flEW VfltpGRTED TtyUMflG FUGflSIR. 



(fuchsia procumbens variegata.) 



This is a beautiful addition to our list of trailing plants. The illustra- __ 



tion is, of course, greatly reduced from the natural size, but is large = |||SlE^ 



enough to give an idea of its habit of growth, and its exceed- ^f*~^7^ ^m^ ~ 



in sly graceful effect. The foliage and flowers are about four 

 times as large as shown in the cut, so that the individual effect 

 of leaves and flowers as seen on the plant itself is not what it 

 should be. The leaves are prettily and irregularly variegated 

 with creamy white and blush pink on a light green ground, and 

 this variegation extends also to the flowers, the corollas of 

 which are purple naturally. It is of very easy growth, 

 easier in fact than the commonest Fuchsia, so every one can 

 grow it. Grown in a hanging basket, the edge of a vase or 

 window box, it will do splendidly and without doubt give 

 great satisfaction, or it can be grown singly in pots like the 

 ordinary Fuchsia. (See cut.) 



Price, 25c. each ; 5 for SI. 00 ; 12 for $2.00. 

 For other varieties of Fuchsias, see page 138.

New Variegateb English Ivy. 



The above sketch shows a small spray of this very rare and beautiful! 

 Ivy. The foliage is very prettily marked with pure white on a dark 

 green ground ; in some instances we have seen pure white leaves, but. 

 never one green one ; it is, we think, the most reliable variegated plant 

 we know. Its great value is as a pot plant in the window or for trailing- 

 from the edges of boxes or baskets. (See cut.) 



Price, 1st size, 50c. each, $4.50 per dozen ; 2d size, 25c. each, $2.25 per- 

 dozen. All good strong plants.

Variegated cmmbiisig nasturtium. 



There is no plant with which we are acquainted, so prettily and distinctly 

 marked as this, or one which holds its variegation so well under all condi- 

 tions. The foliage is green, irregularly marked with soft creamy white, the 

 flowers are a bright orange scarlet, and the contrast between them is very 

 striking. 25c. each, $2.25 per doz. 



PELLIONIA P&LCHRA. 



A very pretty trailing plant of recent introduction. The leaves and stems 

 are fleshy and velvety looking on the surface. The upper surface of the 

 leaves is a dark violet color, almost black, relieved by a soft wine color and 

 intersected throughout by small and large veins of silvery color ; this makes 

 a combination very rare, indeed, and charming as it is rare. The under 

 surface of the leaves is a lighter shade of claret, and as the habit of the plant 

 is such that the under surface of the leaves is sometimes exposed to view 

 its great beauty is enhanced. This plant is of very free-growing habit and 

 delights in heat, moisture and a light soil. (See cut.) 



Price, 25c. each ; 5 for $1.00 ; 12 for $2.00.
