 green, flowers light orange ; a superb bedding variety. $1 each. 



Muscefolia Sanguinea. Highly ornamental variety, having broad and stately 

 Muse-like leaves, prominently ribbed or nerved, and of a rich bronze or 

 chocolate and crimson tint. As portable single specimens for temporary 

 designs, it forms a very beautiful and telling effect in contrast with the 

 massive groups of miscellaneous plants in the same order. 75 cents each.

 75 cents each. 



Oriflamme. Leaves large lanceolate -green, with violet veins, a vigorous showy 

 plant, with salmon orange flowers. 40 cents each. 



Tricolor. This novel and picturesque variety of Canna forms a very distinct 

 and effective group for decoration. It is intermediate in height, from 2 to 

 4 feet, of free and compact growth. The stems, with the young terminal 

 growth, and also leaf margins, are tinted with red, making an elegant con- 

 trast to the general effect of the foliage, which is densely streaked and mot- 

 tled with cream white. 30 cents each. 



AMORPHOPHALLUS RIVIERI. 



This ver3 r curious Aroideae will make a striking figure in our gardens ; planted 

 in the open ground, in April-May (like the Dahlias) the tubers will produce on 

 a thick stem, a very extraordinary looking palmated single leaf, in the shape of 

 a reversed umbrella. Planted in pots and put in a greenhouse, it will still 

 grow larger than in the open ground, and keep very well, without being at- 

 tended to, in drawing-rooms, etc. The whole plant is of a dark green ; the 

 stems and nerves of the leaf are irregularly spotted with white. Plant in a 

 light rich soil, well manured and water well during summer. 50 cents each. 



-BEGONIA OCTOPETALA.— New. 



A very beautiful tuberous-rooted species. Its habit of growth is vigorous and 

 robust, with large kidney or heart-shaped leaves, having a dentated lobed mar- 

 gin. The flower scape rises two feet in height, producing a terminal cymose 

 cluster or head of remarkably large and effective salver-like white blossoms, 

 expanding from two to three inches in diameter, nearly circular in outline, and 

 shaded with a purplish hue on the under side. This rare and truly fine species 

 has long been lost to English gardens. $2 each. (Ready in May.)
