 uable for bedding and gen- 

 eral culture.

Bird of Paradise, 



Poinciana Gillesi. 



The color of the Bower 

 is a golden yellow, measur- 

 ing two and a half inches 

 across, with shape as 

 shown in illustration, and 

 is produced in very large 

 trusses. The most beauti- 

 ful part of the flower is the 

 large pistils which are 

 spread out in fan-like 

 form, and are of bright 

 crimson color. The foliage 

 is also highly decorative, 

 reminding one of a very 

 delicate Acacia. If the 

 seed is started early, it will 

 produce blooms in great 

 profusion the first year. 

 Pkt.. 15 seeds, 8 cts.
