NEW AND RARE PLANTS FOR 1878. 



NEW ABUTILONS.

 flowers from the axil of each leaf; flowers large, buft' yellow, veined 

 Vv'ith crimson, which resemble a parasol in shape. 25 cents. 



DARWINI TESSELLATUM. The variegation of this plant shows 

 three distinct shades of coloring ; the deep green of the leaves 

 being marbled or tessellated with golden yellow, and a tint inter- 

 mediate between the two. The flowers are the same as the 

 " Darwini "' in color and shape. 50 cents.

 shaded with orange; constant bloomer; dwarf habit. 50 cents.

NEW COLEUS. 



ALBION. Yellow-edged and spotted with crimson, 40 cents, 

 ELDORADO. Rich yellow, with a narrow crimson edge and mid-rib; 



smooth foliage. 40 cents. 

 MUSAICA. Marbled and spotted with yellow and rich crimson. 40 cts, 

 PICTQS {see cat). This distinct and rare variety is not a garden hybrid, 

 but an introduction from the Duke of York Island. Its bold and 

 deeply laciniated foliage is curiously streaked with rich brown, on 

 a bright green or yellow ground, the brown turning to bright red 

 on the yellow surface. These peculiar markings, and the unusual 

 form of the leaves, give the plant a bizarre and curious appearance. 

 It Avill doubtless stand the sun well, and be a forerunner of a new 

 type of seedling varieties. 50 cents, $5 per dozen.
