New Crimson 



-Clienille 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 moist- 

 ure, 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 Fall 

 novelty and a great curiosity. Sti'Oiig' Plants, 

 15, 20 and 25 cts., "postpaid. Extra 

 size, 35 and 40 cts. eacb, by express. 



Cissus 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 metallic lustre. 

 Acalyplia Sanderi, or Comet Plant. 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 likesheat 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 Passion Flower 



Southern Beauty 



(AMERICA) 



Unlike most other Passion Vines, this 

 splendid new variety, besides being ex- 

 quisitely beautiful, is a strong \-igorous 

 grower and entirely hard}-; will climb up 

 a trellis 10 to 20 feet high in a season, and 

 cover it all over with splendid wreaths 

 and clusters of large handsome flowers 

 and foliage. The flowers are four to five 

 inches across, and the color is an elegant 

 combination of red, white and blue shades, so 

 entirely unique and striking, that they attract 

 attention at once. The form of the flowers, 

 though much reduced in size, is well 

 shown in the engraving, and as the foli- 

 age is handsome also, it can be recom- 

 mended as one of the choicest and most 

 beautiful hardy flowering vines now of- 

 fered. In very exposed situations, the 

 roots should have a covering of leaves or 

 litter before severe freezing; they can 

 then remain in the ground over Winter 

 and will bloom every season for years. 



GOOD STRONG ROOTS, 20 cts. each; 3 for 50 cts.; $1.50 per dozen, postpaid.
