Echeveria Secunda Glauca. 



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 plant- 

 ed in a dry situation, growing where most 

 other plants would fail. ( See cut. )

EP1PHYLLUM TRUNCATUWI. (Lofoster-leavedCactus) 



A very useful winter-flowering plant ; flowers in the different varieties, shading from pur- 

 plish crimson to scarlet. Six sorts. 

 Price for large plants, 60 cents each; 6 varieties, $3.00. Small, 30 cents each; 6 varieties, $1.50. 



ERIANTHUS RAVENNA. 



This ornamental grass when in full bloom attains a height of from nine to twelve feet, occa- 

 sionally 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 desirable plant for the decoration of lawns. Seeds sown in our green- 

 houses last March produced plants which threw up flower-stems four feet in height by October- 

 Price, 30 cents each; $3.00 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. 



Igneum, Dark velvety foliage, netted with bright yellow, flowers red. 

 Pulchellum. Flowers blue, leaves splashed with silvery white. 

 Price, 30 cents each; $3.00 per dozen. 



ERANTHEMUM ANDERSONII. 



This charming plant is a native of India, and is not surpassed by any other plant in the beauty 

 of its flowers, resembling some of the handsomest Orchids. The spikes of flowers are borne on 

 Quite small plants. The two upper and lateral lobes are pure white, while the Orchid-like lip or 

 lower segment is thickly dotted with crimson. 



Price, 30 cents each; $3.00 per dozen. 



ERYTHEMA CRISTA CALL! (Coral Tree.) 



A half-hardy shrub, growing about five feet in height, with neat cut foliage, the stems 

 terminated with spikes of rich scarlet, pea-shaped flowers. Grqws freely if planted in a warm 

 situation; should be treated the same as Dahlias. 



Price, 50 cents each; $4.50 per dozen. 



EUCALYPTUS GLOBULUS. (Blue Gum Tree.) 



" The Fever 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 for a moment 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 tropical planting. 



Price, 50 cents each; $4.50 per dozen. 



EUPATORIUM TRiSTE, 



This we before catalogued under the name of " Hebeclinum Macrophyllum," under which 

 name we received it, but find that it is properly "Eupatorium Triste." It is a free, vigorous 

 growing plant, bearing large trusses of white flowers during January and February, filling in the 

 gap of this class of flowers which is left by most of the others blooming either too early or too 

 late. It will be valued as an addition to our winter-blooming plants. 



Price, 30 cents each; $3.00 per dozen.
