BOUGAINVILLEA GLABRA 

 SANDERIANA. 



A new variety of Bougainvillea,and a plant 

 that we feel certain will become very popu- 

 lar as a pot plant. We give the introducer's 

 description : "It affords us great pleasure 

 to offer this new and by far the most useful 

 flowering plant known. We have grown this 

 newBougainvillea in a greenhouse, where it 

 has continued flowering for seven months, 

 small and large plants alike being covered 

 with blossoms. Even plants in thumb-pots 

 were laden with bloom. The house in which 

 our plants have been cultivated has been a 

 sheet of flowers from May until December, and at tthe 

 time of writing (Decsmber 30) the plants are carrying 

 thousands of their brilliant blossoms. Many excellent 

 judges state that this will be a favorite market plant, as 

 it produces as freely as a Fuchsia its dazzling rosy crim- 

 son flowers, lasting so long in perfection, and produced 

 in smallest pots, under all conditions, in amazing profusion. We can with all 

 confidence recommend this grand plant as a great acquisition." Strong plants, 

 50 cts. each.
