LIBONIA PENRHOSIENSIS. 
A very elegant shrubby stove plant obtained by crossing Libonia floribunda 
with Sericographis Ghiesbreghtiana. It has much brighter and deeper colored 
flowers than its parent, and the leaves are more acute. It is an exceedingly 
useful decorative plant, freely producing its fine showy flowers, which are of a 
bright rich crimson color, passing into fiery red. It blooms in the most profuse 
manner in the depth of winter, and being easily cultivated, is a most desirable 
plant. $1 each. 
AMORPHOPHALLUS RIVIERI. 
This very curious Aroidez 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 
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 attended to, in drawing 
rooms, etc. 
The whole plant is of a dark green; the stems and nerves of the leaf are irreg- 
ularly spotted with white. Plant in a light rich soil, well manured and water 
well during summer. $1 each. 
SALVIA SPLENDENS ALBA.— White Scarlet Sage. 
A very remarkable novelty in the form of a white variety, of the well known 
Searlet Sage, in which not only the flower, but also the calyx or outward flower- 
ing sheath is of the purest white. This is a most desirable new plant. 60 cts. each. 
THYMUS CITRIODORUS AUREO-MARGINATUS. 
A beautiful dwarf-growing garden variety, forming a compact perfect pyra- 
mid; the leaves are dark green, broadly margined with rich yellow. It will be 
found most effective for edging and general bedding purposes, 60 cents each.

A very beautiful winter flowering plant of easy culture, flowers freely, color 
pure white. 50 cents each. 
*ROSA RUGOSA (REGELIANA.) 
This attractive plant has been introduced from Japan. It is of neat compact 
bushy growth. The flowers, which are freely produced in large terminal clus- 
ters, are about 3 inches in diameter, and are composed of five petals, which are 
of a most beautiful bright rosy crimson color. The flowers are succeeded by 
berries, which are of a large size and of a rich rosy red color, and are a great 
addition to the ornamental character of the plant, and combined with the mag- 
nificent color of the flowers, and the profusion in which they are borne, render 
it exceedingly useful and effective. $1 each. 
*SUNRAY.—WNew Tricolor-Leaved Fuchsia. 
One of the most beautiful plants ever offered; colors as rich and clear as in 
any Tricolor Pelargonium ; the leaves, which are very lurge, are of a rich bright 
crimson, white, and bronzy green, in about equal parts. The habit and growth 
is all that can be desired, each plant forming a beautiful pyramid. It will make 
a magnificent exhibition plant, and invaluable as a decorative or market plant.
