REX VARIETIES. 

 Rex Begonia— Countess Louise Erdody— New. 



The peculiar feature of this new variety is the curious spiral formation of the leaf, as seen 

 in the engraving. But aside from this interesting point, this variety has much to commend 

 it. Its foliage is beautifully marked and shaded with silvery-gray and coppery-rose, the veins 

 «n both sides being a yellowish-green. Price, each, 25 cts. 



BEGONIA REX LOUISE CHRETIEN. 



Although not quite new, this superb variety has actually no equal in its family, so that it 

 is still entitled to a foremost place in a list of novelties. The beautiful coloring of its foliage is 

 almost indescribable ; but when we say that it is like changeable silk in its luster, we may pos- 

 sibly be understood. Flowers large and of a delicate rose tint. Price, each, 25 cts.

CYCLAMEN PEKsicuM-GiGANTEu... Oyclamen Perslcum Giganteum. 



These charming plants are so well known that a description is wholly unnecessary. All plant lovers are perfectly familiar 

 with them and fully appreciate their general usefulness for conservatory or parlor adornment, or for supplying cut flowers, which 

 they so abundantly produce for so long a season. We wish this spring to call special attention to our stock of these plants now 

 coming into bloom. We never had, in fact we never saw anything to equal them for size, thriftiness and the truly enormous 

 quantity of buds and flowers they are producing. The accompanying cut will give a very fair idea of the appearance of one of our 

 smallest blooming plants. Large plants in bud or bloom, each, $1.00 to $2.00; small plants, also sure to bloom, each, 25 to 50 cts.
