ACALYPHA SANDERI. 



The Philippine Medusa or Chinchilla. 



AGERATUM, Princess Pauline, 



This introduction from the Philippines is the talk of 

 the hour ; it is so unique and odd, and yet so beauti- 

 ful, so brilliant in color and startling in effect, that 

 everybody who sees it wants it. As a decorative plant 

 in any situation it is unsurpassed; whether it be upon 

 the dining-table, in the window, in the conservatory, 

 church, or house, id amply fulfils every requirement, 

 being easy to grow and of wonderfully profuse and 

 continuous bloom. Its marvelous flowers consist of 

 beautiful, fluffy, pendulous, tail-like blossoms from 20 

 to 25 inches long, of a soft, glowing crimson-scarlet, 

 which gracefully trail and droop amid the bright green 

 foliage with delightful effect. It blooms unceasingly 

 the whole year through and with only ordinary care. 

 Its beauty is of too peculiar a style to be adequately 

 described; this wonderful plant must be seen to be ap- 

 preciated. Ea., 50(?; 3 for $1.25. 



Very distinct and remarkably handsome ; a new va- 

 riety of dwarf, compaxit habit, forming a most valuable 

 bedding plant and very desirable for rockwork, tubs 

 or edgings. It possesses the valuable peculiarity of com- 

 bining the two colors, both blue and white, in the same 

 plant. The flowers are borne in a profuse mass in 

 large clusters, the body of each flower being white, 

 while the stamens are of a decided, but delicate, pale 

 blue. It is the most beautiful and valuable Ageratum 

 for bedding purposes that has as yet appeared. Ea., 

 10c; doz., $1.00; 100, $5.00. 



DOUBLE BEGONIA VERNON. 



Undoubtedly a great acquisition will be found in 

 this splendid new bedding plant which promises to be 

 one of the finest ever introduced. Those who know 

 the Begonia Vernon will readily recognize and appre- 

 ciate the great value of this, a plant possessing the 

 same general characteristics with the additional merit 

 of having double flowers, which keep much longer in 

 perfection and are produced in greater profusion. It 

 is a grand novelty. Ea., 35c; 3 for 60c.
