WAINSONIA, or SWaqfloWer. 
C~k NEW PLANT for pot or window culture which surpasses any novelty that has been brought 
jr[ °ut 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 at 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 Geranium, thriving in any soil and in any 
window, and is a superb bedding plant for the garden in summer. We believe there is no plant 
so easy to grow, or one that thrives and blooms under all conditions as does this charming 
Swanflower. As for beauty, one can only appreciate its wonderful loveliness when one sees the 
long, wavy branches clothed with its exquisite foliage, among which is mingled in such profusion 
the great clusters of red or white blossoms. Even then one can not describe its peculiar charm 
any more than he can the enchanting loveliness of the rarest Orchids, and we can compare its 
charms only to that flower. We offer two colors, fine plants for blooming at once : 
PURE WHITE—Large, milky white ; exquisite—30c. each ; four for $1.00. 
DEEP REI)—Fine dark red, with large white blotches on wings. This superb variety is 
offered now for the first time—40c. each ; three for $1.00.
