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, looking 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. It is a most surprising novelty 

 and a great curiosity. Strong Plants, 20 

 and 25 cts. each, postpaid. Kxtra size, 

 35 and. 40 cts. each, by express. 



Carly Flowering 

 ^iEEHyacinths 



nOMAN HYACINTHS are among the handsom- 

 ■^ est and most desirable of all bulbs for early 

 Winter flowering. They begin to bloom 

 very quickly and throw up a great mass of sweet 

 and lovely flowers almost before other bulbs 

 get started. 



When planted early they can easily be 

 had in bloom by Christmas, and will con- 

 tinue in perfection for several weeks, if 

 not kept too warm. They come in lovely 

 shades of white, pink, blue and yellow. 

 The flowers are borne gracefully on tall 

 stems and are delightfully sweet. They 

 grow easily in pots, boxes or glasses, re- 

 quire no special treatment and are abso- 

 lutely sure to bloom. Though recom- 

 mended for house culture, they also do 

 well in open ground, and will bloom very 

 early in the Spring.
