BOOK OF VEGETABLE AND FLOWER SEEDS 
BIRD OF PARADISE [Poinciana Gilles] 
Here is a rare novelty, a very interesting: plant. The foliage of this 
new plant reminds one of a very delicate Acacia. The flower is a 
golden yellow, measuring nearly 2Vi inches across, of beautiful shape 
as shown in the ilustration. They are produced in very large trusses, 
and the most beautiful part of the flowers are the very large pistils, 
which spread out in a fan-like form, of bright crimson color. It 
blooms in great profusion the first year, if sown early in the spring. 
Can be grown inside in winter and outside in summer. Will produce 
large plants 3 to 5 feet tall. We first offered it seven years ago and 
the demand has been something unusual, simply exhausting our en¬ 
tire stock of seeds some time before the season was over, but we 
hope to supply all orders this season, as we have arranged for a 
greater supply than heretofore. A packet of the seed should be 
included with your order. Pkt., 6c.: 3 pkts., 1 5c.; 6 pkts., 25c,
