Acalypha Sanderi (Chenille Plant) 
(See cut. ) Another year's experience with this beautiful novelty 
only confirms the opinion, previously expr^-sstid by ua, that it is 
one of the most valuat)le pot plants of recent introduction. It is 
a native of the South Bea Lslands, and may well be called a fore- 
runner of the rare and lieautiful tropical plants from our now 
po.s3essions in the Philippines. It is of easy and rapid growth and 
blooms continuously. The plantisof branching habit, healthy 
foliage and the flowers are most remarkal)le. The flower spikes 
whieli appear in pairs from the axits of the leaves, grow from 
two to three feet in length. They are of bright crimson 
color, drooping and mixing among the green foUage with 
charming effect. It is extensively used asa pot and \vindow plant 
everywhere. For bright and curious effect it has no equal. 
Wherever the plant has Ix-en exhibited in this country and in 
Europe it has attracted universal attention and admiration. 
Our illustration is very true, though no picture can do justice to 
th<' elegance and l>eauty of this wonderful plant. It grows as 
l asily as a coleas, only riHjuiring a warm temperature to develop 
its full beauty. Strong plants 35c each, 3 for $1.00.
