OF NEW, RARE AND BEAUTIFUL PLANTS. 21 



ANASACANTHUS WRIGHTIL— (New.) 



Each. 

 Another new plant which I have received from the same latitude in Texas as the Salvia. 

 A shruh attains a height of four to five feet, bushy, flowers orange, a continuous 

 bloomer, nearly or quite hardy $0 50 



SONERILA HENDERSONII. 



A charmingly variegated plant, of dwarf habit. Its leaves are most elegantly studded 

 over with silvery white pearl, or tiger like spots upon a rich dark olive green 

 ground. Flowers rosy lilac. This beautiful plant proves far easier in its manage- 

 ment than any of the former species of Sonerila. We have found this plant a 

 profuse bloomer during the winter. Florists should grow it largely 50 



PHYLLOTvENIUM LINDENI. 



A fine Aroid discovered by Mr. G. Wallis, in New Grenada, and sent by him to M. 

 Linden, of Ghent. The plant has robust foliage, which is very persistent; the 

 leaves are of a light glossy green, marked by bands of white, which cross the blade 

 in almost parallel lines from a prominent mid-rib of the same color 1 00 



CLEMATIS IND1VISA. 



An evergreen species from New Zealand, of rapid growth, not quite hardy, suitable for 



a cold greenhouse. It gives in great profusion during winter its small white flowers, 75

late in summer. Figured in American Agriculturist 30 



VERONICAS.— {New.) 



Hendersonii. A new species introduced from Japan, growth about two feet high, robust 

 habit, foliage broad, of a deep rich green, dense and abundantly produced. The

 posed of many spikes, the finest of the herbaceous section of Veronicas 75

 gated foliage, long spikes of blue flowers 50

 are in terminal verticillasters, intermixed with numerous obovate acuminate leafy 

 bracts 50 



Ruprechtii. A beautiful new hardy perennial, flowers in long spikes of azure blue 50 



CANNA EHEMANNI. 



The most distinct of all Cannas on account of the large oval Musa-Ensete-like soft green 

 leaves which place it foremost among decorative foliage plants. Its most striking 

 feature is the splendid carmine red flowers produced on flower stems of great length 

 that unfold about 12 flowers to each of the smaller branches. These flowers are 

 very large ? and are used to advantage in bouquet-making, or producing splendid 

 effects on the lawn. See plate in " Garden." 50 



TECOMA STANS.

during summer ; the flowers are a rich yellow, and very floriferous 1 00
