FOUR GOOD ONES FOR THE SHADE 
Impatiens (Zanzibar Balsam) 
To the already large family of bright flowered im¬ 
patiens, another worthy member is added. It is a dwarf 
compact grower with good foliage and myriads of pure 
white flowers about the size of a fifty cent piece. 
Flowering size plants in 3-inch pots, 15c each; larger 
plants in 4-inch pots, 35c each. 
Coleus 
The bright multi-colored foliage of this gay family are 
a source of great joy and beauty to all who grow them. 
The plants I offer are all grown from cuttings, and have 
much brighter and finer colors and markings than those 
grown from seed. These interesting subjects make good 
house or patio plants, as well as being useful in the 
garden.

Larger plants in 4-inch pots, 25c each; $2.50 per doz.

tive effect. 50c to $1.25 each. 
Rhododendrons 
No plant in the entire floral kingdom is capable of mak¬ 
ing a more gorgeous display when in bloom than a well 
grown Rhododendron. The glorious shades of pink, red, 
lavender, and all their ramifications create a never-to- 
be-forgotten sight. Set the plants out in a partially 
shaded place in your garden in a mixture of half peat 
and leafmold. Keep the soil on the acid side by applying 
an ounce or two of Aluminum Sulphate, two or three 
times a year. 
Seedling plants, $1.00 to $3.50 each. 
Grafted named varieties, $4.00 to $10.00 each.

flowers against bright green foliage.

10 Plants Especially Well Adapted for Use in Hanging Baskets, 
Pots and Window Boxes 
Every year I find it necessary to grow more and more of this type of material to meet 
the ever increasing demcmd. 
1. BROWALLIA Speciosa Major 
It is with the greatest of pleasure that I call your at¬ 
tention to this wonderful plant. Early in spring the 
small plants commence to flower, and there is a con¬ 
tinuous display of ultra marine-blue flowers until late 
autumn. The general effect of a well grown basket of 
this variety, is that of a shower of sparkling stars.

pots, 25c each.

blooms profusely during summer and fall. The bell

plants in 4- and 5-inch pots, 35c to 50c each.

One of the finest, and most rare of ferns for hanging 
baskets. The fronds are long and graceful being equally 
as exquisite as a beautiful Ostrich plume. One of the 
most interesting features of the fern is that the fronds 
will be produced from the sides and bottom of the 
basket as well as out of the top, thus adding greatly to 
the beauty of the subject. 50c up.
