Qlea pragraps. 
(Fragrant Olivet) 
What is it? you may ask. Well, in the first place, it is 
the sweetest flower that blooms; and in the second place, it 
belongs to the Olive family and is a perpetual bloomer, never 
without flowers, either summer or winter, though the plant 
may not be a foot in height. The flowers are small, creamy 
white and borne in immense clusters. Each individual blos¬ 
som, though no larger than the head of a shawl-pin, has 
more sweetness than the largest and most fragrant Lily. Its 
fragrance is also delicate and charming, really the finest of 
all flowers, and you cannot pass a plant without noticing it. 
It succeeds well in any window. 40c. each; 3 for $1.00. Extra 
large, hy express, 70c. each.
