NEW AND RARE STOVE PLANTS. 
BOUGAINVILLEA GLABRA. 
This elegant plant bears freely a profusion of pretty bright rosy lilac or pink flower-like involucres. 
This beautiful species is admirably adapted for pot culture, as it blooms much more freely in a 
small state than B. speciosa ; when grown as a specimen it is well adapted for exhibition purposes, 
and will thrive in the lower temperature of a warm greenhouse or conservatory. 
Price If. 6 tl. and 2f. 6 d. each. 
BOUGAINVILLEA LATERITIA. 
A showy climber, which can be also trained and grown as a specimen exhibition plant. Like the 
other Bougainvilleas, its great beauty consists in the floral leaves or bracts which accompany the 
flowers, but instead of being mauve, as in the other kinds hitherto bloomed in this country, they 
are of a salmony pink, and consequently a very distinct and desirable variety. 
Price 2s. 6 d., 3s. 6 d., 5s., and 7s. 6 d.; specimens 1 1 guineas each. 
BOUGAINVILLEA SPECTABILIS. 
A magnificent oool stove or warm conservatory sub-climbing shrub, producing an exquisitely 
beautiful and graceful effect during the earliest spring months by its thousands of elegant rosy 
tinted mauve coloured sepals, or flower-like involucres. 
Price Is. 6 d. and 2s. 6 d. each.
