ERYTHRINA CRISTJE-GALLI, 



OR CORAL PLANT. 

 A magnificent plant, producing its crimson pea-shaped flowers on 

 spikes eighteen inches long. Plant them in the garden in May, and 

 they will flower profusely three or four times in the course of the 

 summer. They may be taken up in the fall, and kept in perfect 

 preservation during winter, in a dry cellar, the roots covered with 

 half-dry earth. When taken up the branches should be well cut back.
