ABUTILONS. 



There lias been a very great improvement in this class 

 of plants in a short time. Six years ago two or three shades 

 of crimson and maroon were about the only colors to he 

 found. Now we have white, pink, crimson, maroon, and 

 golden yellow in endless variety. Our set contains the 

 best and most distinct representatives of all these colors. 

 Arthur Belsnam. Large dark crimson flowers. 

 Aug. Kossold. Variegated foliage, yellow and green. 

 John Hopkins. Bright canary yellow. 

 Rosaeflora. Beautiful rose color. 

 Kobt, George. Salmon, veined crimson. 

 Snowstorm. Finest white. 



50 cts. each ; $4.50 per doz.; set of 6 for $2.50. 



ACALYPHA MUSAICA. 

 The several varieties of Acalyphas are now being exten- 

 sively used for bedding purposes, their tropical richness 

 of color contrasting well with other ornamental-leaved 

 plants, or the dark green of the lawn. This sort is proba- 

 bly the best. Its leaves are variegated rose, white, pink, 

 bronze, and green. v

ACALYPHA MARGINATA.

 (distinctly banded with a narrow margin of pink and white

 the foregoing are also valuable house plants.

 bon planting."

ALYSSUM (SWEET), VARIEGATED. 



This is one of our most useful variegated plants. The 

 white of the foliage predominates over the green, making 

 the plant in the summer season one of the very best we 

 have for massing or in ribbon lines, in contrast with dark 

 foliage. It is also excellent for baskets, and as it blooms 

 freely in winter, its sweet scented white flowers are much 

 used for bouquets.
