ALLAMANDA WARDLEYANA. 



A very showy greenhouse climber, bearing large and beautiful golden yellow flowers six inches in diameter. It blooms 



in clusters and is superior in coloring and size to any of the Allamandaa. 

 Will thrive in warm houses, though greenhouse treatment enhances its 

 beauty. 



$1.00 each. 



BEGONIA COUNTESS LOUISE ERDODY. 



The leaf, which has a metallic lustre, appears dark silvery in the centre, 

 shading into coppery rose toward the margin, which is broadly and evenly 

 edged with the same hue, but darker aud more brilliant. The striking pe- 

 culiarity, however, which distinguishes it from all other Begonias, is that 

 the two lobes at the base of the leaf do not grow side by side, but one of 

 them winds in a spiral-like way until in a full-grown leaf there are four of 

 these twists lying on the top of tlie leaf nearly two inches high. 

 50 cts. each. 



BEGONIA COMPTA. 



A pretty ornamental species from Brazil. Its leaves have palish pink 

 footstalks, whicli are five to six inches long, remarkable for the unequal 

 development. The color is satiny green with a silvery tinge along the 

 course of the mid-rib; this coloration with the satiny surface being of a 

 very pleasing character.
