ANTHURIUM GRANDIS. 
A strikingly beautiful ornameutal stove plant introduced by the Royal 
Horticultural Society from South America, through their collector Mn. 
Weik. Its large cordate leaves in mature specimens are about two feet 
in diameter ; the ground colour is of a velvety olive green intersected 
with whitish ribs and yellowish tinted veins. When in its young state 
the leaves ai-e of a coppery pink hue, gradually changing into a beautiful 
green as the plant acquires age. 
This is a most desirable acquisition to our fine foliaged plants, and 
undoubtedly the best new ornamental plant of the season. It will 
prove an excellent plant for exhibition purposes. 
This plant has also been distributed under the names of A. magnifieum 
and A. cordifoUum. 
Price 42s. and 63s. each. 
AUBRETIA PURPUREA VARIEGATA. 
This remarkable and highly interesting novelty is a well defined 
variegated foirn of the well-known Auhretia purpurea-, every leaf is 
broadly margined with white, thus making it an extremely effective 
object, indeed, thehannony of its pretty lavender blue flowers and neat 
variegation makes a most pleasing impression. 
Being quite hardy this will bo a useful plant for spring gardening, rock- 
work, &c., and unquestionably one of the prettiest novelties of the season. 
A well-executed drawing of it, by Anueews, can be seen at my 
Establishment. 
The entire stock has been purchased fi'om Mr. D. Woon, Brough, 
Yorkshire. 
Price 5s. each.

and as they become matiued change to a bright green groimd colour, 
with borders on each side of the mid-rib and veins of silvery whiteness. 
The under surface of the leaves is bright pui-ple crimson, so that with 
all these coloui-s the plant produces an effect of the most pleasing- 
description.
