LOTUS PELY0RENSI5. 



(Coral Oem.) 



This charming plant seems to be unknown in 

 this country, yet it is so well thought of abroad 

 that a prominent horticultural journal color- 

 plated it. The Garden says of it : " Its slender 

 brandling habit is most striking, and the silvery 

 foliage even more so. Without its flowers it might 

 almost be described as a Silvery Asparagus." 

 But the bright coral-red flowers, measuring 

 2 inches in length, are really beautiful, greatly 

 reminding one of the rare and beautiful 

 Clianthus or Glory Pea, so difficult to grow, 

 while this gem is of the easiest possible manage- 

 ment. Its drooping habit also makes it useful for hanging- 

 baskets. It is nearly hardy. 



20 cts. each, 3 for 50.

 ing in the open border. 50 cts. each.

 similar to a ripe banana.
