THK FINEST OOI.EECTION EA'ER BROUGHT TOGETHER. 
a llE followiug are the be.st and most distinct that have been sent out up to, the present. Strange 
as it may appear, Coleus have been so improved that since our last issue many of the 
older varieties have been thrown away ; for not only in colour have they been totally eclipsed, 
bnt in all other respects. So vivid are the colours of the newest ones, that no other foliage; 
plant can for a moment bear comparison. Ko gi'cenhouse in the summer season is complete without 
these charming plants, reared in a warm corner or cucumber-framc, and gradually e.vposed 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, is all that they really recpiire, with a little liquid twice a week, for no insects and very 
few diseases attack them. We know of nothing more easy and interesting than grafting several 
colours upon the old gr-een variety, Fruticosus, or the Nettle Geranium. We have seen twelve grafted 
upon one, and it was one of the most striking objects wo ever saw, and would certainly have excited, 
the admiration of any one. Heat and moisture arc the main things. 
Brilliant colours and new shaped leaves arc coming from all parts of the world. AV'e now devote a 
100 feet house to their growth, which is alone worth a visit to Swanley, no matter the season. Plants, 
rooted cutting.', and cuttings, sent by iiost to all parts of Europe. Seed, 2s. 6d. per packet.
