FURY ROSE SEED. 
(Rosa Rffl uItiflora nana Perpetua.) 
Thij is the true New Hardy Hy¬ 
brid Perpetual, Ever- 
Blooming Rose, which will 
surely blossom in 60 days. 
I have a photograph of a 
plant in flower 28 days 
from sowing the seed. This 
variety is entirely new and 
very expensive, and must 
not be confounded with 
seed sold as “iPolyantha” 
or “ Rflultiflora,” which 
simply means “many flowered” 
and will not bloom under four to 
six months, and altogether infe¬ 
rior in every way. These roses are a 
wonderful freak of nature. These 
-—-- sturdy little fidgets start to 
flower in babyhood two months from seed. They flower on little shoots 3 inches 
high. With age the flowers increase in size and number, until large trusses of bloom 
cover the plant from spring until frost, when the flower trusses are closely followed by 
clusters of bright red hips or seed pods. They are hardy and live from year to 
year, increasing in beauty and perfection each year. The flowers come 
double, semi-double, in many colors, white, pink and crimson.

THE TRUE ROSA MULTiPLORA NANA PERPETUA. 
NOTE—For two years I have advertised this true variety of quick-blooming Rose seed in competition 
with the common and cheap Multiflora seed offered by others. The price of the true seed 
is at least 60 or 100 times as great as the Multiflora, and the value of the plant is just as much 
better as the seed is more expansive. I am discouraged advi rtising this genuine seed against 
the cheap, as it would cost so much to explain the matter in an advertisement, as it is so confus¬ 
ing to many people, and many would doubt the statement anyway. But I still stand by my 
assertions in regard to this genuine seed and value it as high as ever.

THE GREAT CHINESE LANTERN PLANT- 
THE GREAT CHINESE 
~LANTERN PLANT. 
(PHYSALIS FRANCHETI). 
This singularly handsome New Chinese Plant is 
as easily grown from set d as a tomato, but is per¬ 
fectly hardy outside over winter. It produces a 
large number of balloon-like husks, 3to3>-4 inches 
across. At first these are a bright green, then light 
to bright yellow, then orange and scarlet. They 
greatly resemble in this last stage, miniature 
Chinese lanterns when lighted. The branches, 
covered with husks, are used with great effect as 
pa-h r ornaments, as they remain bright and fresh 
looking f~r over a year As a Christmas Tree 
decoration, nothing could be more unique or 
attractive. They are very handsome when 
arranged in tail vases together with dried grasses. 
In addition to its decorative qualities, the plant 
can be made highly prolitable, as the husks contain 
cherry-like fruit, more tnan an inch across, which 
can be used in many ways as tabic delicacies. The 
cenfoefieners of Paris could not obtain a sufficient 
supply for their use in making candied and sugared 
truit for bonbons. There is no doubt that these 
fruits will be bought in large quantities in our 
local markets and by city confectioners, as they 
remain iresh for many weeks and can be shipped 
for long distances without fear of loss.
