NEW COLEUS, “ Golden Bedder.”’ 
This great acquisition fills a long-felt want among bedding 
plants. It gives us at last a pure yellow Coleus that will not 
burn out or fail under ordinarily favorableconditions. Tried 
side by side with Vershaffelti last summer it stood as well as 
that variety. while Oriole and other yellow kinds were almost 
burnt up. It is short-jointed and of compact style of growth. 
and requires but little ‘‘ pinching’ back to keep in shape in 
ribbon lines. When the great value of this variety becomes 
known the annua! demand for it will be equal to that for 
Vershaffelti.
