RAT TAIL CACTUS. This very curious rope-like plant 
covered with trailing branches that bear a fur of fine thorn¬ 
like hairs is one of the unique house plants the average ama¬ 
teur can grow with great success. These bear trumpet-like 
bright carmine rose flowers during the spring season that 
resemble to some extent the Christmas cactus. We have fine 
grafted specimens on stems of the night blooming eereus pro¬ 
ducing a most unique effect. A limited number only is avail¬ 
able at $1.50 to $2.50 each, in 3-year grafted specimens. 
TRADESCANTIA. In a fine silver-leafed form is a dainty 
trailing plant to grow indoors and demands little care. Price 
for small pots, 25c; larger plants, 75c to $1.00. 
BOSTON FERNS. Unexcelled for gracefulness and satis¬ 
factory behavior, they have maintained popularity as indoor 
decorative plants. We have, during the winter periods, elegant 
plants in various sizes, selling anywhere from 50c to $3.50 
each. They are available in plain leaf forms and fringed 
kinds often called Ostrich Plume Ferns. 
Flowering plants as well as other indoor potted kinds 
need occasional fertilizing of the soil, best accomplished 
once a month by the application of 
MORECROP FERTILIZER TABLETS 
We can furnish them put up in neat packets with full 
printed directions at 10c, plus postage, 2c. 
These change sickly looking ferns into thrifty, vigor¬ 
ous growing specimens. 
BIRD OF PARADISE. Small deciduous tree with fern-like 
foliage for hot dry locations; flowers in clusters bright yellow 
with long scarlet stamens of startling effect; very novel. 
$1.00 each. 
PERSIAN BUTTERCUPS. A bulbous plant of new im¬ 
proved large flowering type. Grown in limited quantity, 
ready for planting out in early March. These demand rich 
soil and sunny location and will flower in May and June. 
Flowers resemble pompon dahlias in color ranging from 
white, cream, yellow, orange, salmon and scarlet to crimson. 
This is perhaps the finest cut flower for the garden to bloom 
in the late spring and early summer, and are to be spaced 
12 inches apart. 6 for 85c; 12 for $1.50. 
ROMNEYA COULTERI. The rare Matilija poppy, glau¬ 
cous foliage, very large silky white flowers with crepe paper¬ 
like petals, delightfully fragrant. Full sun and porous soil.

partial shade or damp locations. Flowers of richest deep

blossoms. Flower stems to 18 inches high. Offered for the 
first time to plant fanciers since its introduction from the 
mountains of China. (Limited). 50c each.
