MELON PEAR OR MELON SHRUB.—Solanum Guatemalense. 
“A very delicious fruit from the Highlands of Guatemala, and now being cultivated in California. It will 
likely succeed in the South. The fruit is of the size of a hen or goose egg, or even larger, and very much of the 
same shape. ‘The color is lemon or pale orange with streaks or waves of bright violet, the whole making a fruit 
unrivaled in beauty. The interior of the fruit is a solid pulp similar to that of a pear, also of a pale yellow color, 
and of a taste resembling that of a fine musk-melon, but which has besides a most charming acid, so wholesome 
and so delicious that when the fruit is partaken of on a very warm day, it allays the thirst tor several hours. 
The plant is an enormous yielder. 25 cts. j : 
*MEDINILLA CURTISII. 
A beautiful Stove plant of bushy habit. The flowers are produced in great numbers in terminal and lateral 
panicled cymes on flower stalks of a beautiful coral red. Mach flower is about half an inch in diameter, and has 
an ivory white calyx and a creamy white corolla, which show to great advantage the central tuft of purple 
stamens. 
The neat and compact habit of the plant, the profusion with which its chaste flowers are produced, and 
which continue in perfection for many weeks in the autumn, render this one of the most valuable plants of 
recent introduction. $1.00.

ings of a whitish blue. The mid-rib is prominent and slightly channelled on the upper face. When it is in 
poner it is still more attractive. The spathe is remarkable for its curious pocket-like form and its knotty spadix.
