This very beautiful plant is of compact pyramidal form and bushy habit, 

 profusely branched, each leading branch being tipped with a small spike of 

 bright crimson flowers. 



I have no hesitation in saying that this is one of the best bedding-out plants 

 ever introduced. Several long rows of it the past summer, in my nursery, were 

 truly beautiful. The greater the drought and more intense the heat, the 

 brighter shone the colors of this lovely plant. The upper surface of the leaf is 

 of a bright deep claret color, whilst the under is of a bright crimson shade ; by 

 its side the colors of Iresine and Coleus look dingy. 15 cts. per packet.
