BOUVARDIA ELEGANS. 



Originated in 1868. A sport from B. Hogarth, which it resembles in color, only the 

 shade is brighter and clearer, and may be described as a light scarlet carmine, but its ex- 

 traordinary novelty and merit consists in its immense size of flower and truss, which far 

 exceeds that of any other known variety, many of the trusses measuring from four to five 

 inches in diameter. One of the most valuable of our winter-flowering plants. 

 Large strong roots, 30 cents each ; $3 per dozen. 



BOUVARBSAS— in Variety. 



These are now among the most important plants cultivated for winter flowers, owing

 and continuing until frost.

BRYOPHYLLUM CALYCINUM. 



A species of house leek, growing very rapidly ; the leaves have the peculiarity, if placed

 This singular property of itself makes it a plant of much interest.
