ANTHURIUM ANDREANUM HYBRIDS (Manda) —After twenty years of hybridizing 
I have now over twenty fine named varieties, varying from richest red to the purest 
white. One of the easiest growing and free flowering plants in cultivation. The flowers 
are most durable, lasting three months on the plant and one month when cut. Price 
of flowering size plants, our selection, $1.00 each; 6 plants in 6 named vars, for $9.00; 12 
plants in 12 rare varieties for $25.00. 
ANTHERICUIVI COMMOSUM —The type from which A. Mandaianum was raised. 
Compact plant with bright green leathery foliage and long streamers with young plants, 
making an ideal plant in green color what A. Mandaianum does in variegated. Price, 25c. 
each; $2.50 per dozen. 
ASPARAGUS RETROFLEXUS —Fine addition to this useful class of green decorative 
plants, upright growth of very light green foliage, making a fine plant or useful cut greens 
for artistic decoration. Strong plants at 50c. each; $5.00 per dozen. 
GERANIUM, EVERBLOOMING SCARLET (Manda) —One of the grandest varieties 
as a bedder or for winter flowering under glass. Plant free growing, producing innumerable 
large trusses of flowers. The individual flowers are bright scarlet red, as large as a silver 
dollar and last well. Price, 2%-inch pots, 25c. each; $2.50 per dozen; $18.00 per 100. 
Strong specimens in 4-inch pots at 50c. each; $5.00 per dozen. 
SELAGINELLA MANDAIANA (Manda) —One of the surprises that came with an 
Orchid importation. Extraordinary quick grower, forming a fine compact plant of droop¬ 
ing habit. Excellent plant for any purpose, especially for baskets or edges of greenhouse 
benches or flower boxes. Not only the beauty of the plants is to be recommended, but the 
extreme hardiness of the plant, as it is the most durable and easiest growing Seiaginella 
in cultivation. Strong plants, 50c. each; $5.00 per dozen.

CALCEOLARIA STEWARTI I —This is a hybrid between the greenhouse varieties and 
the shrubby kinds. Flowers are golden yellow and come in immense trusses. It is

blooms. One of the earliest varieties. 50c. each, $5.00 per dozen.

anthemums, and a sport from the celebrated Chieftain. One of the finest late-flowering 
Chrysanthemums. 50c. each; $5.00 per dozen. 
CARNATION ALICE (Fisher) —Another of the ‘‘Peter Fisher’s Sterling varieties,” 
which he describes, viz.: Color, a beautiful shade of clear blush pink, without a trace 
of salmon; exactly midway between ‘Gloriosa’ and ‘Enchantress’ The blooms average 
from 3 to 3% inches; the habit of the plant leaves nothing to be desired. Well-balanced 
plant. Comes into flower early; is a persistent and enormous bloomer all through the 
fall and winter months. The most productive carnation I have offered to date.” 
CARNATION GOOD CHEER (Dorner) —Color, deep pink, darker than “Gloriosa”; 
stems extra long and stiff, flower 3 to 3% inches in size. It has good keeping qualities, 
and is an early and continuous bloomer. As a producer it has exceptional merit.
