134 PLANTS FOR WINDOW GARDENING. 



Grafted on a tall stem of one of the tall-growing species 

 it forms a beautiful head of pendulous sprays, and is a very 

 handsome plant. The flowers are bright yellow from a red 

 calyx, and with protruding black pistil, and from the peculiar 

 combination of rich colors, are very effective. 



The plant is now common, and may be obtained at any 

 green-house. 



Cuttings root freely on sandy loam. 



Abutilon Vers chaff eltii is a tall growing species with 

 woolly leaves and light-yellow flowers. It blooms freely 

 when very young, and is seldom out of flower. It is a 

 rapid grower and a very attractive plant. In the summer 

 it makes a fine show in the garden. As in most of the 

 species, the flowers are pendulous on long footstalks. 



Abutilon Boule de Neige is a new seedling of French 

 origin. As a decorative free blooming plant it is unsur- 

 passed, plants only a few inches high blooming freely. The 

 blossoms are large, pure, lustrous white, with bright yellow 

 pistil, the contrast of color adding greatly to the effect. Al- 

 though a new plant, it increases so readily that it is easily 

 obtainable ; superior in every respect, it is one of the greatest 

 acquisitions of the last few years.
