Amarantlius Salicifolius. 
This remarkable, and by Car the most beautiful variety of Ama- 
rantlius was obtained from the Philippine Islands, and, as we saw 
it first flowering in the gardens of Messrs. Veitch, last autumn, 
was the most conspicuous and attractive object in their collection. 
The plant is from two and a half to three feet high, with hori- 
zontal branches one foot in length, covered with beautifully-un- 
dulating bronzy green leaves about six inches in length, which 
become more elongated at the ends of the branches, and, as the 
plant matures, assuming a bright orange-red color, and being from 
ten to fifteen inches in length, forming magnificent plumes, and 
giving the plant a most elegant and picturesque appearance. The 
extremely graceful habit and richness of color of this plant render 
it a striking object as a single specimen, and also very effective in 
masses. 40 cents each. S3 for 10. 
Anthnrium Scherzerianum. 
A beautiful dwarf evergreen perennial stove plant, producing 
leaves from twelve to eighteen inches in length, and two inches in 
breadth, of a deep rich green color and a leathery texture.

and are of a brilliant scarlet color. It is a plant of easy culture, 
and will continue in bloom for a period of about two or three 
months. $o to $10 each. 
Arabis Lucida Variegata. 
The decided light variegation of this dwarf, compact, herbaceous 
perennial will render it one of the best foundations in a bedding 
group. The leaves are deep-green along the mid-rib, broad iy- 
margined, creamy-white. 37)6 cents. $8 per doz.

tropical groups, and not to be surpassed by any other plant for 
lawn decoration. Though not new, this variety is worthy of special 
attention and general cultivation. 75 cents each. $6 for 10.
