CHINESE LANTERN PLANT. 

 (PHYSALIS FRANCHETTI). 



The plant produces numerous, large, inflated husks, much the 

 shape of Chinese lanterns, at first a beautiful green color, chang- 

 ing to a yellowish hue aud then to brightest scarlet, and as they 

 hang suspended among the green foliage they present a most novel 

 and strikingly beautiful appearance. Branches cut and dried re- 

 tain their rich and brilliant color, and make most beautiful winter 

 bouquets when used with dried grasses or leaves. The plant 

 grows from one and one-half to two feet in height. Treated like 

 a Tomato it grows and fruits freely from seed the first season, yet 

 the plants are perennial and may be wintered in the cellar or 

 grown in pots as a window plant. Pkt., 30 seeds, 6 cts.
