SHOO-FLY PLANT 
It is said that flies will not stay in a 
room where it is grown if they can con¬

the plants and flowers have no odor. It is a beautiful flowering plant, and 
blooms in a short time (60 days) from seed. It is a profuse bloomer in pots 
both summer and winter, the blossoms being large, cup-shaped and of a 
lovely light blue color with white center. Pkt., 10c.

VI/ATpO HYACINTH A beautiful water plant for the house, forming a 
” 1 1 lovely rosette of shining green leaves and throwing up 
spikes of exquisite lilac-rose flowers resembling Hyacinth blooms. The most beautiful effect is 
produced by using a glass vessel of some sort with shells and white sand so arranged as to con¬ 
ceal the small amount of soil used. It is a most useful plant for aquariums and outdoor pools, 
as fish will not thrive unless enough plants are growing to furnish them with oxygen. To do 
this there should be not less than one plant to every two gallons of water. Plants, 35c each, 
postpaid.
