NEW OR RARE PLANTS.

CLEMATIS COCCINEA. 



Bright scarlet has been a color hitherto unknown in Clema- 

 tis, but in this sort we have that color, and it will, no doubt, 

 prove of much interest and value. It is a hardy herbaceous 

 climber, growing 8 feet high. 



$1.00 each' ; $9.00 per dozen. 



CLITTORIA CERULEA. 



A very scarce climbing plant, growing 6 to 10 feet in height, 

 having dense clusters of deep mazarine blue pea-shaped flowers, 

 which are borne in profusion from October to March. Though 

 an old plant, it is exceedingly scarce. The rarity of blue 

 flowers during the winter months makes it most valuable, 

 either for parlor or greenhouse. 



50 cents each ; $4.50 per dozen, 



COCULUS CAROLINUS. 



A strong-growing climbing plant, often ten feet in length, 

 producing racemes of the most vivid scarlet berries, which 

 hang on the vine all winter. It proves hardy everywhere, 

 where the thermometer does not fall 20 degrees above zero. It 

 luxuriates in the warmer Southern States, and is probably one of 

 the most valuable climbing plants in cultivation, when we con- 

 sider the long period it holds its festoons of coral-like fruit. 

 50 cents each ; $4.50 per dozen, 



Tvpe of New Coleus. 



A NEW CLASS OF COLEUS. (See Cut.) 



This beautiful family of foliage plants has been steadily in- 

 creasing the beauty and diversity of its varieties — ever since 

 its introduction ; but we have never had such a decided " break" 

 in them as occurred in 1879. The varieties below-named are 

 hybrids of Coleus Multicolor and Chameleon, and, besides show- 



ing all the brilliant colors of those fine sorts, seem to have 

 monopolised all the shades of color known in the Coleus. 

 Burning Bash. Tinted carmine, orange and crimson. 

 Cloth of Gold. Golden yellow, compact grower. 

 Firefly. Yellow, lilac, green and crimson, mottled. 

 Glory of Autumn. Deep crimson bronze, margined gold. 

 Lord Oxford. Carmine, margined deep green. 

 M eteor. Carmine ground, margined gold. 

 Mrs. "\Vm. Barr. Centre rose color, margined green and 



brown. 

 Mrs. Sinister. Yellow; centre light rose. 

 Spotted Gem, Yellow ground, regularly blotched crimson, 



green and orange. (See Cut.)

 Fascination — that is, the constituting colors are pink, carmine,

 give a description that would bring the distinctive character of
