BOUGAINV1LLEA GLABRA SANDERIANA. 



A new variety and a plant that we feel certain will be- 

 come very popular as a pot plant. We give the intro- 

 ducer's description: "It affords us great pleasure to 

 offer this new flowering plant. We have grown this new 

 Bougainvillea 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 have been a sheet of flowers 

 from May until December. It produces as freely as a 

 Fuchsia its dazzling rosy crimson flowers, lasting so long 

 in perfection and produced in smallest pots under all con- 

 ditions, in amazing profusion." 50 cents each, large
