ECHEVERIA SECUNDA GLATJCA. 



ECHEVERIA. 



A genus of succulent plants, both novel and interesting. 

 They are useful either as pot plants for decorative purposes, or 

 for bedding out in summer. Being natives of arid countries, 

 they thrive best if planted in a dry situation, growing where 

 most other plants would fail. (See Cut.)

 varieties, shading from purplish crimson to scarlet. Six sorts. 

 For large plants, 60 cents each ; varieties, $3.00. Small, 30 cents 

 each; G varieties, $1.50. 



ERIANTHUS RAVENNiE 



("American Pampas.") 



This ornamental grass, when in full bloom, attains a height of 

 from nine to twelve feet, occasionally having over 50 flower 

 spikes on one plant, in two or three seasons, from seed. It re- 

 sembles the Pampas Grass, but blooms much more abundantly, 

 and, with the advantage of being hardy, will prove a most de- 

 sirable plant for the decoration of lawns. Seeds sown in our 

 greenhouses last March produced plants which threw up 

 flower-stems four feet in height by October. We have two 

 plants in our grounds — 10 years old — now four feet in diameter; 

 the flower spikes grow 10 feet high, and are admired by all who 

 see them. 



25 cents each; $2.25 per dozen. 



ERANTHEMUM. 



The species of this genus are very pretty; some are cultivated 

 for their foliage, and others for the beauty of their flowers, for 

 which they are remarkable. 

 E. Pulchellum. Flowers blue, leaves splashed with silvery 



white 

 E. Andersonii. Flowers white, dotted crimson, Orchid-like, 

 30 cents each; $3.00 per dozen. 

 (For new sorts see "New and Rare Plants.") 



ERYTHRINA CRISTA GALLI, (Coral Tree.) 



A half-hardy shrub, growing about 4 feet in height, with neat 

 cut foliage, the stems terminated with spikes of rich scarlet, 

 pea-shaped flowers. Grows freely if planted in a warm situ a- 

 ation; should be treated the same as Dahlias. 



1st size, 50 cents each; $4.50 per dozen.

EUCALYPTUS GLOBULUS, (Blue Gum Tree.) 



"The Fevee and Ague Plant." 

 We have grown a few plants of this merely to show to those 

 who are curious in the matter what it is like, without believing 

 in its fever and ague properties. It grows to a large tree, and 

 is not hardy in northern latitudes. It is, however, rather a. 

 pretty tree, and would form an object of interest in sub-tropi- 

 cal planting. 



30 cents each; $3.00 per dozen. 



EUPATORIUM. 



White, winter-flowering plants, the flowers of which are. 

 largely used in making up wreaths, crosses, and baskets of cut 

 flowers. They bloom very freely, doing best when planted out, 

 becoming pot-bound soon. 



Elegans. White; blooming from January to February. 

 Riparium. White, large truss; blooming from February to 



March.'

 ruary.

 the centre of the leaf. An excellent house-plant for winter, 

 growing well in the shade; excellent for vases or baskets.

EUPHORBIA SPLENDENS. 



A eontinuous-bloomiog variety, densely covered on the stems 

 with spines an inch in length, giving it a curious appearance; 

 bright scarlet flowers, with a yellow centre; of great value for 

 bouquets. 



30 cents each; $3.00 per dozen. Larger plants, 50 cents each; 

 extra specimens, $5.00 each.

 nium.)
