EXHIBITION 
Usually begins to flower at Easter time 
and will continue to do so intermittently 
for several months. The pink and white 
flowers are extremely large, often 6 to 10 
inches in length and diameter of the 
widely spread frilled petals, and some 
are quite fragrant. They are one of the 
easiest of all cacti to grow, and stand 
neglect and need no special care. (406 
each) (3 for $1.00) prepaid. 
French Hydrangeas are especially adapted for pot 
or tub plants for indoors, porch, lawn or garden deco- 
ration. In some soils the pink flowered varieties turn 
blue, and this color can be secured artificially by mix- 
ing one-half pound of broken alum with each one-half 
bushel of soil. The following varieties produce very 
large flowers, are easily grown: 
HAMBURG. Carmine. 
MERVIELLE. Beautiful deep pink. 
NICO BLUE. Deep blue. 
REGULA. Best pure white. 
PRICES: (75e each) (2 for $1.35) prepaid.

The Exhibition or late flowering Chrysan-

ery or in small pots indoors, where it blooms the greater 
portion of the entire year.

a pea, open into well formed, double rose-pink flowers
