OXALIS, ROSEA VINCA (NEW) DELIGHT The old fashioned pot (or herbaceous) Oxalis that has now become very rare although it is one of the most superb plants ever grown. Every day in the year this wonderful plant will show a mass of exquisite, deep rosy crimson blossoms in clusters on graceful stems above a mass of most attractive foliage. No plant will give greater satisfaction than this. Its great beauty may be judged from photo shown above. Succeeds everywhere in any window. Strong plants. 50c each; 3 for $1.25 OXALIS, ORTGIESI A shrubby plant like a Geranium or Fuchsia without bulbs, in which respect it differs from other Oxalis. It grows twelve to eighteen inches in height, branching freely and loaded at all times with clusters of bright golden star-shaped flowers, which do not close at night like other Oxalis. Beautiful as the flowers are it is still a splendid plant without them, on account of its highly ornamental foliage. The leaves are three lobed, dark olive green above, and a beautiful shining metallic crim- son-purple underneath, with wine-colored stems. This makes it a truly novel plant, as well as a very beautiful one, and it is surprising to see what attention it will attract. IVo one can tell what it is, and least of all would any one suspect it was an Oxalis. Remember that this plant is perpetually in bloom. 40c each; 3 fop $1.00 IMPATIENS, OLIVERI A large-growing Impatiens, with immense blossoms, that look like an orchid in shape; and color a delicate lavender-tinted light pink. Good as a window plant, and it will bloom all the year round. Strong, handsome foliage, and a free and easy grower. Few better flower- ing plants than this. 30c each; 4 for $1.00 SMILAX Fine young plants of this superb foliage and flowering vine. It is the most beautiful of all window vines, not only in foliage, but for its delightfully sweet scented white blossoms. 30c each; 4 for $1.00 A really fine novelty. Blooms profusely all the year and is a most exquisite pot plant. Flowers size of a half-dollar beautifully colored and tinted, white and delicate pink. Flowers have a small, deep red eye or center which adds greatly to the effectiveness of the plant. Splendid for bedding also. Vinca Delight—Seed, pkt., 15c. Plants—Fine strong plants, 30c each; 3 for 75c.
