 scarlet flowers in the style of La Purite. 



30 cents each; $3.00 per dozen. 



ERANTHEMUM SANGTJINEA. 



A yet scarce species; foliage thick and leathery, of a deep 

 crimson-maroon. Leaves glossy — looking as if varnished — 

 making a very attractive plant for decorative purposes. 

 $1.00 each; $9.00 per dozen. 



ERANTHEMUM TRICOLOR. 



Like the Croton, Dracasna, etc., this plant requires a warm 



temperature to bring out its beautiful variegations, which run 



through all the shades of pink, purple and maroon. It has 



proved most valuable for massing in open ground. 



50 cents each; $4.50 per dozec 



ETJLALIA JAPONICA ZEBRINA. 



Unlike everything else, as will be seen by the engraving, the 

 striping or marking is across the leaf, instead of longitudinally. 

 It grows from four to six feet in height, forming a most striking 

 and graceful plant, resembling nothing else that we know 

 of in cultivation. The expanded flower spike resembles the 

 ostrich plume, and will last for years. Plant entirely hardy. 

 1st size, $2.00 each. 2d size, $1.00 each.
