BULL’S IMPERIAL CARNATIONS. 
8 Coleus thyrsoideus. 
Award of Merit, Royal Horticultural Society. 
A robust and exceedingly handsome species of Coleus, recently introduced from South Central 
Africa. It foi-ms a rather tall much-branched perennial undenshrub 2 to 3 feet high, the branches 
terminating in erect panicle-like racemes of ten to fifteen bright blue flowers with a short throat 
compressed laterally, and a two-lipped mouth. Its merits as a horticultural plant consist in its 
panicle-like (thyrsoid) racemes of flowers produced from November to Febmary, and m the facility 
with which it can be cultivated. It grows freely in an intermediate temperature, in other respects 
requiring the same treatment as the varieties of Coleus lilumei grown for their foliage.

considerable substance, with a strikingly distinct crest or feather of the same colour upon the 
face of each petal. 2«. (irf. per packet. 
19 Feathered Cyclamen, “Rose Pioneer.” 
A pretty and most attractive rose-coloured variety of the foregoing, the petals being ornamented 
with the same coloured feathering. 2s. dd. per packet.
