roTvn of Thorns, (Euphorbia Splendens.) 



A curious plant, with thick, fleshy, twining stems, which 

 are covered with stout, sharp spines nearly an inch long. Thete 

 is a tradition that this plant furnished the material for the 

 "Crown of Thorns" used in the divine tragedy. The foliage is 

 bright green and the flowers are a beautiful coral-pink, 

 very pretty when in bloom. 1 5c. each, 2 for 25c.

Rich, glossy foliage, blooming profusely 

 through the summer, literally covering the plant with 

 scarlet-crimson flowers. 15c. each, 2 for 2Sc. 



/^ynara Aura.ntiaca* (Velvet Plant.) 



^^ Velvet Plant seems an appropriate name, the 

 leaves being always taken as artificial. They and 

 the stems are entirely covered with purple hairs. 

 Shining, glistening, reflecting many new colors. Any 

 change of position appears to alter tlie color of the 

 foliage. A grand plant. Ox easiest growth.

A very attractive sort, with good size double flowers, blooming profusely all summer, shining, pale-green foliage. 

 It is much easier to handle than other Cape Jasmines, and, as a whole, more desirable. Very fragrant. 1 5c. each, 2 for 25c. 





New Jasmine {Maid of Orleans).
