Benson's guide to fig culture in the open ground at the North : with instructions for open ground culture at the North of Japanese persimmons and pomegranates and catalogue of rare tropical fruits and plants : bananas, water lilies, etc., and also greenhouse and bedding plants, roses, fruit trees, etc. Martin Benson (Firm); Fig; Tropical plants; Nurseries (Horticulture). MARTIN BENSON, SWANWICK, ILLINOIS. Mnw Wwic^ii BmiW' These are the most interesting of all plants for pot or greenhouse culture. Most of them are of the easiest culture, requiring no more care than ordinary greenhouse plants. They are beautiful in flowers and foliage, and when in fruit are truly magni- ficent, combining utility and beauty.

My plants are fine, true to name, and when their rarity is con- sidered, prices for them are very low. All collections of plants should have a selec- tion of these. Pot in soil composed of one-third each rotten sod, fine sand, and thoroughly rot- ten cow manure, and you will have an abundant supply of flowers, fruit and rich foliage. Seeds can be supplied of all sorts marked thus (*). Price per packet, one-half the price for a tree or plant of the same sort. Send orders early, as the supply is limited. *ACAJOU TREE. $2 each. *ALEURITES MOLUCCANA. Indian Nut. Has Palm-like;^leaves and edible fruits. $2 each. ANONAS.

Fruit resembling an inverted cone, of a rich yellowish green color ; a most interesting and delicious fruit, very sweet and rich; very productive and bears quite young. Fine plants, each. Sour Sop. {Anona Muricata.) A large green prickly fruit, six or eight inches- long,
