THE FINEST COLLECTION EVER BROUGHT TOGETHER. 
ifrlglHE following are the best and most distinct that have been sent out up to the present. No 
other foliage ]>lant can for a moment bear comparison with them, so vivid are the colours 
of some varieties. No greenhouse in the summer season is complete without these charming 
plants; rear them in a warm corner of a stove or cucumber-frame, and gradually expose 
them as the heat of the season increases ; give them a shift as they become pot-bound, and a few 
stakes to tie them into a pretty shape, with a little liquid manure twice a week, which is all they really 
require, for no insects and very few diseases attack tiiem. Heat and moisture, and root-bound plants 
near the glass, are the main things to insure good high colours. 
We devote a 100-feet house to their growth, which is alone worth a visit to Swaiiley. Plants, 
rooted cuttings, and cuttings, sent by post to all parts of Europe. Seed, Is. Gd. and 2s. 6(/. per pkt. 
The following variety is very distinct and pretty, shape of loaf quite away from any other ; 
LA TETE D'OR— Lovely deep green, tinted pink, with a black blotch in the centre of the leaf ; 
this, with its exquisitely pretty shaped leaf, renders it a most distinct kind. Gd. 
NEW COLEUJS. 
As lovely as many of the old varieties are, the following will be found very effective and 
useful in producing a display in both tlie conservatory or greenhouse : — 
FAITH— Large bold leaf, vivid green, with striped and blotched luaikings of the brightest 
velvety hue; makes a handsome plant. 
HOPE— Medium-size foliage, broad edging of a pleasing shade of green; centre of leaves a 
bright rosy-pink shade. The combination of colours and its neat growth makes it very attractive. 
CHARITY— Somewhat similar to the first-mentioned ; the foliage is not quite so large, but very 
decidedly marked with bright rosy-lake and creamy- white; very striking and effective. All that 
have seen it remark what ex<iuisite foliage it produces. 
DISTINCTION— A rich-colonred free-growing variety, bold foliage, of a blackish maroon 
colour.
