ACALYPHA SANDERI, or COMET PLANT. 



New Crimson 



-Chenille Plant 



(Acalypha Sandcri, or Comet Plant) 



THIS cut is a representation of the plant as it really 

 appears, and is not at all overdrawn. It grows 10 to 

 12 inches high, blooms quickly and abundantly, and 

 the flower tassels grow as long as the plant is high. 

 They are covered all over with fine crimson flowers, look- 

 ing almost exactly as if made of crimson chenille or silken 

 plush. The plant likes heat and moisture, and good rich 

 soil, but grows easily and blooms so quickly that many are 

 beginning to flower when sent out. When warm weather 

 comes, set out in the flower bed, and it will grow the whole 

 season. A most surprising novelty and a great curiosity. 

 Strong plants, 15, 20 and 25 cts., postpaid. Extra size, 

 35 and 40 cts. each, by express. 



Clssus Discolor 



or CLIMBING BEGONIA 



Not a true Begonia, but an elegant vining window plant, 

 having as richly colored foliage as the finest Painted Leaf 

 Begonias. Has long heart-shaped leaves with a rich metal- 

 lic lustre. Exquisitely marked in different shades of silver 

 and bronze green, beautifully veined with red, the under 

 side being dark, rich crimson. Extra fine for window 

 boxes, vases and pots, and when given a small trellis a foot 

 or two high for support, soon makes a parlor plant of 

 almost unequalled beauty. It likes heat and moisture, and 

 may be kept growing all the time or dried off and rested 

 when desired. Strong Plants, 15 and 20 cts. each, postpaid. 



New Primula Obconica Grandiflora, the Ever-Blooming Primula 



Truly one of the grandest plants for house and conservatory culture ever introduced. Makes neat, bushy plants, 10 to 12 

 inches high, and bears enormous masses of flowers the whole year ; never out of bloom ; many different shades of pink, white 

 and rose ; exceedmgly beautiful, and one of the most satisfactory plants ever offered. Use 4 or 5 in. pots and good rich earth, and 

 keep in a cool, shady place. Strong Plants, ready to bloom, 15 cts. each, 4 for 50 cts., 8 for $1.00, postpaid. 



New Passion Flower 

 ...NORTHERN CROSS 



(PFORDTII) 



This is the most beautiful of all the Passion 

 Flowers, both for the flowerbed and for pots. It is 

 a low, vining plant with handsome foliage, begins 

 to bloom while quite small and continues loaded 

 with lovely flowers for several weeks. Flowers are 

 2% to 3 inches across, and show a well-defined 

 raised cross in the centre; very curious and remark- 

 able in form, and containing several different 

 shades. Keep roots in cellar over Winter. Strong 

 Plants, 15 cts. each, 2 for 25 cts., |:1.50 per dozen, 

 postpaid. The 2 Varieties for 25 cts. 



New Hardy Passion Flower 

 SOUTHERN BEAUTY 



Unlike most other Passion Flowers, this one is 

 a strong, vigorous climber, and entirely hardy; will 

 climb up a trellis 10 or 12 feet high in a season and 

 cover it all over with pretty leafage and large 

 clusters of handsome flowers. The flowers are 3 

 to 4 inches across, and the colors a remarkable 

 combination of red, white and blue shades. The 

 form of the flowers, though much reduced in size, 

 is well shown in the engraving herewith. A light 

 covering of leaves or garden litter put over the 

 roots before severe freezing will keep them from 

 injury, and they will bloom every Summer for years 

 without further attention. Price, 15 cts. each, 

 |1.50 per dozen, postpaid.
