NEW COLEUS— Continued. 
TURBAN, in this variety crimson is the pervading colour of the leaves, while in the centre the mid- 
rib and veins are marked out by a feathered bar of purplish maroon, and the margin defined by a 
thin wire edge of bright green. 
VICTORY, the leaves of this attractive variety are of a rich chocolate colour with a remarkably 
brilliant feathered centre of magenta crimson, and narrow bright green edge. 
YELLOW GEM, in this distinct form, the leaves are clear yellow with ivory white veins, the margin 
and little bullate patches between the ribs being of a bright green colour, which produces a pretty 
contrast. Received a Certificate from the Royal Botanic Society.

NEW COLEUS. 
The following - are very novel and handsome, quite distinct in character to anything 1 
yet offered. For Illustration, vide page X. 
AMAZEMENT, in this variety the leaves are very curiously cut in a laciniate manner, so that the 
parts often seem to hang together almost without support ; they are of a chocolate colour, the centre 
and bullate prominences being of a bright maroon crimson, while the tips are usually but not always 
green. Extremely curious from its comical cutting. 
BRILLIANT, the leaves of this variety are deeply toothed, the central portion is bright crimson 
lake, shaded with maroon crimson, exterior to which occur a series of yellow blotches, various in size 
and shape, while the tips of the marginal lobes are a greenish colour, all the colours being very 
intense. 
CAPTIVATION, the deeply-toothed leaves are in this variety bright green, with a feathered centre 
of sulphur yellow, which is just flushed with a pale tint of rosy purple, the yellow extending more or 
less towards the edge in a series of reticulated markings. 
CHELSEA BEAUTY, the most beautiful of the Coleuses ; it has deeply and broadly toothed leaves, 
the mid-rib and principal veins of which are bright crimson lake, between which lie blocks of rich 
dark velvety maroon, which extend half way up the teeth, and along this portion are bordered with 
white, the tips being green and forming a pretty outer fringe to the other rich and attractive colours. 
CHERUB, the leaves here are small and very deeply peetinatoly toothed, with an enlarged terminal 
lobe ; the colour is a pale reddish maroon, with the ribs of a darker maroon, the extreme edge being 
yellow passing here and there to green. Truly elegant from its small size and regular style ol 
cutting. 
Price 7 s. 6 d. each; the collection office varieties for £\ 10s.
