CATALOGUE OF COTTAGE ROSE GARDEN, COLUMBUS, OHIO. 5* Chinese Dwarf or Otaheite Orange
Text Appearing After Image:
This we consider one of the most satisfactory plants in the catalogue, to judge from the many nattering letters which we receive annually, speaking about the great pleasure this plant has given. It has deep-green fragrant foliage, and sweet oranges, and is of decided dwarf, bashy growth. Plants only one year old, and not over ten to fifteen inches high, produce their delicious blossoms, succeeded by eatable f ruit. Nothing can be more ornamental or attractive in a collec- tion of pot plants than one of these orange trees, which get to be about one-third or one-half the size of the regular oranges. Plants are of the easiest culture, and can be kept in a cellar over Winter if no other place can be provided for them. The illustration herewith shows a plant two years old. Small plants, by mail, 1 5c ; large plants, by express, 50 c. BE SURE AND GET ONE AS A PREMIUM, and get your neighbors to join you in forming a club for same. 000000<)00(K>0<^ 4 44 CHINESE, HIBISCUS. 4 4 Price, 10 cents each; three varieties, 25 cents, except where noted. Large plants, 25 cents and 50 cents, according- to size. Single Crimson—Very large flowers, five inches in diame- Charming tropical plants, with very glossy foliage and splendid, showy flowers. They nourish under the hottest sun, produce enormous flowers in great aDundance and make noble specimens. They can be grown in tubs and kept for years. The blossoms are gorgeously colored. A very good way to make them bloom freely and to facilitate lifting in the fall, is to transplant each plant into a pot two or three times larger than the one it has grown in, then plunge the pot altogether in the ground, the soil to cover the surface one or two inches. Then in the fall the plant can be lifted with- out injury. It wid, in a waim, sunny window, bloom con- stantly. Aurantiacum Flora Plena—Deep orange colored flowers. Quite a novel and attractive color. Very full and showy. Brilliantissima—Large, single flowers, of the richest and most brilliant scarlet, flushed with orange; base of petals stained a deep crimson. Lambertli—Single; a peculiar shade of reddish-crimson; a new color. Miniatus—Semi-double flowers of brilliant vermillion-scar* let; a new color. New Single White Hibiscus, Dennisonii—Large, single flowers ; when first opening of a delicate carmine color, gradually changing to a pure white. Quite an oddity, but not quite as free blooming. Price, 20 cents each. Perennial Hibiscus, Chrysantha—Large, single flowers of a bright sulphur-yellow- with large deep brown canter. Very showy and attractive. Price, 10c. ter; brilliant crimson. One of the best and most showy of the whole family. Cooperii Tricolor—This variety is mostly grown for its variegated foliage, the young shoots having all shades of color, from pure white to deep red, and various shades of green. Flowers single crimson. Double Crimson—Deep scarlet flowers; very double. Decorus—Flowers of a beautiful, rosy-carmine color; stamens and pistils very showy. Double Yellow—Large, double, yellow flowers, with crim- son center. Gen; de Courtigis—A grand sized flower; light, single scar- let ; very showy. Grandiflora—Crimson-scarlet flowers, four to five inches in diameter. Flowers abundantly. Kermesinus—Flowers large and effective; double with large waxy petals, of rich carmine-crimson. Schizopetalus—A very peculiar and striking species. It differs from all others in the remarkable character of its pet- als, the pendulous flowers and the long tubular calyx. Its drooping flowers, with reflected orange-red and laciniated petals, render this plant quite a curiosity. Price, 10 dents (See illustration.) Sub-Violaceous—Flowers enormous, double, clear carmine, tinted with violet. Probably the largest flower in the Hibis- cus (Chinensis) family, and an unusually free bloomer. Very., desirable. Versicolor—Very large single flowers; beautifully striped crimson, rose and white.
