NEW PLANTS. 
COLEUS PICTUS. 
f NEW and distinct species, from the Duke of York Island, sent out by William 
Bull, London, to dealers only, in 1877. Its divers colors .are curiously 
blended and very effective, the leaves, which have a green ground, being 
more or less but variably Hushed with yellow in irregular patches ; the leaves 
are also marked in the direction of the veins with longitudinal bars, varying 
in size and outline, of a rich chocolate brown, which, where it meets the parts flushed 
with yellow, assumes a reddish-brown hue. The marginal teeth are bordered with 
fchocolate color. These peculiar markings, and the unusual form of the leaves, give 
the plant a bizarre and curious appearance. 50c. each. 
COLEUS MULTLCOLOR. 
Another remarkable species from the Solomon Islands, sent out by Veitch & Sons, 
London. Foliage bold and deeply laciniated, curiously marked and spotted with 
nearly all the colors of the rainbow, on a chocolate ground, (instead of green, as in 
C. pictus .) Sometimes the entire leaf becomes bright red. With the introduction of 
these new species we shall expect a new race of hybrid Coleus, of still more remark- 
able forms and colors than any heretofore obtained; and we hope and trust they will 
prove more constant and satisfactory than the old Chameleon, Shah, etc., which we 
are almost ashamed to sell. 50c. each. 
COLEUS ELDORADO. 
A fine green-house hybrid, with rich, yellow, smooth foliage, a narrow crimson 
edge and mid-rib. 25 cents each. 
AMERICAN LOTUS. 
We are now prepared to furnish seed of this choice and rare aquatic plant, 
Nelumbeum Luteum, (the American Lotus,) collected in Northern Indiana and Mich- 
igan, at 50 cents a package.
