NEW JAPANESE MAPLE-LEAVED ABCTILON. 



Hew Japanese He-leaven ntuoa. 



"Socn/enip de Bonn." 



(The illustration was made from a plant in our grounds.) 



Of all the soft- wooded foliage plants introduced in recent years, 

 none can equal this in distinctness and usefulness. It is a strong 

 rival to a Japanese maple ; in fact, at first glance, it might be mis- 

 taken for one. For massing in groups or in long borders, for single 

 specimens, either in the garden or greenhouse, for any and all 

 decorative purposes, it cannot be surpassed. It is a most striking 

 decorative foliage plant, with beautifully variegated leaves of good 

 size, regularly and evenly marked with white and green. Amid 

 these leaves the gracefully drooping, orange-colored flowers are 

 produced in great abundance, forming a clear and brilliant con- 

 trast. In habit of growth this Abutilon is tree-like — strong and 

 upright, growing three to four feet in one season, but quite graceful. 

 For summer bedding and greenhouse decoration in winter it is 

 equally valuable. We have propagated this largely, as there must 

 be an extensive demand for it, and so that it may be within the 

 reach of all we offer it very low. (See cut.) Price, 30c. each, $3.00 

 per doz.
