 is an inch or more across. They are 

 followed by large plum-shaped fruits. 

 This daintily foliaged plant climbs by 

 means of tendrils, clinging to a rough 

 surface or wire netting. Ideal for 

 porches, arbors, or any other place 

 where shade is desired. When planting 

 seeds, set them edgewise.

Coleus 



Flame l\ettle 



This plant has two uses, for both of which it is prized 

 — as a highly decorative pot plant indoors, and for 

 making ibeds, borders or edgings to taller plants 

 outdoors. Its brilliantly colored foliage and its speed 

 of growth make it valuable, too, for window boxes and 

 cemetery planting. Coleus develops its best color 

 when exposed to the full sunlight. Few plants make 

 quicker growth. 20 in. 



1244 Mammoth Rainbow Mixed 



LTntiring efforts on our part to still further improve 

 the foremost strain of Coleus that can be had — 

 Maule's Mammoth Rainbow Mixture — have been 

 crowned with unbounded success, and we are justly 

 proud of it. The remarkable color combinations and 

 richness of colors in the large leaves are magnificent. 

 We consider our strain as perfect as can be.
