JOHN LEWIS CHILDS, FLORAL PARK, N. Y 
This grand novelty does not differ from the 
common Cape Jessamine or Gardenia except it blos¬ 
soms all the year round , while the old sort blooms 
only for a short time in the spring. The flowers 
of this are very large and perfect with pure white 
wax-like petals and glorious fragrance. Large, double and surpassingly lovely. A good plant will show flowers every day 
in the year, and it is an easy thing to manage, growing well as a window plant. A grand Novelty. 50 c. each.

(Chenille Plant) 
This is one of the most 
gorgeous and peculiar flow¬ 
ering plants thus far dis¬ 
covered. It grows up a 
straight, stout branching 
plant, clothed with large 
green leaves of good sub¬ 
stance, and out of the axil of 
every leaf grows a spike of 
l blossom, glowing crimson- 
g scarlet in color, 20 to SO in~ 
s chcslong , as large around as. 
one’s finger and looks like a 
long piece of crimson-scar¬ 
let chenille cord. They grow 
on the plant exactly as our 
cut shows, and on plants a> 
foot high the lower flower 
spikes will hang below the 
bottom of the pot, and they 
continue to lengthen as the 
plant grows larger. They 
last for months before fading 
and before they fall off 
several other spikes have 
started out in the same leaf 
axil , and it is thus always iu 
bloom—January to Decern- ; 
ber. Even tiny plants in 
thumb-pots bloom , though of 
course the spikes are pro-, 
portionately smaller. This 
plant was discovered inNew 
Guinea and it did not come 
from the Philippines as 
Dewey’s favorite flower, as 
has been sensationally ad¬ 
vertised. A magnificent 
novelty. Strong, healthy 
plants, 30c. each; 4 for $1.00.
