NEW WEEPING LANTANA==DELICATISSIMA 
Our illustration gives some idea of the new Weeping Lantana when planted in baskets, 
vases or pots for which it is particularly recommended; but it is, if possible, more beautiful 
still when beded out. The plant is a neat, handsome grower, producing a gTeat abundance 
of leafy vines, which cover the ground with their pretty foliage, and bear such an immense 
profusion of lovely, clear pink flowers, that the whole bed seems a sheet of rosy bloom from 
early summer till late fall. Scarcely anything on our grounds attract more attention than a 
bed of this charming Lantana. The flowers are borne in elegant clusters, and hundreds and 
thousands of them are in bloom all the time. Price of Weeping Lantanas, 1 Oc. each. 
(For Lantana. Seed see page 51.)

display than any other flower for the money invested. Salvia Splendens blooms early and 
very freely. It is one of the finest bedding plants, being completely covered all summer and 
fail with long spikes of dazzling scarlet flowers, remaining in bloom until cut down by frost. 
Price, 10c. each; 3 for 28c. (For Salvia Splendens Seed nee page 47.) 
LEMON, 
American Wonder or Ponderosa. 
Quite a novelty of the citrus fa¬ 
mily, originated at Hagerstown, Md., 
from the seed of an ordinary lemon. 
The original plant when quite small 
bore fruit of extremely large size, 
much to the amazement of its origi¬ 
nator. Cuttings from this plant 
produce a large stock. Horticultural 
experts pronounce it across between 
the ordinary lemon and the grape¬ 
fruit or Pomelo, the hybridziation 
being formed by a bee. This, in brief, 
is the history of the lemon. It in¬ 
herited the large size of the Pomelo, 
and the acidity of the lemon. The 
plant is of rapid growth, with large 
dark green foliage, and often bears 
fruit weighing 3 to 5 pounds. Flow¬ 
ers are pure waxy-white and resem¬ 
ble orange blossoms, only larger and 
more compact and exceedingly sweet 
scented. An elegant plant for porch 
or lawn decoration. Very ornament¬ 
al on account of its large, shiny, foli¬ 
age and its wonderful immense fruit, 
which is produced very freely. It is 
of easy culture, flowering and fruit¬ 
ing in any good ordinary soil. The 
fruit is edible and may be used for all 
culinary purposes. No grafting or 
budding is necessary 15c. each.
