*ERANTHEMUM MACROPHYLLUM. 
_A very desirable winter-flowering stove plant. Its pretty light blue flowers are borne in terminal and axillary 
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 searce, this will be 
tound a welcome addition to our stoves. It is very free flowering and of good habit. 2 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 reflectiou. 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 each.
