Iris Germanica (German Iris) 
The “Fleur de Lis" of France. 
No other flower has so many combinations of color, es- 
pecially of the delicate and unusual shades, and the name 
Rainbow Flower is most fitting. They are absolutely hardy,

lar as to soil; will grow »where anything will, but do better 
in well-drained location.

Justicia 
Brazilian Plume Plant 
Perhaps no other plant has attracted so much attention in 
the last two years as the Justicia, or Brazilian Plume Plant. 
The plant is a strong, rapid grower, and throws up long stems, 
on which are produced fine, plume-like pink flowers, the ends 
of each petal drooping in a most charming manner. When 
the plants are but a few months old they are literally covered 
with their beautiful blossoms. It does equally well either for 
house or outdoor culture. We have three colors, red, pink 
and yellow. 50 cents per dozen; $3.50 per hundred.

to grow. We have prepared and offer pot-grown plants, the 
kind that has the crown to the plant and the ball of earth to 
the roots, and you try to stop them from growing and see if 
you don't run into a snag. Two and one-quarter-inch pots, 75 
cents per dozen; $5.00 per hundred, 
The Wonderful Lemon Ponderosa 
A Fine Pot Plant for Florists’ Sales. 
Nothing that has ever been brought to our notice in the 
plant line has caused half the commotion that this wonderful 
Lemon has. It is a true ever-bearing variety. On a plant six 
feet high no less than eighty-nine of the ponderous Lemons 
were growing at one time. It was a beautiful sight to see. 
The tree was blooming, and at the same time had fruit in all 
stages of development, from the size of a pea up to the ripe 
fruit, showing it to be a true ever-bearer. Fruit has been 
taken from this tree weighing over four pounds. The Lemons 
have very thin rind for such large fruit. It is the juiciest of 
all Lemons, makes delicious lemonade, and for culinary pur- 
poses cannot be excelled. It is not uncommon to make twelve 
lemon pies from one Lemon. We have the entire stock of this 
ponderous Lemon, and guarantee the trees to produce the same 
large fruit. No budding or grafting necessary. Ponderosa 
Lemon is sure to become popular when it is known. It fruits 
when quite small, and makes a lovely house plant. Evérybody 
can grow his own lemons; it will fruit freely each year.

PONDEROSA LEMON 
Harry Adams, landscape gardener for the Sunset at San 
Antonio, has presented Colonel T. J. Anderson a monster Pon- 
deroca Lemon from the Sunset tropical botanical gardens at 
the depot in that city. There were thirty-eight lemons on 
this tree, and the one sent is one of the largest, weighing 
about three pounds. It is estimated that this single lemon 
wil make two gallons of good lemonade or two barrels of 
the circus variety, or material for two dozen lemon pies, or 
sour enough to impart flavor to one hundred and fifty sour 
toddies, or lemon peel sufficient to decorate two hundred cock- 
tails. Colonel Anderson sent the monster Lemon to the of- 
fice of Traffic Manager C. K. Dunlap.
