“Humming' Bird Plower” 
Your friends will vote this one of the most interesting 
and ornamental plants in your garden, and it in¬ 
variably attracts attention whenever seen. Large ever¬ 
green shrub with striking pinnate foliage and racemes 
of large green and gold, pea-shaped flowers which give 
the effect of canary birds hanging on the branches. 
One of the most novel and striking of all table decora¬ 
tions, when cut. Full sun, good soil and moisture. Cut 
back after blooming, usually in January. Very highly 
recommended. 75c and $1.75 to $2.50.

sun, any soil. 60c and $1.75.
