NEW BLUE FLOWERING COLEUS 
(COLEUS THYRSOIDEUS) 
This is quite a novelty, and the only Coleus we know that is 
grown for its flowers instead of the beauty of its foliage. The 
leaves are plain green, but it bears a profusion of lovely sky blue 
flowers, which are borne in splendid spikes, sometimes over a 
foot long and two or three inches in diameter, and as it blooms 
naturally in the Winter time it is particularly suitable for Winter 
flowering in the house or conservatory, where handsome blue 
flowers are always highly appreciated. May be planted out in 
Summer. 15cts., 2 for 25 cts. , $1.50 per doz., postpaid.
