great masses of fine feathery foliage in a very short time. The stems grow 
several feet in length, and arc valuable for use in cut-flower work. Fine for 
hanging baskets or large pots. As a house plant it has no superior, as it 
withstands the indoor temperature well. Each, 20 cents ; two for 30 cents.

light feathery growth, which very much resembles lace. The graceful dark 
green foliage surpasses the Maiden Hair Fern in delicacy of texture. Splendid 
as a pot plant and for decorative purposes. Each, 20 cents; two for 30 cents. 
BEGONIA REX-^6c King of Begonias 
The Rex varieties are very effective as pot plants. Care should be taken to 
keep the foliage free from dust. Occasionally the plants may be showered, but 
should not be exposed to the sun until the leaves are perfectly dry. We 
have several distinct varieties of the Rex Begonia. 
Each, 25 cents ; three for 60 c'fents. 
CARNATIONS

and perfect outline of the Carnation, secures for it a prominent place in all 
collections of plants, either for the house or garden. It is one of the sweetest of 
flowers, and yields an abundance of bloom all summer. The plants may be 
potted in September, watered and shaded a few days, and they will bloom all 
winter, in a bright sunny window. Our list embraces a large assortment of 
colors, and the best of the standard varieties.
