ACALYPHA SANDERI. 
Without a doubt the most sensational new plant introduced for many years, and 
one of the most striking flowering ornamental plants we have ever seen. It is of 
strong, free growth, with large dark green leaves, 
from each axil of which, one to two feet long and near- 
ly one inch thick, rope-like spikes of velvety crimson 
flowers are gracefully suspended. In flower the year 
round and is as easily grown, simply requiring a 
warm temperature to develop its full beauty. (See 
cut.) Price 25 dls. 
PENTAS LANCEOLATA. 
A pretty half-shrubby greenhouse plant, not un- 
like a Bouvardia in general habit and appearance, but 
flowering much more profusely and continuously. It 
may be planted in the open border during the sum- 
mer, but it is valuable chiefly as a winter flowering 
pot plant for the window or conservatory, for which 
purpose it is especially well suited, being in flower all 
the time. The pure white flowers are produced in flat heads of fifteen to thirty flowers 
each, like Bouvardia, but much larger, and last a long time. Price 20 dts. each.
