THE CHOICEST WINTER-BLOOMING PLANTS.
31
Baby primrose.
One of the daintiest new plants that has
been introduced in years. Our illustration
shows how freely it bears its long-stemmed
flowers of delicate rose. It is valuable from
every standpoint. The flowers remain
fresh for two weeks after cutting. It
blooms throughout the entire year, pro-
ducing succession after succession of
flowers. It will grow in almost any situa-
tion, hot or cold. Its flowers have become
exceedingly popular among the fashionable
set in New York and Philadelphia. As
yet very scarce. 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50
cts.; 7 for $1.
Catla Lilies.

Ease of culture, freedom of bloom and
beauty of flower have made these Lilies
almost indispensable. They are good at
all seasons of the year.
LITTLE GEM. — Is indeed a pigmy, scarcely
ever growing more than twelve inches high, yet it
produces its snowy-white flowers with the greatest
freedom ; it is not an unusual sight to see ten to
twelve flowers on a well-established plant. Try it.
15 cts. each ; 2 for 25 cts.; 9 for $1.
SPOTTED CALL A. — Leaves dark, rich green,
exquisitely dotted with white marks. Ornamental
even when not in flower. Beautiful white flowers,
with deep black throat. 15 cts. each ; 2 for 25 cts.;
9 for $1.
LILY OF THE NILE.— The old favorite
White Calla. Too well known for description.
Grand white flowers — chaste and beautiful. We
offer large bulbs. 15 cts. each ; 2 for 25 cts.;
9 for#i.
THE TRUE BLACK CALLA .Aru?n Sanc-
tum). — Well known as one of the most magnificent
and stately plants. A native of the Holy Land.
Flowers sweet-scented, very large, often measuring
a foot in length and five to eight inches wide. In-
side of flower purplish black, outside pleasing
green. The centre spadix rises from the flowers to
a height of ten to twelve inches and is deep black.
We imported our stock direct from Palestine. Sure
to grow and bloom. First size, 15 cts. each ; 2 for
25 cts.; 9 for $1. Second size, large bulbs, 20 cts.
each ; 3 for 50 cts.
One each of the 4 Calla Lilies for 50 cts.
Cbe 6emiine Smyrna fig.
For many years we have had this plant in our
collection, it having been imported from the Far
East. We offer it now, in limited quantities —
strong plants that are ready to go right ahead and
make strong, bearing trees. Splendid as a pot or
tub plant, for growing indoors during the Winter.
It will produce three crops in a season. The fruit
is delicious beyond description, being large and
sweet, and almost seedless ; especially delicious
when eaten fresh from the tree.
Strong plants, 50 cts. each, postpaid by Mail;
larger plants, by Express only, SI each.
fancy-leaved Caladiums*
Nothing can equal these in brilliancy of foliage ;
to say there are over 400 combinations of colors
is sufficient. The splendid large leaves are beauti-
fully spotted, margined and variegated with every imaginable color except blue. They are best suited for pot culture in
house, conservatory or shaded situation. We have one of the finest and largest stocks in the country, which includes all the
best named kinds. 25 cts. each ; 3 for 60 cts.; 5 for $1.
