OTAHEITE ORANGE—A grand pot plant, and one of great beauty and novelty. It is a dwarf Orange, which grows, blooms, and fruits freely in pots, even when only a foot or two high. The fruit is about one-half the size of ordinary oranges, and very sweet and delicious. The blossoms are produced in great abundance, delicate and beautiful in color, and rich in delicious perfume. As a pot plant this lovely dwarf Orange is one of the most novel and beautiful that can be grown. It blooms most freely during winter, though it is likely to bloom at any and all times of the year. With one or two pots of it any one can raise an abundance of the far famed, delicate and fragrant orange blossoms. Each 50c.
PALMS—Now the most fashionable decorative house and window plants. They require but little care, no more than a Geranium, beyond sponging the leaves once a week. Customers are advised to buy the larger plants, the effect is immediate, and if placed in a handsome jardiniere no more beautiful or ornamental plants can be found. In season for shipping all the year around. An elegant present for a plant-loving friend. We have a nice assortment. Small plants 50c each. Larger, $3.00 to $5.00 each.
FERNS—These beautiful plants are now very generally cultivated; their great diversity and gracefulness of foliage make them much valued as plants for vases, baskets or rock work, or as specimens for parlor or conservatory. 15 to 50 cents.
Sword Fern—One of the most popular sorts. Splendid for pots, vases or hanging baskets, but especially desirable grown in the wire hanging baskets, in which they thrive well, and make wonderfully ornamental plants. See illustration on page C3 [63]. 25c.
FEVERFEW, Double White—Popular free blooming plant; per doz. 75c, each 10c.
WATER HYACINTH—One of the most remarkably curious and beautiful plants we have ever grown. Instead of growing in soil it floats in the water, which it is enabled to do by means of its curiously inflated leaf stalks, which resembe [resemble] bladders, or balloons, filled with air. A large mass of feathery blue roots grow downward, their ends entering the soil. It forms a lovely rosette of its curious, shining green leaves, and throws up spikes of the most exquisite flowers imaginable, resembling, in form, a spike of Hyacinth bloom, but as beautiful as many of the choicest and most costly Orchids. Each flower is as large, or larger than a silver dollar; color, a beautiful, soft, lilac-rose, sparkling as if covered with diamond dust. The upper petal, which is the largest, has a large metallic blue blotch and in the center of that a small, deep, golden yellow spot. Can be grown in the open air in summer and in the window in winter, in anything which will hold water. The most beautiful effect is produced by using a glass vessel of some sort, with shells and white sand so arranged in the bottom as to conceal a small amount of soil. Each, 25c.
SEDUM, Albida—This variety of Sedum deserves to be better known. It is of easy culture, being perfectly hardy, and forms a solid mass of green, which is covered with white flowers in the spring, and as it is generally in bloom by Decoration Day, it is very desirable for cemetary [cemetery] planting. 10c each, $1.00 per doz.
STEVIA, Serrata—A splendid winter-blooming plant, with very fine white flowers; produced in large clusters. 10c.
SAXAFRAGA, Sarmentosa—The well known, much used old basket plant, with long, strawberry-like runners. 10c each.
SALVIA, Splendens—These rich and abundant-flowering plants are indispensable in the autumnal garden. Bright scarlet. 10c.
PELARGONIUMS—These are more commonly known as Lady Washington or Pansy Geraniums. The flowers are large, with deep blotches on the upper petals, and bright spots on the lower; they are very beautiful and ornamental either as pot plants or in the garden. We have a very large assortment of these at 20c each.
PANSY PELARGONIUM—This variety, though not new, is one of great merit. The flowers are of medium size, and have a white throat. Each petal is shaded toward the center with a rich lavender pink and a dark maroon blotch in the center. Each, 25c.
FARFUGIUM, Grand—Leopard Plant. 20c
PRIMULAS—(Chinese Primrose)—A class of plants of great value for the parlor or greenhouse; constantly in bloom. We offer this season a beautiful strain of the single varieties that will surely please. Each, 25c.
Double White—Each, 50c.
