*ANTIGONON LEPTOTUS. 



A beautiful warm conservatoiy plant, of climbing habit, distinguished by its an- 

 gular stems, heart shaped leaves and numerous racemes of rose-colored flowers, 

 showing a still richer tint in the centre. The profusion of its bloom, and the out- 

 line of the petals are such as to give the resemblance of Roses at a distance, hence 

 one of its Mexican names is "Rosa de Montana," or Mountain Rose. Described 

 by its botanical discoverer as the most beautiful climber he had ever beheld ; ready 

 in May. $3 50 each. 



GYMNOSTACHYUM VERSCHAFFELTII. 



Stems and branches are of a reddish tinge, red leaf stalks, upper surface of the

 passing into brilliant scarlet^ on a fine deep green ground ; a lovely trailing plain. 

 60 cents each.

In this beautiful new species we have a plant of equal beauty with tlie two fore-

 look this and the two foregoing. $1 50 each.
