LiIy-of-tl)e-Valley Plarjt. A beautiful new plant of a trailing or creeping habit, being best adapted for a hanging-pot or basket. It has beautiful heart-shaped leaves and branches freely, growing in most beautiful symmetrical form. It is in bloom all the time, the pendulous blossoms appearing at the axils of the leaves and are bell-shaped, pure white, and about the size, form and color of Lily-of-the-Yallev. As a specimen Pot or basket flower to be suspended in the window it is the flnest thing of the sort we have ever seen. Grows very rapidlv and makes a lovely plant in a short time. 15c. each; 5for50c. these vines in 10 to 12 inch pots, in conservatories, windows or on verandas. With 4 to 6 feet of growth several bunches of fine fruit, some weighing over a pound, will be produced. The sight of the small vines growing in pots has been one of the wonders to be seen at our place the past year. Grow the vine outdoors (pots plunged) the first summer. Winter them in cellar, pit or cold shed, Any time after February they may be placed in light and warmth for growth which will start at once. Flowers and fruit will speedily follow. These great bunches of delicious fruit will ripen in May if plants are started end of February. They are one of the easiest and simplest things to manage properly, and to bring into fruit, as a window or veranda plant, and certainly there is nothing more attractive, novel, or satisfactory to grow. The enormous bunches of large berries are extremely handsome and perfectly delicious. The ideal thing to grow in large quantitv in greenhouses or conservatories. Fine vines, 40c. each; 3 (all different kinds) for $1.00. ^rde \v\s\) ^\)mi)Vocl^. We are glad to be able to offer the true Shamrock, as so many spurious plants have been called Shamrock and sold as such. This stock is genuine, and thoroughly acclimated, having been grown here several years. A very beautiful pot plant with dark chocolate and green foliage. Each stem with 4 or 5 leaves like 4-leaf clover. A lovely foliage plant that attracts great attention. 25c. each: 3 for 60c. We will take the plants back and return money if purchaser after seeing it is not satisfied it is the true Shamrock.
