NICOTIANA SANDER>E 



Plant showing bushy habit and floriierousness 

 reproduced from a photo 



THIS beautiful hybrid Nicotiana was raised in England and has been exhibited this season 

 at the Temple show and elsewhere and in ever\' case has been spoken of as the most 

 strikingly beautiful plants of the year. The originators describe it as forming bushy, 

 much branched plants 2 feet high, the whole plant laden with flowers from base to summit — 

 literally ablaze with most handsome carmine-red fragrant blossoms, thousands of which are pro- 

 duced on a single plant. In form the flower resembles Xicotia}ia Ajffinis, but having a short 

 stout tube, and unlike that variety does not close up in the day time but remains open all day, 

 the fragrance, while not so powerful as in Xicodana Affinis, is decidedly delicious. 



It is as easy to grow as a Petunia. If started indoors in early spring and planted out in 

 May it gives a continuous display of blcoms all summer and autumn. It can also be sown in the 

 open ground when the weather becomes warm. Our own representative has seen the plants this 

 summer and speaks ver}- highly of this valuable novelty which is undoubtedly destined for 

 universal use. n
