DAPHNE CNEORUM 
A popular pot plant. Forms a magnificent solid pink globe 
of most fragrant blossoms. The individual flower resembles 
Bouvardia. Can be had in flower from St. Valentine’s Day to 
the Spring holiday season, and blooms again in early Fall. 
The Fall flowering quality makes it extremely desirable for the 
garden after flowering in the home. 
Field grown plants, trimmed, well shaped and stored, suit- 
able for forcing.

POINSETTIAS 
Christmas Star. (Patented) (Madsen & Christensen) 
The popular new poinsettia with the tough, glossy, deep 
green foliage. So well liked because the foliage stays on 
down to the last leaf. The wiry stems hardly need any 
staking. 
CHRISTMAS STAR takes its name from the attractive 
star shape of the FIVE nectar glands. (The older varieties 
have only one,—which drip when the flower gets ripe.) 
The broad-petaled deep red bracts of CHRISTMAS STAR 
never get messy (the nectar glands are almost dry). 
214," plants for July and later delivery. 
$15.00 per 100, $125.00 per 1000. 
Prices on all other varieties in due season.
