NAMES OF PLANTS. 



Kindly let nie know the names of the 

 enclosed coleus, also the name of the 

 flowers which I enclose, and where I can 

 buy them, and what colors they come in. 



A. W. 



I am unable to give the names of the 

 coleus. Those sent are probably seed- 

 lings. These show such a wide variation 

 in the foliage that it is almost impossi- 

 ble to determine them. No. 3 has hand- 

 some foliage and makes an excellent pot 

 plant, but is not so good for bedding 

 purposes. 



The flowers are those of Hibiscus Syri- 

 acus, rose of Sharon. There are both 

 double and single-flowering varieties. Of 

 this attractive, late flowering shrub, a 

 few of the best are: Ardens, bluish pur- 

 ple; elegantissimus, white, shaded rose; 

 Joan of Arc, double white; totus albus, 

 single white; Boule de Feu, double red; 

 carneo-plenus, double flesh; bicolor, dou- 

 ble white, red marks; violaceus, double 

 purple; variegatus, variegated foliage, 

 flowers lavender with a purple blotch at 

 base of petals. These shrubs are obtain- 

 able from almost any of the firms ad- 

 vertising in the nursery department of 

 the Eeview. C. W. 



Port Huron, Mich. — :Wm. Murdoch is 

 busy rebuilding a greenhouse and plant- 

 ing carnations.
