BIRD OF PARADISE 
(Poinciana GHIesi) 
An attractive plant. producing 
yellowish flowers In large compact 
trisses; the foliage also Is very beau¬ 
tiful and highly decorative, similar 
to the Acacia. A lady front the 
south says: “Mine grew 12 feet high, 
launching 2 feet front the ground, 
forming a well-rounded tree. Every 
branch was covered with orange-red 
flowers, with long red stamens, the 
whole having a marked effect and 
attracting great attention. It grows 
like Jack’s bean stalk, blooms early 
and continues until frost.” Green¬ 
house perennial except In the south, 
■where It Is hardy. Pkt., 10 seeds. 6c. 
CANARY BIRD FLOWER 
A splendid climber for the porch or trellis. It grows rapidly, 
has very pretty foliage, and curiously shaped, canary yellow 
flowers, with fancied likeness to a bird with outstretched wings. 
I recommend it as one of the most desirable vines to be obtained 
Irom seed. Annual. Pkt.. 25 seeds. 5c. 
BEGONBA 
TUBEROUS-ROOTED 
Tills charming class produces real¬ 
ly phenomenal flowers, frequently 
from -J to g Inches across, with col¬ 
ors ranging from pure white and 
delicate tints of pink, yellow and 
orange to gorgeous scarlet and crimson 
shades. They bloom only in summer, and 
are fine for bedding, or for the window 
when most house plants are resting. Mixed 
double and single, Pkt., 300 seeds, 10c. 
Prize Begonia. Saved from 100 of the 
newest and best varieties. The foliage is 
almost ns beautiful as the flowers, in most 
being shaded bright red. They grow easily 
from seed, bloom early and continuously, 
and are the most brilliant plnnts for pot¬ 
ting and bedding. Pkt., 300 seeds, 7c. 
Begonia Vernon. Rich red flowers and bronzy red foliage. A 
splendid bedding sort. Used with Little Gem Alyssum for a 
border the effect is line. Pkt., 300 seeds, 6c. 
Begonia Special Mixed. The above three and other choice 
sorts mixed. Pkt., 300 seeds, 7c. 
CACTUS 
Many like to ex¬ 
periment with Cacti, 
and raising seedlings, 
says Hailey’s Ene. of 
Hurt., "is better than 
importing plants from 
their native habitat 
if one desires to get 
a line collection.” All 
Cneti are easy to 
grow, enduring the 
bent and dryness of 
the living-room better 
than other plants. 
Mixed, from a splendid col¬ 
lection. Pkt., 50 seeds, 6c. 
COLUMBINE (Aquilegla) 
No perennial bed is complete without the Columbine. I offer 
a very choice mixture, including the Chrysantha, a long-spurred 
yellow variety, Coerulea, the Colorado state flower, and many 
beautiful new hj’brids. Some are very double, and others will 
have extra large flowers with extremely Jong spurs. Double and 
single mixed, IV 2 to 3 ft. Pkt., 200 seeds, 5c.
