 axil of which rope-like spikes of velvety crimson flowers — one to two feet long and

 window plant. 15 cts. each; §1.50 per doz.

Pretty greenhouse plants that do not receive the attention 

 they deserve, but which we are certain will, when their many 

 good qualities are better known, become popular, not only as 

 decorative plants, but as cut flowers, for which many of the va- 

 rieties, on account of their peculiar-shaped flowers and rich 

 colorings, which frequently last on the plant from two to three 

 months, especially adapt them.
