NOVELTIES AND SUPER QUALITY PLANTS 
Any garden will acquire double interest and charm if some 
unusual p’ants or flowers are grown. For the convenience of 
customers we have grouped a selection of them which are 
worthy of space and care, to p'ease the more discerning 
flower fancier. Try some of them. 
CHILEAN LILY. A very choice perennial for sunny loca¬ 
tions requiring deep soil for its spreading fleshy roots. Its 
flowers in June and July are clusters of orchid-like blossoms 
ranging in colors from orange, salmon, pink, yellow and cream. 
Pot grown plants 50c each. 
AFRICAN LIONS TAIL. This grows much like a large 
Salvia but is shrubby with narrow leaves, the long branches 
bearing whorls of deep orange yellow fuzzy flowers in late 
September-October of unusual beauty. They make original 
cut flowers and the plants may be taken up over winter and 
stored frost free in a basement as they become more pleasing 
year after year. Need sunny warm locations. 50c each. Extra 
large $1.00 and $1.50. Large ones grow to 4 ft. tall. 
Many of our rare plants are not listed, however, as too few 
are on hand for that, but upon your inquiry they may be 
supplied. We offer only subjects that have proven their 
merit in our trials in Portland. 
TROPIC TASSEL PLANT. A curious textured fo’iage very 
tough, woody, yet graceful and lasting; will be one of the 
most satisfactory house plants of the future as it thrives as 
readily as the Sanseviera but is far more charming and dur¬ 
able. Flowers during midwinter, throwing up a drooping spike 
clothed in carmine colored foliage out of which cascades a 
cluster of small flowers combining violet blue with green and 
yellow in striking color effect. Startling to say the least, and 
so easily grown in every home where these plants with ordi¬ 
nary care may last for years. One of the finest house plants 
introduced by us during over 30 years in Portland. Fine speci¬ 
mens from $1.50 to $2.50 each, according to size of plant. This 
plant is native of tropical regions and thrives in the warm dry 
air of modern homes. (Limited stock only; early orders advis¬ 
able.)
