POINSETTIAS 
CHRISTMAS STAR (Patented) (Madsen & Christensen)—One im¬ 
portant novel characteristic of this new variety is the presence 
of five distinct nectar glands in each of the several compound 
flowers on a stem, rather than one gland as possessed by 
Poinsettias of other varieties. From this distinct decorative 
and starlike appearance it takes its name. 
Since the glands are practically dry, the lack of nectar elim¬ 
inates spotting. The bracts are less brittle than other varieties, 
making it an exceptionally good shipper. The plant is a 
vigorous grower with heavy stems which makes staking prac¬ 
tically unnecessary. 
Leaves are of the Oakleaf type, and compared to this variety 
the foliage is larger and more abundant. Christmas Star prom¬ 
ises to be THE Poinsettia of the future. 
2'/4" plants for July and later delivery $30 per 100, $250 per 1000.
