Surplus After Season Sale 
of Hardy Climbers 
At the end of our selling season, we often have a surplus of several 
kinds of hardy climbing vines, and rather than carry the stock over, we 
hold a clearance sale beginning May 15th, and make up surplus collections 
at $1.50 per collection. In these $1.50 collections, we give several dollars’ 
worth of vines. All must be strictly our selection. Orders accepted any 
time before May 15th, and delivery will be made as soon after May 15th 
as possible. If you have any unsightly places that could be improved in 
appearance by a few vines, and don’t feel that you can afford to select the 
varieties at regular prices, order one or more of these collections.

Strawberry Guava 
Everbearing 
Lemon 
A fine pot plant, with glossy leaves, fragrant waxy-white blossoms, and 
an abundance of delicious little Oranges that will hang on the plants for 
six months after they are ripe. While it will grow 3 to 4 feet high and 
branch freely, it is not an uncommon thing to see little 5 to 6 inch plants 
full of bloom and even bearing one or two Oranges. Plants, 30c each; 
3 for 75c, postpaid. 
Everbearing Lemon 
A true everbearing Lemon that can be as eas¬ 
ily grown in a pot as a Geranium and which 
produces fruit weighing from one to three 
pounds each. These enormous fruits are borne 
on plants one to two feet high growing in pots; 
bear continually; delicious for lemonade and 
culinary purposes. Flowers are as fragrant as 
orange blossoms, which they somewhat resemble. 
Plants, 30c each; 3 for 75c, postpaid. 
Grow Figs in the North 
Our Dwarf Fig is particularly adapted to pot culture. As a pot or tub 
plant, it is extremely valuable, either indoors or outdoors, and is an abun¬ 
dant bearer of the most delicious fruit. It will winter safely in an ordinary 
cellar, or it can be allowed to harden off with a few fall frosts and then be 
brought indoors for growing during the winter. Our Dwarf Fig is, a variety 
which fruits on the young wood, that is wood of the current year’s growth, 
which makes it a most desirable variety where the tops are likely to be 
frozen back, for if the top is frozen it can be cut to the ground, and when 
it begins growing, it will produce fruit on the new wood. It is for pot or 
tub culture that we particularly recommend this Fig, but when grown in the 
open ground, it will develop a crop of fruit farther north than is true of 
other varieties. Plants bear the first year they are set and abundantly each 
year thereafter. The fruit is very sweet and delicious; of good size ; with 
flesh that is firm and meaty, and of very fine quality for making preserves, 
jams, canning, drying, or to eat in the fresh state. Plants, 50c each; 3 tor 
$1.25, postpaid. 
Strawberry Guava 
Delicious, Sweet and Spicy 
This is a luscious tropical fruit which 
makes a useful as well as a charming and 
beautiful bouse plant. It bears both flow¬ 
ers and fruit at the same time. The flowers are 
pure white and delightfully fragrant. The fruit 
is about the size of a walnut, of a beautiful red¬ 
dish color, and of delicious, sweet and spicy 
flavor. Fine for eating out of hand, and unsur¬ 
passed for making jelly. These plants are usu¬ 
ally grown from seed and begin to bloom and 
bear fruit while quite small. Pkt., 10c; 3 pkts., 
25c. Plants, 40c each; 3 for $1.00, postpaid.
