New Blue Flowering Coleus 
Description of the 
Our leading novelty for this season is the wonderful New Blue Flowering Coleus (Coleus Thyrsoides), 
recently introduced from South Africa, and recommended by leading authorities to be a ‘*‘ perfect Gem 
among Winter Flowering Plants.’”” Has dark green leaves and bears a great profusion of lovely sky-blue 
flowers which, on large plants, are borne in splendid spikes, sometimes over afoot long and two to three 
inches in diameter. A plant in full bloom is a sight to be remembered. It is a grand plant for the house 
and conservatory, as it blooms freely all the Winter and Spring, and can be planted out in the flower bed 
in Summer. It is as yet very new and scarce; but we make price as low as possible and hope our 
friends will give it a liberal trial. Will do best kept ina pot until fully established, then set out; it likes 
plenty of heat and moderate moisture. Price, 25 cents each, postpaid. 
New Impatiens—‘“‘Evening Star” 
The well-known Impatiens Sultana, see page 36, is a very favorite house plant, highly valued for its 
constant bloom and bright rose-colored flowers. ‘‘ Evening Star’’ is an entirely new variety, having all 
the good qualities of the old Sultana, but of an entirely different color; the flowers being pure white 
with deep crimson centre, very beautiful and borne in great profusion all over the plant, which is quite 
bushy and has handsome foliage. Will grow nicely in an ordinary living room window and continues 
covered with its lovely star-like flowers nearly all the time, Winter and Summer. No other house piant 
we know will bloom quicker or more continuously than this beautiful New Impatiens, ‘‘ Evening Star.” 
Price, 15 cents each. 
New Fuchsia—“‘Autumn Leaves” 
This grand New Fuchsia always attracts attention by it brilliant colored leaves and stems, which are 
deep rich carmine red, as shown in the picture, which is taken from natural growing plants, which are 
quite as bright and striking as the most brilliant colored autumn leaves. The flowers are extra large and 
elegantly formed, with rich royal purple sepals and bright fiery red corolla. It is entirely new and will 
make a very handsome addition to any collection. Price, 20 cents each.
