ABUTILON MESOPOTAMICUai, " SYK A. VE2ILLAEIUH." 



A variety of trailing habit, bearing pendent flowers in great profusion; the deep 

 red calyx contrasts finely with the golden petals. From its habit of growth it is of 

 little use as a bedding plant; but for rockwork, vases, or covering trellis-work, it is 

 inwtlaable; an excellent basket plant. 



Price, 30 cents each ; $3 per dozen. 



ABUTILON THOMISONII. 



One of the finest acquisitions that has been mr.de to onr ornamental leaved plants 

 for some time, of an erect, graceful habit ; the leaves are mottled or marked with bright, 

 golden yellow, which retain their variegation during the hottest weather. (Cut of leaf 

 half natural size.) 



Price, 30 cents each ; $3 per dozen. 



ABUTILON SANTANA. 

 A new species, with flowers of large size, of dark, brownish crimson, distinct and 

 beautiful; darkest sort in cultivation. 



Price, 50 cents each ; §4.50 per dozen. 



ABUTILON SANTANA ALBA. 

 Same as the above, with pure white flowers. 



Price, 50 cents each; $4.50 per dozen ; four distinct varieties, $1.50. 



ACHYRANTHES AUREUS RETICULATUS. 



A "sport" from A Verschaffeltii, which it resembles in every respect save in the leaf 

 marking, which instead of the dark crimson of Verschaffeltii, is light green marked with 

 a network of yellow, though occasionally a part of a leaf will retain the crimson shade 

 of its origin. Well adapted for hanging baskets or vases, or as a pot plant for green- 

 house decoration, it is very desirable. 



Price, 25 cents each ; $2.25 per dozen.
