. 
Excellent for making large specimen plants, also for hanging 
baskets. Price, nice young plants, 15c, 25c and 50c each. 
WHITMANII (Ostrich Plume Fern.) More of a dwarf habit than 
the Boston Fern. The fronds are of entirely dif¬ 
ferent nature. Each frond is subdivided on the order of the Com- 
pacta Fern, thus producing a very beautiful effect. Price, 15c, 25c 
and 50c. 
NEPHROLEPIS SPLENDIDA This is the most wonderful fern of 
them all. It combines the good 
qualities of the four most popular sorts. It has the grace of a 
“Boston,” the wavy effect of a “Roosevelt,” the fluffy effect of an 
"Ostrich Plume,” and the uniqueness of the “Fish Tail.” Price, 15c, 
25c each: larger, 50c. 
NORWOOD FERN A dwarf, compact form of Whitmanii, carry¬ 
ing its fronds stiff and erect on wiry stems 
that do not break down. Makes ideal specimens. Called by some 
florists Fluffy Ruffles Fern. Very showy. Price, 15c, 25c and 50c. 
NEPHROLEPIS SPARROWII It has the dark green foliage which, 
with its beautiful crested fronds, 
makes it a most unique, distinct and desirable fern. Price, young 
plants, 15c and 25c; larger plants, 50c. 
ASPARACUS SPRENCERII Emerald Feather. Very valuable for 
vases and baskets. A strong, vigor¬ 
ous plant, very easily grown and requires little care. Price, 15c 
and 25c each. 
ASPARACUS PLUMOSUS Climbing Lace Fern. An extremely 
graceful window climber. The fine, 
feathery foliage is always bright and green. Price, 15c and 25c each. 
SANSEVIERIA 
ZEBRA PLANT An ideal decorative plant for rough filling in, 
or for tub use on the floor. It will stand more 
hardship and abuse than any other house plant of which we know. 
Leaves thick and of leathery texture, not affected by gas, dust or 
heat. Grows to a length of 3 to 4 feet. Each upright, wavy leaf 
arising from the roots is beautifully striped crosswise of leaves 
with broad, jagged white variegation on a dark green ground. Plants, 
5 to 6 leaves, 25c each. 
LEOPARD PLANT A striking novelty form of Zeylanica, the 
variegation being a rich cream color instead 
of white, with the addition of a wide cream border around each leaf. 
Plants, 3 to 4 leaves, 50c each. 
OLEANDERS 
Price, 25 cents each 
ROSEA Double pink flowers ; the old fashioned; very sweet. 
LILIAN HENDERSON Double white flowers ; fragrant. 
SINGLE RED Strong grower; good bloomer. 
SPLENDENS One of the best. Flowers large, lavender-pink. 
VESTAL’S GIANT PANSIES 
Pansy plants planted in the spring as soon as the frost is out 
of the ground will begin to bloom at once, and afford daily pleasure 
for a month before Coleus or Geraniums could even be planted. If 
snow should fall after planting, they would not be hurt. In fact, 
to get the best results from Pansies, they should be planted just as 
early as they can te. To get best results and extra large flowers, 
the soil must be extremely rich—we use equal parts of well-rotted 
manure and soil. Price, 5c each, 50c per dozen, $3.00 per 100. 
TUFTED PANSIES, or VIOLAS 
While the flowers of the Tufted Pansies are not 60 large as the 
regular type, yet they bloom so freely that they are superior to 
pansies where effect is wanted, the colors being particularly clear 
and distinct; they also bloom for a longer time. Mixed colors. 
Transplanted plants from hot beds, 5c each, 50c dozen. 
IMPATIENS 
A free-flowering and showy annual that may be had in bloom 
any time of the year. Includes a wide range of colors—flesh pink, 
pink, rose, salmon, orange, carmine, crimson, and violet shades. 
Impatiens thrive in a shady or semi-shaded exposure and grow one 
to two feet tall. 15c each, 3 for 40c. 
CHRISTMAS CACTUS 
LOBSTER CACTUS An early flowering crimson scarlet variety, 
with long drooping flowers, borne in great 
profusion. Stems branching and hanging in bunches. Blooms from 
Christmas to Easter time. It grows with the greatest ease, requires 
absolutely no care, living for months without water, increasing in 
value yearly. Fine plants, 25c each. 
POINSETTIA 
CHRISTMAS RED This is the plant which produces the large 
clusters of red leaves or flowers which are 
seen in all the flower stores at Christmas. Price, 30c each. 
% 
DOUBLE RED POINSETTIA A darker red form of the single 
sort with more than double the

in the spring. Price. 50c each.

handsome flowers. Price, 40c each. 
MANETTIA BICOLOR 
The most beautiful and desirable of all vines. Can be grown in 
house or garden. In the house it can be trained about a window, 
forming a wreath of the most brilliant bloom both summer and 
winter. Flowers of a most intense scarlet, shading into flame, tip¬ 
ped with bright golden yellow. Price, 15c each, 2 for 25c. 
BRAZILIAN PLUME PLANT 
PINK It is a strong, rapid grower, and throws long shoots, each 
of which is tipped with the beautiful pink plume-like flow¬ 
ers, the ends of every petal drooping in a most charming manner. 
This new sort begins to bloom when the plant has only three or 
four leaves and is never out of flower afterward. If pinched back 
occasionally it makes a very dwarf stocky plant, frequently covered 
with 20 to 50 large pink flower-heads, lasting a long time. Price, 
20c each, 3 for 50c. 
RED The same in every way as the Pink Plume Plant, except 
that the flowers are a deep cerise pink. Price, 20c each, 3 
for 50c.

fusion all season ; the best white variety to date.
