(AZALEA INDICAX 



CHINESE AZALEAS 



No plant has increased in popularitj' dining recent years -with such amazing 

 rapidity as the Chinese Azalea. A few years ago the annual importation of these 

 from Belgiu n and Holland into the United States would hardly exceed twenty-live 

 thousand ; to-day it probably reaches two hundred and fifty thousand. At Easter 

 they are seen in every church and in the windows of our finest residences through- 

 out the country. Keep outdoors in a shady place in summer.

ACALYPHA SANDERII ^k^^F 



Recent experience has proven that this is remarkably well fitted as a bedding 

 plant. It grows easily in the open ground, and blooms luxuriantly. 



For all purposes of ornament and decoration, this large crimson-scarlet-flowered 

 Acalypha amply fulfills every requirement. For the plant houses, conservatories 

 or rooms— and under all and every condition where a startling and beautiful effect 

 is needed— nothing can equal it. Its easy culture, freedom of growth and perpetual 

 flowering characters are indispensable recommendations. 



It can be grown on single stems, as bushes, as standards, or trained to almost 

 any shape. For table decoration and for cutting, each long, brilliant, scarlet- 

 crimson inflorescence will prove indispensable; their highly ornamental effect 

 cannot be overestimated. (See cut.) Price, 25c. each, $2.25 per doz. 



SAVITZII. 



This unique variety is equally at home in pots in 

 the conservatory, greenhouse or sunny window, or 

 planted out iu the garden, demonstrating its fitness 

 as a pot plant for window or conservatory. The 

 contrast between the green and white is sharp, and 

 the habit of the plant is dwarf. It will be of ex- 

 ceptional value for edging subtropical beds, as 

 the general style of the plant is such that it har- 

 monizes splendidly with Palms, Dracenas, and 

 especially with Crotons, for it bears full exposure 

 to tiie sun with splendid results; it also grows in 

 shade. Price, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz., $12 per 100.
