LISIANTHUS. 



A magnificent greenhouse plant, with large handsome 

 Tulip-shaped flowers of a fine rich purple with a very- 

 deep eye in the center. The flower continues perfect 

 for two or three weeks. By forcing it early in the 

 spring and planting out in the open border, it will 

 probably be found to flower as freely as Phlox Drum- 

 mondii.
