SALVIA SPLEDENS, SIL- 
VER SPOT. 
(Sec cut.) In this new variety we not only liave 
an improvement in the size of the bloom and 
brilliancy of coloring over the old Scarlet Sage, 
but in addition the foliage is of moat striking 
and intense beauty. The leaves are of darkest 
green, profusely spotted with white, giving the 
plant a most wondrous beauty. The bright 
scarlet blooms in their setting of foliage form a 
rare combination of grace and beauty, never 
before found in an v plant. The plant is of very 
neat, compact habit of growth and a most pro- 
lific bloomer. It will thrive in any rich 
garden soil, but to obtain the best re- 
sults seed should be started early in the 
house and the young plants trans- 
planted to the open ground as soon as 
the weather is warm and settled. 
Seeds .sownintheopen ground will make 
handsome showy plants for the fall.

The Transvaal Arbor Plant. 
(See cut.) Among the other treasures recently in- 
troduceti from the South African veldt, this niam- 
TOOth arbor plant stands out most prominently. 
It is a hardv herbaceous perennial, growing readily 
from seed and attaining gigantic proportions m 
two or three years. Its strong, stiff leaf stalks 
often measure ft om 6 to 10 tee t in height, while its 
mammoth leaves are of most distinct and striking 
toeauty. When they first appear in the spring they 
are of a beautiful brownish red color, which grad- 
ually changes to deep olive green. They are from 
3 to 4- leet in breadth, with strong, stout mid-nbs, 
and the whole upper siirface studded with short, 
sharp spines, the whole leaf being of stout, firm 
texture withstanding wind and rain with impunity. 
These plants are fine for groups on large lawns, etc., 
or as single specimen plants, affording shade to the 
children, and with their large umbrella-like leaves 
glistening in the sun, presenting a most dazzling ap- 
pearance. When fully known this plant will become 
one of the most popular in America for decora- 
tive purposes. They require a slight protection^ ol 
leaves or strawy mamire iu the winter, which 
should be removed iu spring when frost is gone 
from the ground. Pkt. 25c. ^

grower and its tcndcncv to form numerous branches 
IS very marked. The plant continues to grow 
later iii the season than any other variety with 
which we are acquainted, and blooms corrospond- 
ingly late, thus giving its crop of flowers in late 
Autumn a season when there is always a scarcity 
of bloom. The flowers are borne on very long 
stems and are four inches and more in diameter. 
The petals are broad, long and many of them are 
more or less twisted and curled in such a manner as 
to give the blooms the appearance of large, loose 
and graceful Crvsantheniums. We ofler four sep- 
arat? colors. Piire White, Bright Crimson, Clear

Giant Curled Pansy, "Master- 
nl^z-fk " (See cut.) A remarkable new type, 
piece. which will, w ithout doubt, be warmly 
welcomed bv the numerous lovers of this beautiful 
class of flowers. The chief diiference from other 
strains consists in the form of the flowers, which is 
well shown in the illustration, the border of each 
petal being conspicuously curled or waved, giving 
the flower a doubled or globular appearance. The 
large size of the flowers and the extraordinary free- 
flowering qualities of the plant make it valuable for 
bedding purposes. Another feature of this marvel- 
ous strain is that it produces some tints o.' color not 
found in any other Pansy. Pkt. 25c, 5 pkts. $1.00.
