Our greenhouse department offers you a list of house plants most of which 
we can supply throughout the year. Shipping dates given for individual 
varieties may vary a few weeks, depending on growing conditions, and if no 
dates are given we can usually ship throughout the year. We exercise the 
greatest care in packing to insure against frost and breakage in transit. 
House plant orders are sometimes held up during sub-zero winter weather, 
and extreme heat of mid-summer, but never for more than a week or two. 
Unless otherwise instructed, all house plants will be 
packed with damp moss around the roots and delivered postpaid at the 
prices quoted. Because of packing problems, it is impossible for us to ship 
plants in clay pots but if you prefer them shipped in paper pots, we can 
do so if you add 10c per plant to’ your remittance to cover the extra postage 
and packing. 
WE GUARANTEE ALL POT PLANTS TO REACH YOU IN GOOD GROW- 
ING CONDITION and will replace free of charge any that do not, provided 
we are notified within ten days from date plants reach you. We can not

PAINTED LEAF BEGONIA

way as the Painted Leaf or Rex Begonias. They are rich

valuable as decorative plants for house culture. They 
make excellent plants for baskets and vases if given 
plenty of moisture and not exposed to the full rays of 
the sun. We can supply a fine assortment of varieties, 
all beautifully marked, some with broad bands and borders, some 
and speckled. Many odd combinations of colors, some

BLOOD LEAF BEGONIA 
The Blood Leaf Begonia is not a true Begonia 
but is known botanically as Irisine. It so closely 
resembles the Begonias in habit that it is often 
mistaken for one. We know of no plant that is 
easier to grow, -thriving under conditions so 
poor that most plants will die. The oval shaped 
leaves up to 2 inches long are blood red in 
color with darker blotches. They are produced 
the entire length of long drooping branches 
that hang over the edge of the pot. An excel- 
lent plant for urns, hanging baskets and «fern- 
eries. 40c each; 3 for $1.05, postpaid. 3
