COMPACT pitt’. :ca PELARGONIUM. 
A new type of exceeding beauty. The plants 
are compact, dwarf and bushy, a great advance 
on the old “leggy” varieties; foliage luxuriant 
and large, while the flowers, of superior size, are 
borne in immense clusters; extraordinarily free 
bloomers; in 6 months from seed they are in good 
bloom. Color combinations and markings are 
rich and varied. Mixed Colors. (Seecut.) Pkt.35 
PENLOPETES PHOENICIA. 
A very unique and ornamental flowering 
shrub-like plant from Japan. The few seeds 
received by us for trial were sown in the open 
ground last May, and they produced plants of 
many branches, about 2 feet high, that bore at the 
axil of each leaf a saucer-shaped flower about 1 inch 
across, of glowing pomegranate red. The plants 
were gemmed from base to summit with these showy blos- 
soms from August until killed by frost. If grown in pots, we be- 
lieve it would be aneffective winter house plant. (See cut.) Pkt.20
