Trailing Fuchsia Procumbens. 
One of the very best trailing plants we have for 
house, basket, vase, or window. Foliage small and 
thick. Flowers curious in shape; color red, with 
blue anthers. Mixed with the blooms in great quan¬ 
tities, appear bright red berries a little larger than 
cherries, which stay on for ■•nearly six months.

Beets, ORNAMENTAL FOLIAGE. Frost-proof 
foliage plants, resisting all effects of frosts or freez¬ 
ing for six weeks after most plants are killed. The 
leaves of some varieties grow over 3 feet long and 
1 foot wide. They display the greatest range of 
color, from silvery white to deep blood crimson. 
Mammoth leaves, of most beautiful colors. 
Packet, 5c. 
Four O’ Clocks, marvel of peru 
(Mirabilis.) The improved Four O’clock is one 
of our most desirable plants. It grows in any 
soil and under any treatment. Planted like peas, 
they soon make a row of plants smothered with 
flowers, which have the strange habit of remaining 
closed_ until exactly 4 o’clock, when they burst out 
in.their glory. For planting where other flowers 
will not grow, and ease of cultivation, nothing 
equals them. The roots are hardy and perennial, 
growing from year to year. They can also be 
wintered in the cellar. 
Fuchsia. Doubte'and singlemixed. 
My seeds of this beautiful plant 
have been saved from a splendid 
collection of named sorts. Sow in

plant when large enough. Double

Ferns. These are greatly admired 
for window and house decoration, 
and, when established, are very 
easily managed, and more hardy 
than most other house plants. The 
seeds are very small and fine. Sow 
in shallow boxes of light, peaty soil, 
and keep moist by covering with 
fine moss. A temperature of 60 
degrees is about right. Packet, 10c.

with this plant. Packet, 5c.; oz., 20c.
