Acaiypha Sandeni — The Most Sensational 

 Introduction of the Century. — Under a 

 variety of names this remarkable plant has 

 been praised by experts tlie world over. 

 It has been called the "Philippine Medusa," 

 *'Dewey's Favorite Plant." "Chenille Plant," 

 *'Blazing Cat Tail" and many other names of 

 similar character. We know of no plant so 

 unique and sensational in appearance. It is 

 an absolutely new departure totally unlike 

 any other plant now known. At the great 

 exhibition which is held at Ghent, Belgium, 

 every five years, to which the plantsmen of 

 Europe bring their finest novelties, this great 

 plant won the distinction of being the most 

 striking' novelty exhibited. It is an extra- 

 ordinary free grower and bloomer, small 

 plants blooming from January to December. 

 As an ornamental plant, it is the most striking 

 overseen. Of brandling habit, the branches 

 spread widely and throw out their long, 

 dazzling crimson, fluffy spikes 1-3 to 18 inches 

 long (not 20 to 30 inches, as has been des- 

 cribed), between the large, bright green 

 leaves, in the most effective manner. A large

 cription. This is a plant that you shou d not

 tion and admiration. Strong plants, 30 cents
