STROBILANTHES DYERIANUS. 
Seldom is a plant having so many excellent qualities as 
this new variety of Strobilanthes brought out. It is equally 
as desirable for bedding purposes as the Coleus, and may 
be used in connection with them to great advantage. The 
foliage is most beautiful, and highly lustrous, being of a 
bright metallic purple with rose shadings, and a deep green 
margin. It is equally as valuable for pot culture as bedding. 
The great beauty of this plant must be seen to be appreciated

free from mildew. A most prolific bloomer, every growth producing a perfect flower. It has also proved itself perfectly hardy out of doors 
in this country, and a free, thorough everbloomer.
