Otafieite Orapge. 
MOST UNIQUE POT PLANT 
IN CULTIVATION. 
An extra fine pot plant with 
glossy green leaves, the . true fra¬ 
grant orange blooms and abundant 
little bright oranges that will hang 
on the little bush like balls of gold 
for six months after they are ripe. 
They will bloom and fruit in a two- 
inch pot; and we have seen a plant in 
a common window, that was but 15 
inches high,and had 23 oranges on it. 
With good sunlight they are never 
out of fruit from one year’s end to 
another, and at least two-thirds of 
the time are in flower also. The 
fruit is very sweet and handsome. 
Could we have but one plant in our 
window it would be an Otaheite 
Orange. In beauty, grace and fra¬ 
grance there is nothing like its deli¬ 
cate, leafy sprays of bloom, so in¬ 
describable, exquisite, dainty, love¬ 
ly and adorable. Fine plants for 
blooming and fruiting at once. 
20c. each; S for 50c.; extra large, by 
express , 50c. 
pipe o&pple. 
A picturesque plant. 'Always a center of attraction in 
conservatory or window. Fruits when but a year old, and 
the handsome conical fruit is very delicate, and finely flav¬ 
ored and highly fragrant. Not at all hard to grow, if kept 
in a warm place. It will be a success if grown in a window 
where ordinary- plants do well. Really one of the most desi¬ 
rable plants. 25c. each; 3 for 60c. 
Melop Pear, or Pepipo. 
A rapid-growing, dark-leaved plant, blooming when 
quite small. The fruit is the size and shape of a goose egg, 
and very handsome; in color a pale lemon mottled with 
waves of bright violet Inside the fruit resembles a pear, 
and tastes somewhat like a banana, but is much sweeter 
and jucier. Very ornamental when in flower and fruit. 
An elegant not plant; also fine for the garden. 20c. each; 
3 for 50c.; 7 for $1.00.
