Si!ver=Edged AbutiSon 



Souvenir De Bonn. 



A most distinct and striking nov- 

 elty and the most wonderfully var- 

 iegated Abutilon yet introduced. 

 The foliage is large and of a deep 

 green color, not mottled and mar- 

 bled as in all other forms of varie- 

 gated Abutilons, but each leaf is 

 edged with a broad white margin, 

 not unlike the silver-edged geran- 

 iums. The plant is of strong, robust 

 growth and forms beautiful speci- 

 mens in a very short time. We 

 know of no variegated plant intro- 

 duced within recent years which has 

 pleased us so much as this silver- 

 edged Abutilon. (New.) Each, 35c.
