COLEUS VEBSCHAFFELTI. 
This truly grand and magnificent species, imported from Java, is unquestionably 
the most strikingly beautiful plant that has been introduced this season. As a 
variegated or ornamental plant it stands unrivalled ; and from the case with which 
it may be cultivated, will doubtless be grown in almost every collection of orna- 
mental plants. It succeeds well with almost any treatment in the summer, and 
during the winter merely requires a warm greenhouse. The foliage is elegantly 
laciniate, and on young plants deep crimson, margined with bright green j but as 
the plants attain size and age, the leaves lose the green, and become entirely of a 
glowing crimson ; and then their splendour is such, that they give the idea of the 
richest silk velvet, so lustrous is their appearance. The plant is of very free 
growth, and easily makes a good specimen. 10s. 6d. each. The price of handsome 
specimens can bo had on application. 
In connection with M. Ambroise Verschaffelt, W. B. has purchased the entire stock.

ment : the variety now offered is a thoroughly shrubby, useful, bedding kind, of free 
growth and excellent habit. Its dense masses of flower are produced on stiff foot-
