STROBILANTHES DYERIANUS. 



Magnificent New Foliage Plant. 



An attractive and beautiful high colored foliage plant now offered for the 

 first time; it is certainly one of the most suitable plants for growing in 

 pots for house and conservatory decoration; for bedding out purposes, is already 

 a strong rival to the "Coleus" family. It forms a compact bush, IS to 24 inches 

 high, with leaves 6 to 9 inches long and 3 to 4 inches wide, of the most intense 

 metallic purple color, shading into light rose with a light green margin, a combi- 

 nation unapproached by any other plant. The exquisite gloxinia shaped flowers 

 are of a rich violet blue color and exceedingly pretty, produced in long racemes, 

 which completely cover the plant. By all means include this rare novelty in your 

 order. Fine plants 20c each, 6 for si. 00. 



SWAINSONIA GALEGIFOLIA ALBA. 



This certainly is a most charming everblooming plant of wonderful freedom of 

 growth, and blooming the whole year through. Every shooc, as soon as it attains 

 the height of 6 inches, begins to send forth large spikes of ivory white flowers, 

 which resemble a " Roman Hyacinth." The individual flower is fashioned after 

 the Sweet Pea." Its lasting qualities as a cut flower are remarkable; will last 

 several days when cut and placed in water. The cut flowers of this charming 

 plant are in great demand and during the past season sold readily for SI. 00 to 

 §2.00 per dozen spikes. As a decorative plant in the window or conservatory 

 nothing will give you as much satisfaction as this elegant Swainsonia. It is of 

 the easiest culture and grows in almost any light position. We consider this the 



grandest introduction of late years, 

 and it is sure to become a general favor- 

 ite. Strong plants 15c each. 8 for SI. 00.

 America claim in this splendid variety. We are indebted tq Prof.

 flowers single, of immense size, sufficiently large to more than cover a 

 silver dollar. Its color is clear violet purple and does not fade. The 

 fragrance is intensely delightful — recalling "Sweet Memories of the 

 Past," and Tennyson says: 

 The smell of violets, hidden in the green.
