New Dwarf Coral Plant. 



Erythrina Christa-Galli Compacta. 

 The Coral Plant has always been a favorite on account of its 

 brilliant and interesting flowers, but its tall growth was an 

 objection to its general cultivation, it frequently attaining a height 

 of 6 feet before blooming. In this new variety we have a plant 

 that is not only dwarf — it did not exceed 30 inches in our trial 

 grounds last summer — but is also of branching habit, and each 

 branch is terminated with a spike of flowers. These are of a 

 brilliant crimson-scarlet, and are produced from early in July 

 until frost ; a plant that we can recommend for every garden. 

 After frost the plants may be lifted and stored in a dormant con- 

 dition through the winter in a dry cellar, covering them with dry 

 soil or sand. Extra strong plants, 30 cents each ; $3.00 per doz. 

 Christa-galli. 20 cents each ; $2.00 per doz. 



Encharis Amazonica. 



A nice lot of strong bulbs in 4-inch pots. 

 20 cents each ; $2.00 per dozen ; $15.00 per 1 00. 



Eurya Latifolia Variegata 



An evergreen shrub with dark green foliage, which is beauti- 

 fully variegated with creamy white ; good plants in 5 -inch pots, 

 50 cents each. 



FicnS ElaStica. (Rubber Plant.) 



10 to 12 inches high. S3. 00 per doz.; $25.00 per 100. 



Ficns Radicans Variegata. 



A pretty variegated trailing variety. An admirable plant for 

 the warm conservator}'. The leaves are bright green, freely 

 and irregularly margined with white, the variegation sometimes 

 extending to nearly the entire leaf. 35 cts. each. 



Ficns Repens. 



Strong 3-inch pots, $1.25 per doz.; $10.00 per 100.

10 choice varieties

Ficns Lntescens. 



The Mistletoe Fig or Rubber Plant. 



A new species which is especially interesting on account of 

 its free prolific fruiting qualities, it bearing at each leaf axis a 

 small fig-shaped berry, which at first green changes to a pale 

 yellow. The foliage is small and of a dark green color, the 

 whole plant reminding one of a branch of mistletoe. It should 

 make an excelleut subject for the window-garden. 

 Strong plants, 75 cents each.
