Mew Plants of /^erit. 
Introduced to Commerce by Siebrecht & Wadley. 
^UR NOVELTIES are given precedence in tliis General Catalogue, not only because as entirely new plants the 
will attract especial attention from all who love flowers, but also because they are of unusual beauty an( 
sterling worth, having been tested under our own eyes and found valuable for general distribution and culti 
vation. Our new Ferns, Palms, Hybrid Dracxnas, Amaryllises and superb Climbers deserve special attention. 
Abutilon, Souvenir de Bonn. 
(Andenken von Bonn.) 
A most striking new decorative foliage plant, with beautifully variegated leaves of good size, regularly and evenlj 
marked with white and green. Amid these leaves the gracefully 
drooping, orange-colored flowers are produced in great abundance, 
forming a clear and brilliant contrast. In habit of growth this 
Abutilon is tree-like — strong and upright, but quite graceful. For 
summer bedding and greenhouse decoration in winter it is equally 
valuable. $2. 
Aglaonema costata. 
A pretty dwarf decorative stove plant, 
with fine, heart-shaped, leathery green 
leaves, sharply spotted with white, and 
having distinctly marked midribs. $2. 
New Hybrid Amaryllids. 
These new hybrid Amaryllises are the 
result of our own crosses from the well-known 
A. aiilica, Gravesiana, Thomas Speed and Em- 
press of India. They are all excellent for forcing 
and winter flowering. 
Mrs. E. R. Liaclc^w. The largest-flowering Ama- 
ryllis obtained so far. The bulbs bloom pro- 
fusely, sending up a strong, sliapely growth of 
foliage and flower clusters. The individual 
flowers measure from nine to ten inches in diam- 
eter, and are rich, brilliant crimson-scarlet, 
with a soft, velvety surface. $3. 
Mrs. Van Rensselaer Cruger. A brilliant 
hybrid, havingthe general character of Empress 
of India. The flower-stems are strong and 
upright, each one supporting a cluster of four or 
five perfectly round, full flowers of a thick, vel- 
vety te.\ture and bright scarlet color, with a 
yellow disc. fo. 
Rubi-a Striata. The most distinct hybriil 
Amaryllis yet introduce<l. The delightfully fra- 
grant flowers are borne on thick, strong stems, 
three to five in a cluster, and are rich, dark 
crimson, regularly striped with white. They 
are very striking and of great substance, re- 
maining perfect a long while. $3.
