spikes. The lower petal or lip extends horizontally and is of a deep bright blue, forming a pleasing contrast to 
the celestial blue of the upper petals. Blooming as it does in the winter, when flowers are so scarce, this will be 
found a welcome addition to our stoves, It is very free flowering and of good habit. 50 cents. 
*ALOCASIA SANDERIANA. 
A remarkably handsome and truly grand Arad, and one of the finest stove plants. It has erect petioles, which 
are brownish-green and striately mottled; on the young leaves the color is bright glossy green, and on the older 
leaves the surface has a metallic blue reflection. The leaf-blade is arrow-shaped, the front portion with about 
three triangular lobes on each side, the basal portion with one or two smaller lobes; the thick costa and the stout 
cross veins are white, conspicuously bordered with ivory-white, the margins also being white. This is certainly 
the most beautiful of all the Alocasias, and a most magnificent foliage plant. $2.50 to $5.00. 
*IPOMG@A THOMSONIANA. 
A beautiful new species, in habit much resembling the well-known J. Horsfaile. The flowers, however, which 
are borne in clusters, are pure white and much larger, being about three inches in diameter at the mouth. It 
‘ has thick fleshy leaves, and from its free-blooming character cannot fail to become one of the most popular and 
useful of stove-house climbers. Flowers profusely during winter. $1.00.

Horticultural and Royal Botanic Societies on account of its great merit. The stems grow from two to three feet 
high, and are terminated by compound feathery branches of elegant white flowers. I[t is a charming plant on

*IBERIS SEMPERVIRENS PLENO. 
There can be nothing prettier than the double white Candytuft for edging, beds, borders, rockworks, &c., and 
it is of particular value to the Florist. The flowers form a close bouquet of the purest white, and cover the dwarf, 
compact and beautifully rounded bush. The plant is well adapted for pot-culture, but its beauty will be more 
perfectly developed if planted out in the garden. The flowers appear in great profusion from April until June,
