PETER HENDERSON & CO—FLOWER SEEDS. 73 
EUPHORBIA HETEROPHYLLA, {anwoarPornserrra. 
‘*Mexican Fire Plant” or ‘‘Fire on the Mountain.” An annual of the 
easiest culture, forming bushy plants three to four feet high, with 
glossy green leaves, which form at the ends of the branches into large 
whorls and bracts, which in summer and autumn become blazed with 
a darker fiery scarlet so that only a tip of green is left. The effect is 
indescribably grand. The seeds grow easily if sown in the open ground 
as soon as it is warm enough, but if they can be started early in the 
house or hot bed the brilliant scarlet color will appear much earlier 
in the season, and is always retained until frost. The plants should be 
grown in a warm situation, fully exposed to the sun, which enhances the 
brilliancy and hastens the coloring. If they are pruned when young they 
branch out into finely formed bushes. This ‘‘ Annual Poinsettia” is also: 
valuable as a pot plant for house culture. Seeds sown early in the sum- 
mer will produce plants that vetain their glowing scarlet leaves and bracts 
all winter. (See cut.) Per packet, 15 cts.
