Two other plants resembling Echeverias, but somewhat different, of which 
I have not the names. Their leaves are very thick and covered with white 
powder. One grows 24 feet high, the other about 8 inches. Both have hand- 
some waxen coral-red flowers. 15 to 50 cts. each. 
Gasterias. 
Resembling Aloes, and of somewhat the same habit of growth. Leaves 
mostly tongue-shaped, some short, others long; all beautifully marked with 
raised white spots, and are so brilliant as to be perfectly dazzling. Four beau- 
tiful varieties, 15 to 50 cts. each. 
Haworthias. 
Dainty little aloe-like plants of pretty and interesting forms; some with 
translucent leaves that are very beautiful. Easy to grow. Five sorts, 25 cts. 
each; 5 tor $1.00. 
Kleinia. 
K. ARTICULATA—Or “Candle Plant,” with large, round, fleshy stems 
of a pretty frosted appearnce, distinctly marked with curious designs; foliage 
cut like ivy, and prettily tinted purple underneath; inconspicuous yellow 
flowers. 15 cts. each. 
Mesembrianthemums. 
From mesembria, mid-day, and anthemon, a flower; reterring to the flowers 
opening on sunny days. The leaves are variable in shape, sometimes thick 
and fleshy, sometimes round and resembling the portulaca; frequently they 
are most curiously formed. The flowers are white, blush, pink, rose, bronze- 
red, crimson, magenta, and various shades of yellow. The petals of the ower 
radiate from the center like the tentacles of the sea-anemone, and have a 
beautiful, satin-like gloss; They measure from three-quarters of an inch to 
3 inches in diameter. They are fascinating plants and interesting to col- 
lectors. They will grow in any soil, and love the hot sun and are especially 
suited to hot climates and for covering hillsides or bare places, or drooping 
over banks or for borders. Cuttings root in sand very freely. Any one can 
start them, thus securing collections very cheap. A plant in full bloom is so 
completely covered with flowers as to be perfectly dazzling. Three strong 
euttings of 5 sorts, 60 cts.; of 10, $1.00; of 15, $1.75. Plants of 5 sorts, $1.00; 
of 10, $75: of 15;:92.50-
