A NEW WEEPING PLANT 

 OF GREAT BEAUTY. 



One of the grandest basket plants grown' 

 The plant has a most graceful drooping habit' 



frows very rapidly and blooms continually 

 ummer and Winter, producing large clusters 

 of flowers of the most delicate lilac or rosy-pink, 

 loliage a beautiful dark green. A single plant on 

 August 1st, this p:\st Summer, had five hundred 

 and ninety clusters of flowers on it. The same 

 plant, December 1st, had three hundred and 

 fifty clusters of flowers on, which proves itone 

 of the most persistent bloomers, and does equal- 

 ly well Winter and Summer. I know of noth- 

 ing of recent introduction thatis aseasily grown 

 and gives so much pleasure and satisfaction as 

 this beautiful Lantsna. Price, strong plants, 

 15 cents each; two for 25 cents. 



Royal Purple. 



STROBILANTHES DYERIANUS. 



A new and very beautiful foliage plant from 

 Singapore, which will become universally pop- 

 ular on account of the brilliant and exquisite 

 coloring of its leaves, the beauty of its fljwers 

 »nd its extraordinarily easy growth and useful- 

 ness as a decorative plant. It surpasses the 

 finest Coleus in exquisite coloring of the leaves, 

 besides which the long racemes of lovely violet 

 blossoms with which the plant is covered in 

 mid-winter greatly enhance its value and beau- 

 ty. Price, 10 cents each; three tor 25 

 cents. 



The Chinese 

 Lantern Plant. 



The introducer says: "A most magnificent plant fo- the 

 garden during Summer, or for pots both Summer and Win- 

 ter. Trea'edlikea Tomato it grows and fruits freely from 

 seed the first season, yet the plants are perennial, and may 

 be wintered in the cellar or grown in pits as window plants. 

 The p. ant produces numerous large, inflated husks, much the 

 shape of Chinese lanterns, at first a beautiful green color, 

 changing to a yellowish hue, and then to brightest scarlet, 

 and as they hang suspended among the green foliage they 

 present a most novel and strikingly beautiful appearance. 

 Price, 10 cents each; three for 25 cents.
