Celosia Huttonii. 



This very beautiful plant is of compact pyramidal form and bushy habit, 

 profusely branched, each leading branch being tipped with a small spike of 

 bright crimson flowers. 



In color the plant resembles the well-known Iresine Lindenii, the upper sur- 

 face of the leaf being of a deep claret color, while the under side is of a bright 

 crimson shade. It grows to a height of about 1} to 2 feet, by about 1£ feet in 

 diameter, the leaves measuring 3 to 4 inches long by f to 1£ inch wide at the 

 broadest part. 



As a Bedding or Sub-tropical riant it will take a high rank, from its fine 

 habit and rich and effective coloring. Although generally treated as a half- 

 hardy annual, plants which have been bedded out during the summer retain 

 their fine bright color till late in the autumn, a bed of it being on October 29th, 

 in full beauty in the Chelsea Nursery, having withstood late severe frosts with- 

 out any protection. 



Plants propagated by cuttings taken off in early summer, make splendid 

 objects for greenhouse decoration during the winter months.
