Begonia Gracilis Luminosa. 



This differs from Begonia Gracilis in the lustrous reddish brown color of the 

 foliage, while the flowers, measuring 1 to IJ inches across, are of a fiery dark 

 scarlet. It is very free flowering, and where massed, produces a splendid effect.

NEW CASTOR BEAN, GIANT BLUE STEM. 



(Kicinus Hybr. Panormitanus.) 



A cross between Ricinus Cambodgensis and Zanzibarensis gave birth to this 

 .splendid hybrid, which inherits its color from the former, and from the latter 

 its gigantic dimensions. Thus the stem and stalks at an early age are covered 

 with a blue bloom, becoming later on quite dark, while the leaves measure 

 2 to 2i feet, in South Europe even 3 feet in diameter. The plant has a noble, 

 upright habit, and develops regular branches, while those of the Zanzibarensis 

 mostly hang down and grow more or less irregularly. Wonderfully ornamental; 

 for planting in isolated positions on lawns and for other decorative purposes 

 where large specimen plants are required. Pkt., 20c.
