of rapid growth, with heart-shaped 
leaves and rose-colored, Gloxinia-

fine foliage, with its beautiful flow-

it has no equal. Does not go well by mail. Price 10 As. 
t,otiis Pelyorensis (Coral Gem). This charming plant seems to be unknown in this country, yet 
it is so well thought of abroad that a prominent horticultural journal color-plated it. TAe Garden says of 
it: “ Its slender branching habit is most striking, and the sil- 
ver}' foliage even more so. Without its flowers it might almost 
be described as a Silvery Asparagus.” The bright coral-red 
flowers, measuring two inches in length, are really beautiful; 
its drooping habit al-so makes it useful for hanging-baskets. 
Easily grown. (See cut.) Price 10 As.

(rlechoma Hederacea var. (Nepeta). A variegated form of the common ground Ivy, which is 
prettily marked with pure white on a bright green ground. It is hardy and of vigorous growth like the 
parent variety, but unlike it, the leaves of this form have a refreshing fragrance similar to Mint. It will no 
doubt become one of our most useful plants for festooning work, such as drooping from hanging baskets, 
vases, fancy pots, etc., etc.; its graceful, rapid growth rendering it unequalled for this purpose, while we 
have no doubt it will also be largely used in cemeteries to cover graves, as it is entirely hardy and we think 
more ornamental than anything in use for that purpose at present. Price 10 As. each ; 3 for 25 As.
