DREER'S DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF BULBS, ETC. 31 



POINSETTIA PULCHERRIMA PLENISSIMA. 



This remarkable Poinsettia is unquestionably the greatest acquisition in winter-flowering 

 plants ever introduced. Its gorgeous bracts, reproduced in profusion from the repeated 

 branchings of the flowering stem, form a massive head of brilliant color unsurpassed by 

 any flowering plant in cultivation. " The Journal of Horticulture " of December 16th, 1S75. 

 announcing the flowering of the plant in Europe for the first time, remarks: " The head, 

 which we particularly noted, was 16 inches in diameter, and from the base to the apex of 

 the cone of drooping bracts was 11 inches in depth. The bracts in this head were fifty in 

 number, arranged in seven separate cymes which had sprung from the primary base. The 

 color is superlatively brilliant, as if a delicate tint of orange floated over the intense scarlet, 

 imparting a more dazzling appearance than is possessed by the old species. If the designa- 

 tion, 'A Cone of Fire,' is applicable to any plant in existence, this is the one." Strong 

 flowering plants. $2.50.
