ELLIS BBOTHEBS’ GATALOGUE. 
Impatiens, Sultani (sometimes called 
“ Patience Plant **). This is one of the most 
distinct and beautiful of flowering plants of 
recent introduction, either as a winter blooming 
pot plant, or for the border in summer. It is of 
compact, neat habit of growth, with good con- 
stitution, and a perpetual bloomer. The flowers 
are of a brilliant rosy scarlet, peculiarly distinct, 
but most effective hue, about one and one-half 
inches in diameter, and are produced singly or 
t\vos and threes from the axis of the leaves, 
especially toward the summit of the stems, but 
so freely that a well grown specimen appears to 
be quite a ball of fire. We recommend this 
highly. (See cut.) Price lo dts. 
Impatiens, ^ueen Corola. Forabloom- 
ing plant that will flower the full 365 days in the 
year, and thrive well as a window plant, none 
equal the well known “Impatiens Sultani.’* 
This new sort is identical in gro^vth and free 
blooming quality, but having flowers in color a 
beautiful salmon, suffused with rose, base of 
lower petals blotched white, stamens and pistils 
garnet and purple. The whole flower irregu- 
larly burnished, as in tinsel. Price 10 tfts. 
Ifinum Tri^ynum. A native of East Indies. This beautiful showy old plant is well deserving of 
a place in every collection. It is often called a greenhouse plant, but under such conditions its beauties are 
never developed ; it should be grown during summer in open border, taken up in the fall and re-potted. It 
is of dwarf, free growth, and the flowers are large, bright golden yellow, and disposed in large racemes. 
When well treated, they will produce their gay blossoms the entire winter. Price 15 <fts. 
Orange, Otaheite (new from Japan). A new variety which is suitable for pot culture, and which will 
with anyone prove one of the most desirable pot plants it is possible to possess. It is not an uncommon 
thing to sec little cutting plants five or six inches in height, full of bloom, and even bearing one or Uvo 
medium-sized oranges. The fruit at their best are not more than half the size of an ordinary orange, but 
are very bright and beautiful in color and delicious in quality; but it is for its flowers more than its fruit 
which commends it to general cultivation. When it blooms it is so full that it seems to be all flowers. 
The pure waxy while blossoms emit a delicate, yet powerful fragrange, which is surpassed by no other 
flower. Price, i-year plants, 20 dts. ; 3-year plants, 50 and 75 < 5 ls. 
Orange, Trifoliate. The most hardy of the Orange family, and will stand in open ground, except 
in extreme North. Price, 2-year pot plants, 35 As. 
Swainsonia, GaUgifolia Alba. Pure white. De- 
sirable ever-blooming plant with flowers produced in sprays 
of from twelve to twenty flowers each, the individual blooms 
resembling a Sweet Pea. As a decorative plant for the 
window or conservatory we know of nothing that will give 
as much satisfaction as the Swainsonia. Its easy culture, 
growing in almost any light position, its freedom of bloom, 
rarely ever being out of bloom, and the grace and beauty of 
the flower and entire plant will undoubtedly make this one 
of the most popular plants in cultivation. (Sec cut.) 
Price 15 As. 
Stevia Nana, An improvement on “ Stevia Com- 
pacta;” similar in every respect except in height, which is 
considerably less than the old variety, which makes it more 
desirable. In full bloom at Christmas. Price 10 As. 
Strobilanthes, Dyerianus. The undulation on the 
surface of the foliage is furnished with a blueish metallic 
hue, shading into light rose with a light green margin. It 
surpasses the finest Coleus or Begonia in the exquisite 
coloring of the leaves, besides which the racemes of violet 
blossoms with which the plant Is covered in mid-winter greatly enhances its beauty; a valuable bedding 
and decorative plant. Price 10 As.
