Autumn Tints (Acalpha.) 



Beautiful Floral Favorites 



Brighter and .Hore Attractive Than Coleus. 



AUTUMN TINTS — (Acalpha Bicolor.) — A most wonderful plant, sur- 

 passing the finest Coleus or Begonia in the rich coloring of the 

 leaves which are thick and glossy and beautifully marked with rich 

 Autumn tints entirely different from anything else. The leaves 

 are large, oval shaped, varying in size, the larger leaves measuring 

 four and one-half inches wide and eight inches long. Of a bright 

 green color margined with a wide irregular band of lemon yeUow 

 and having wide yellow bars running lengthwise of the leaf, and 

 Also thickly dotted with yellow blotches. Its most important fea- 

 ture is its wonderful qualification for bedding, as it will stand bed- 

 ding out like a Coleus; in fact, in the sunniest place it produces the 

 highest coloring. Habit of growth is compact, vdth free branch- 

 ing habit, rarely attaining a height of over twelve to eighteen in- 

 ches, lac. each., 2 for 25c,

Brazilian Plume Plant 



Novel and Beautiful 



This plant is a native of Brazil, and of the easiest possible cul- 

 ture, and seems to do equally well in all kinds of soU, and in any 

 situation, requiring but very little attention: it is, in fact, one of the 

 few plants that everyone can grow successfully. It is a strong, rapid 

 grower, and throws long shoots, each of which is tipped with the 

 beautiful pink, plume-like flowers, the ends of every petal drooping 

 in a most charming manner. In appearance the blossoms resemble 

 somewhat a mammoth chrysanthemum, but are three or foiu- times 

 as large, and the petals broader and of different formation. It is a 

 grand pot plant, commencing to flower when the plants are very 

 small, and blooming profusely for several months out of the year.
