Entirely distinct from the varieties of Coleus heretofore known,

 and is not a foliage plant, the leaves being plain green, but it is 

 a grand winter-flowering plant. Its season of flowering is from 

 New Year until late in March. The plant is of strong growth, 

 attains a height of 2 to 2}4 f eet > and produces dense cylindrical 

 spikes 1 inch in diameter and from 6 to 12 inches long, bearing 

 beautiful rich blue flowers, resembling the blue Larkspur in color. 

 At no season are blue flowers plentiful, and they are always in 

 demand, especially during the winter season. 25 cts. each ; $2.50 

 per doz.
