sweet-scented flowers, which are also more copiously produced. It appears to bea small species, with long, very 
slender branches springing from low down on the stem, and curving over on all sides, weighed down by terminal 
globose panicles. A flowering shoot is produced from every joint, which terminates in a dense cluster of pure 
white fragrant flowers. 25 cents.

An old but neglected plant; free luxuriant grower, with large hairy foliage, flowers long, white, tubular, 
edge margined crimson. 25 cents. 
GLOBBA COCCINEA.

elegant contour. They are furnished with deep green leaves and terminate in a dense raceme of flowers, of which 
the bracts are scarlet and the perianth yeliow. The plant is continuously in bloom during the greater part of 
the year. The elegant habit of this plant, its richly-colored flowers of singular structure and their long duration 
render it a most useful and interesting plant. 50 cents.
