NEW CRIMSON CHENILLE 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. 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.
