NEW DWARF CORAL PI^AIST. 



(Erythrina Clirista-GalU Compacta.) 



Tlie Coral Plant has always been a favorite on account of its brilliant 

 and interesting flowers, but its tall growth was an objection to its general 

 cultivation, it frequently attaining a height of 6 feet before blooming. In 

 this new variety we have a plant that is not only dwarf — -it did not exceed 

 30 inches in our tri.d grounds last summer — but is also of branching habit, 

 and each branch is terminated with a spike of flowers. These are of a bril- 

 liant crimson-scarlet, and are produced from early in July until frost ; a 

 plant that we can recommend for every garden. After frost the plants may 

 be lifted and stored in a dormant condition through the winter in a dry 

 cellar, coverin;,' them with dry soil or sand. 50 cts. each; 515 00 per doz.

 which purpose the Geranium must 

 still be considered as the most 

 satisfactory of all flowering plants.

New Dwarf Coral Plant. 



Neiiv Boston Sword Fern, 



or Ostricli Plume Fern. 



(Nephrolepis Piersoni.) 



This new Fern was introduced last spring as the 

 most important addition to this line of plants in many 

 years. The plant possesses the same vigorous growth 

 that is characteristic of the Boston Fern, wiih long, 

 graceful fronds, but with each ]3innjB or leaflet subdi- 

 vided so as to form a perfect miniature frond. This is 

 ■well shown in our illustration, though it conveys but 

 a slight idea of their grace and plume-like beauty. 

 The fronds grow broad and heavy, and measure, when 

 fully developed, at least 6 inches across, increasing in 

 beauiy as they develop. A large stnck enables us to 

 offer this new plant at greatly reduced prices. 

 Young plants, in 24- in. pots, 15 cts. each; $1.50 per dof.
