BRAZILIAN PLUnE PLANT. 
Description It is a native of Brazil, and the orig- 
inal stot^i was first brought to thi.s country by a gen- 
tleman from Rio de Janeii-o. The plant Ls of the 
easiest possible culture, and seems to do equally well 
in all kuids of soil and in any situation, requiring but 
very little attention; it Is, in fact, one of the few 
plants that everyone can gi-ow successfully. It is a 
strong, rapid grower, and throws long shoots, each of 
which is tipijcd with the beautiful pink, plurae-UUe 
flowers, the ends of every petal drooping in a most 
charming manner. In appearance the blossoms re- 
semble somewhat a mamiiKjth pink cbrysanthemum, 
but are three or four times ius large and the jMitals 
broader and of a different formation. The blossoms 
so resemble the chrysanthemum that the name of 
-African Chrysanthemum" was suggested by a jiariy 
who saw the plant in lull bloom when visiting our 
conservatories the past season. Strong, thrifty plants 
that will bloom in a short time, 35c each.

door culture. They are perfectly hardy,

bor very early in the season. The vines

traine<l over and about a door or win- 
dow make an ornament much admired, 
while its many clusters of delicate 
white flowers send out an amount ot 
fragrance that Is truly wonderful. It

emies, and is not affected by drought, 
because it roots so deeply. Our price
