iaM yours we have led the world in the Introduction of valuable Plant and Rulb Novelties. 
A new plant for winter blooming which 
surpasses any novelty that has been brought 
out in many years. In fact, it will be hard 
to name a plant now in cultivation which 
can equal it in beauty and general good 
qualities. It has a most beautiful fern-like 
foliage and blooms perpetually every .day in 
the year, its blossoms being the shape and 
nearly the size of Sweet Peas, and borne in 
great clusters of twenty to forty. These 
clusters appear at the axils of the 
leaves, and a single branch shows many 
clusters of bloom ot all times. The 
plant is a free and rapid 
grower, beginning to bloom 
in three or four weeks from 
cuttings, and continuing for 
years. It is easier to grow 
and manage than a Geran¬ 
ium, thriving in any soil and 
in any window, and is a 
superb bedding plant for the 
garden in summer. We be¬ 
lieve there is no plant so easy 
to grow, or one that thrives 
and blooms under all condi¬ 
tions as does this charming 
Swanflower.
