The Wonderful Japanese Kudzu Vine 
This is the most rapid-growing vine that anyone knows of. 
By measurement it has been known to grow twenty feet in a 
week. The foliage is large and tropical. It is entirely hardy. 
Everyone has trouble in getting nursery grown plants of this 
to grow. We have prepared and offer pot-grown plants, the 
kind that has the crown to the plant and the ball of earth to 
the roots, and you try to stop them from growing and see if 
you don't run into a snag. Two and one-quarter inch pots, 75 
cents per dozen; $5.00 oer hundred. 
Justicia 
Brazilian Plume Plant 
Perhaps no other plant has attracted so much attention in 
the last two years as the Justicia, or Brazilian Tlume Plant. 
The plant is a strong rapid grower, and throws up long stems, 
on which are produced fine, plume-like pink flowers, the ends 
of each petal drooping in a most charming manner. When the 
plants are but a few months old they are literally covered 
with their beautiful blossoms. It does equally well eitther for 
house or outdoor culture. We have three colors, red, pink and 
yellow. 50 cents per dozen; $3.50 per hundred. 
The Wonderful Lemon Ponderosa 
A Fine Pot Plant for Florists’ Sales 
Nothing that has ever been brought to our notice in the plant line has caused half the commotion that this wonderful 
Lemon has. It is the true ever-bearing variety. On a plant six feet high no less than eighty-nine of the ponderous Lemons 
were growing at one time. It was a beautiful sight to see. The tree was blooming, and at the same time had fruit in all 
stages of development, from the size 
of a pea up to the ripe fruit, showing 
it to be a true ever-bearer. Fruit 
has been taken from this tree weigh¬ 
ing over four pounds. The Lemons 
have very thin rind for such large 
fruit. It is the juiciest of all Lemons, 
makes delicious lemonade, and for 
culinary purposes cannot be ex¬ 
celled. It is not uncommon to make 
twelve lemon pies from one Lemon. 
We have the entire stock of this 
ponderous Lemon, and guarantee the 
trees to produce the same large 
fruit. No budding or grafting neces¬ 
sary. Ponderosa Lemon is sure to 
become popular when it is known. It 
fruits when quite small, and makes 
a lovely house plant. Everybody can 
grow his own Lemons; it will fruit 
freely each year.

9, 1906.) 
Ponderosa Lemon 
Harry Adams, landscape gardener 
for the Sunset at San Antonio, has 
presented Colonel T. J. Anderson a 
monster Ponderosa Lemon from the 
Sunset tropical botanical gardens at 
the depot in that city. There were 
thirty-eight lemons on this tree, and 
the one sent is one of the largest, 
weighing about three pounds. It is 
estimated that this single lemon will 
make two gallons of good lemonade, 
or two barrels of the circus variety, 
or material for two dozen lemon pies, 
or sour enough to impart flavor to 
one hundred and fifty sour toddies, 
or lemon peel sufficient to decorate 
two hundred cocktails. Colonel An¬ 
derson sent the monster Lemon to 
the office of Traffic Manager C. K. 
Dunlap. 
Two and one-quarter inch pots, 
60 cents per dozen; $4.00 per hun¬ 
dred. Four-inch pots, twelve to 
eighteen inches, 40 cents each; $4.00 
per dozen.
