ORCHIDS AND THEIR CULTIVATION

Following the keen interest evinced in our personal instruc-
tion classes on Orchid Culture and to fulfill the demand ad-
vanced by numerous interested persons unable to attend be-
cause of distance, we are instituting a correspondence course
in this subject. The entire series of ten lessons will be con-
ducted by Cyril Warren, who has had forty years experience
in the collection, growing and merchandising of orchid plants
and their flowers, at the nominal cost of $4.50 for 10 lessons.

This course enables both the amateur with no experience
and the man with some knowledge of orchids to fulfill his
desire to grow these floral aristocrats around which has been
drawn a veil of mystery.

GERANIUMS

There is no other plant that requires less maintenance care,
less fertilizer and less water than the Geranium. There is
absolutely no other plant which will glorify your garden with
beautiful flowers, ranging in color from the purest white to
the deepest purple shades for a longer period of continued
bloom than the Geranium. In San Francisco we know of in-
stances where the old favorite, Paul Crampel, has been growing
for upwards of twenty years. With one pruning a year to
remove the old dead wood and hard growths, it has always
given prolifically of its great scarlet heads of flowers. Never
has it been affected by the heavy frosts which periodically
touch the vicinity.

Prices—Well Rooted, Flowering Size, 25c Each.

FIBEROUS ROOTED BEGONIAS. Each 25c.
Bertha von Lothengrin, Margaritea, Haageana, Multiflora
rosea: also trailing variety, B. glaucaphylla splendens.

FUCHSIAS

Fuchsias love the shade and moisture, thus are suitable for
shady locations, such as the north side of buildings, under
trees, etc. They grow rapidly and blossom from early spring
until late autumn. They may be grown as individual speci-
mens trained as standards, pyramids, suspended in baskets or
espaliered on walls.

Fuchsias grow with great rapidity and with a minimum of
care become beautifully effective additions to any garden.
Because they afe heavy feeders, we advise a rich soil with

applications of plant food from time to time._ If the soil is
poor, we suggest spading in and mulching with well-rotted
cow manure. They will not stand an outside temperature of
less than 20 degrees F.

Prices—Well Rooted, Flowering Size, 25c Each.
Shipping and Substitutions—See General Information.

numerous to list. For older types consult our previous list.
