and heavy. When cut and placed in moist soil little plants start from the notches In them, 
and make strong plants in a very short time. When in bloom it presents a very odd and 
interesting appearance; first, the long, green, red-striped pods are formed, and through 
this breaks a pointed tube of a dull red shape. The blossoms, as shown in the illustration 
are produced m great profusion, and droop from the branches. Price 20c. each, 3 for 50c! 
BEGONIA MANICATA AUREA. 
The past season this splendid variety was illustrated on our colored plate and 
we consider it one of the most beautiful Begonias ever introduced. The leaves are 
large and handsomely marked, each leaf being shaded with green, yellow, light 
bronze, and, in fact, almost every conceivable color. For pot culture it is most de- 
sirable, as it will thrive in almost any situation, requiring less attention than any 
of this class of plants. As an ornamental plant for astanditis unsurpassed. Price 
30c. each, 2 for 50c. 
GIANT GHOST 
FLOWER, OR 
BRUGMANSIA. 
It is simply impossible to 
describe the beauty of this 
wonderful plant. Words 
fail to convey any idea of 
its magtiificcnce. It never 
fails to please thepnrchaser. 
The flowers are drooping, 
bell-shapcd, over a foot in 
lenj^th, and abotjt nine 
inches in width, of acreamy 
■white color and very fra- 
grant. The striking appear- 
ance thii plant makes on 
the lawn when in full bioom 
cannot be correctly de- 
scribed. It blooms very 
freely, and it is a common 
sight to see fifteen ortwcnty 
of the immense white blos- 
soms open at one time. It 
is a hard-wooded plant of 
rapid growth, but seldom 
attains a height over five 
feet. Tliefact that it will 
bloom at almost any time J 
of the year is another im- ^ 
portant point. Itis equally 
desirable for growing in 
the window or conserva- 
tory, or out of doors during 
the summer months. PncCf
