TAYLOR’S 1934 FLOWER AND PLANT GUIDE 
ACQUATIC PLANTS 
FOR THE LILY POOL 
WATER HYANCITHS—Fill bowl about half 
full of good soil. Pour in water until it will 
stand two or three inches deep. Place the 
lower roots in soil and let plants float in water 
Has fine blooms, borne on spike of bluish color, 
fine for fish bowls or outside pools. Will grow 
fine floating on top of water but will not bloom 
so well unless roots reach soil. Price, 15c; 2 
for 25c. 
HARDY WATER LILIES—Liiies are easy to 
plant, but it must be noted that they are to 
be set horizontally and not be put in up and 
down or they will likely fail to start. Just press 
them into the ground, covering them with an 
inch of soil away from off the growing end. 
The soil should be well firmed around them. An 
inch of sand or gravel put on the box after they 
have been planted will help to keep the water 
clear and prevent the goldfish from rooting in 
the mud. A few days after planting if the water 
becomes dark and discolored from the fertilizer 
used, it will be well to drain the water off and 
fill up with fresh. In our own pools we always 
do this and recommend it particularly for small 
pools. We think it the most essential thing in 
establishing a pool. 
PAUL HARTOT—Very large. When first open¬ 
ed the flowers are canary yellow, the second 
day shaded with pink at base of petals; very 
beautiful. 
GLADSTONE—Flowers cup shaped. Very mas¬ 
sive ; pure dazzling white. You will like this 
one for large pools. 
JAMES BRYDON—This variety grows 4 to 6 
inches in diameter. Color, rosy crimson ; a won¬ 
derful Lily. 
PINK OPAL—Exquisite deep rich pink ; flow¬ 
ers of interesting form. It presents an appear¬ 
ance quite unique and decidedly attractive. Ex¬ 
cellent as a cut flower. Price, $2.00 each. 
ROSE AREY—The bright cerise flowers are 
very large, up to eight inches in diameter ; very 
sweetly scented, with pointed petals, giving ef¬ 
fect of dark shades near the edge. Free flow¬ 
ering and of strong growth. This Lily is of 
exceptional beauty. Price, $2.00 each. 
PARROT FEATHER—Quite successful when 
planted in a tub or water tight hanging basket. 
The growth soon goes over the edge in the 
form of soft trailing sprays. Price, 10c; 3 for 
25c. 
FUCHSIAS 
FUCHSIA 
(LADIES’ EAR DROPS 
Will grow in almost any soil, but does best in a 
light, open, spongy one. It must be well water¬ 
ed. Do not allow the roots to become dry. A 
daily shower on its foliage will be a great help. 
It likes the morning sun or will do well in a 
partial shade. Never expose to the hot midday 
or afternoon sun. All pot grown. Postpaid. 
BLACK PRINCE—One among the very finest 
Fuchsias grown for the beginner. It makes a 
shapely bush; robust in growth. Blossoms of 
a beautiful waxy carmine or pink color. 15c 
ea-ch; 2 for 25c. 
SPECIOSA—(known as the Winter Bloomer) — 
Color rich carmine and rose. Remarkable for 
its bright glossy green leaves. Price, 15c; 2 for 
25c. 
TRAILING QUEEN—This Fuchsia is an en¬ 
tirely new different from other large-flowering 
varieties in its habit of growth, is a trailing 
vine. The young plants, as they commense 
growth, creep out to the edge of the pot, and 
then go trailing downward. It continues grow¬ 
ing and branching in this way until the vines 
are a solid wavy mass of the most elegant 
foliage and perfect flowers. The flowers are 
borne in large drooping clusters; very large, 
long, graceful sepals scarlet, corolla purple. 
15c each or 2 for 25c. 
LITTLE BEAUTY—The greatest novelty in 
Fuchsias. The loveliest-flowering, dwarf-grow¬ 
ing Fuchsia known. It is a superb and hand¬ 
some little beauty, branching like a tree and 
covered with enormous perfectly formed flowers. 
Sepals bright scarlet, with rich violet-purple 
corolla. Vigorous growing, free flowering, a 
most charming window plant, remarkable for its 
constant profusion of beautiful flowers, one of 
the most desirable Fuchsias in cultivation. 15c 
each or 2 for 25c. 
GIANT PINK—Characteristically similar to 
Mrs. Hill, but with more petalage, and with 
the deep pink of the calyx heavily veining 
the corolla. 15c each; 2 for 25c. 
PHILODENDRON 
“The Wonder Vine” or Devil’s Ivy 
For use in fern dishes, wall pockets, baskets 
or any place where anything else will thrive. By 
far the best plant for use in the home as un¬ 
derwatering, over-watering or any adverse con¬ 
ditions will little affect it. For fern dishes, 
plant a sufficient quantity in dish and pin the 
vine to the soil and it will root at every joint 
and form a compact mass of green heart-shaped 
leaves. 20c; 2 for 35c. 
CROTONS 
They are beautiful for pot plants. Nothing 
can excell the richness of coloring found in this 
plant. Very effective for summer bedding. Nice 
plants 20c. 
CROWN OF THORNS 
(Euphorbia Splendens)—The Great Biblical 
Plant which is found on the wild and rocky hills 
of Judea. Very peculiar with thick, fleshy twin¬ 
ing stems, which are covered with sharp, stout 
spines nearly an inch long. The leaves or foli¬ 
age is very bright green and there are an abund¬ 
ance of light coral pink colored flowers. Easy 
to grow and the plant can be trained to assume 
any desired shape. 15c each. 
MANETTIA BICOLOR 
The most beautiful of all vines. Can be grown 
in house or garden. Can be trained about a 
window, forming a wreath of the most brilliant 
bloom both summer and winter. Flowers scarlet, 
shading into flame, tipped with bright golden 
yellow. Price, 15c each; 2 for 25c. An Annual.

rant as jasmine. Blooms indoors in winter and
