General Collection of Tender Plants —Continued 
AGERATUMS 
These are fine for bedding out; always in bloom. They make 
fine border plants for edging walks or beds, being of dwarf 
growth. Also fine for basket and vase work. Price, 40 cents 
per dozen; $2.50 per hundred. 
PRINCESS PAULINE —A novel new variety of dwarf, compact 
habit, rarely exceeding eight inches in height. Its peculiarity 
consists of both blue and white being combined in the same 
flower, the body of the flower being white, while the stamens, 
forming an outer ring, are sky-blue, giving the flower a pretty 
variegated appearance. 
STELLA GURNEY — It is a decided improvement in color, be¬ 
ing the deepest blue yet introduced, and is exceptionally free 
flowering, not only in summer, but the year round. 
WHITE CAP Dwarf white. Makes a perfect line of white. 
The best white variety. 
LITTLE STAR— Deep blue flowers. Very dwarf, excellent for 
bordering beds of other flowers. 
ALOYSIA CITRIODORA 
Lemon Verbena— This plant has the most fragrant foliage of 
any plant grown. The fragrance is that of the Lemon. One 
plant will scent a whole yard. Grows rapidly. Exquisite. 
Price, 40 cents per dozen; $3.00 per hundred. 
BOUGAINVILLEA SANDERIANA 
This beautiful free-flowering plant was introduced recently, 
and account of its free-blooming qualities has become very 
popular, especially as a plant for Easter decoration. It is of 
a strong, rapid growth, and the brilliant rosy-crimson blos¬ 
soms in large racemes are produced from early March until 
midsummer. In fact, a well grown specimen will frequently 
flower the greater part of the year. Altogether a most desir¬ 
able subject for the conservatory or window garden. Strong 
plants, from two and one-half-inch pots, $1.00 per dozen; $6.00 
per hundred. Four-inch pots, $2.00 per dozen; $15.00 per 100. 
BRUGMANSIA, or Angel’s Trumpet 
Here is a plant for the masses. It grows easily, blooms 
freely, and the flower is something to be proud of. The Brug- 
mansia blooms indoors in winter and in the garden in summer. 
The plant has large, tropical leaves, with blooms eight inches 
long by six inches wide at the mouth, resembling a trumpet, 
hence the name "Angel's Trumpet.” Pure white in color and 
as fragrant as a Jasmine. Price, $1.00 per dozen. 
BASKET PLANTS 
A fine assortment. 50 cents per dozen; $3.00 per hundred. 
FLOWERING BEGONIAS 
Price, 2'/4-inch pots, except where noted, 50 cents per dozen; 
$3.50 per hundred. 
Begonias are fine to plant on the north side of the house or 
other building, or in front of porch where they get shade. The 
foliage, as well as the flowers, are extremely ornamental, some 
being spotted and veined to give a parti-colored effect that is 
quite striking. Begonias planted with Crotons give a wonderful 
foliage effect, and this is heightened with their lovely showy 
flowers. 
ALBA PICTA Long, pointed, slender leaves, thickly spotted 
with silvery-white. Foliage small and elegant. 
ALBA PERFECTA GRANDIFLORA We doubt if there is a 
white-flowered variety that equals it. The foliage resembles 
Rubra in shape, but lighter green, while the flower panicles 
are much handsomer. It is a pure white-flowering Begonia 
of much merit. 
ARGENTEA GUTTATA —It has purple-bronze leaves, oblong in 
shape, with silvery markings, and is in every way a most 
beautiful Begonia. Produces white flowers in bunches on 
ends of growth stems. Good for house culture. 
CORALLINE LUCERNE, The Wonderful New Flowering Be¬ 
gonia — This new Begonia has taken everybody who has seen 
it by storm. The color is bright coral-red, changing to a 
delicate pink. It is past the power of speech to describe it. 
A wonder. Fine plants, $1.00 per dozen; $8.00 per hundred, i 
FOLIOSA A beautiful fine foliage variety; pink flowers. 
FUCHSOIDES COCCINEA -This beautiful plant makes hand¬ 
some specimens, with its graceful branches and pendulous 
flowers of bright scarlet. Very floriferous. 
GRACILIS LUMINOSA A magnificent new specimen of the 
Semperflorens type, exceptionally sturdy and vigorous, and 
unquestionably one of the choicest bedding sorts in existence. 
Flowers large, perfect and plentiful; never out of bloom. 
Color brightest scarlet. Price, 60c per dozen; $4.00 per 100. 
MRS. TOWNSEND Here we have a grand new Begonia with 
broad metallic leaves; under side bronze-red. Flowers in 
large panicles of a beautiful pink color. A grand Begonia. 
Price, 60 cents per dozen; $4.00 per hundred. 
MARGUERITE Leaves a bronzy-green, somewhat resembling 
Metallica, but growing in more bushy form, and easier to 
handle when grown in pots. Large trusses of light rose- 
colored flowers freely produced. 
MARJORIE DAW, New Trailing Begonia This Begonia is dis¬ 
tinct from all other Begonias, for instead of growing upright 
it droops. It bears great clusters of large, shining pink flow¬ 
ers that droop from long stems, making a beautiful sight. 
For single specimen pot plants or for baskets and vases "Mar¬ 
jorie Daw" is proving one of the best plant introductions in 
years. Price, 75 cents per dozen; $5.00 per hundred. 
PICTA ROSEA —A wonderfully free-growing Begonia of ster¬ 
ling worth and great beauty. The plant is very compact in 
growth, forming a dense, well-proportioned bush with rich 
green foliage, spotted with silver. The flower is a rosy-flesh 
color, shaded with a silvery-pink and enlivened with dense 
clusters of yellow anthers. One of the most wonderful flow¬ 
ering Begonias within our knowledge. It blooms continually. 
Price, 60 cents per dozen; $4.00 per hundred. 
ROBUSTA This is one of the most peculiar Begonias grown. 
The stock, stem and under side of the leaf are Indian-red. 
The upper side of the leaf glossy olive-green. The flower is 
composed of two wide and two narrow petals, the wide ones 
being broadcast at the base and terminating in a round point, 
of a beautiful bright rose. 
SANDERSONII Bushy-growing variety; glossy deep green 
leaves; flowers in clusters of drooping, scarlet, heart-shaped' 
buds.

culture or for bedding out. Always in bloom.
