SCHIZANTHUS WISETONENrflS. 



This wonderfully showy plant deserves to be widely known and 

 cultivated, .\ttaining a height of about 16 inches, branching freely 

 and yet of compact pyramidal form, it throws well above its charming 

 featlier.v foliage a multitude of large panicles of beautiful blossoms. 

 It-! ground color is mostly white dotted with delicate rose, while the 

 upper lip is adorned in the center by a .spot varying in shade between 

 golilcn yellow, carmine, rose and bright brown. These lovely Schizan- 

 thus, literally covered as they are wilh their dainty little flowers, make 

 excellent jiot and market plants. If planted in the open thc.v require 

 a scmicwhal shaded position. Trade pkt., 50c.
