COLEUS. 
The Coleus will give more pleasure at less cost than 
any other foliage plant. Its various-tinted leaves of 
crimson, gold, bronze and green, richly blotched, 
veined or marbled, produce wonderfully brilliant 
effects. We grow the cream of standard varieties, and 
a collection of 20 new sorts, including ever}' imaginable 
variegation and variety of color. 5 cts. each, 7 for 25 
cts., 30 for $i. 
FANCY-LEAVED CALADIUMS. 
We have a fine collection of first-class, distinct, bril- 
liantly marked varieties. They are especially valu- 
able for decorating conservatories and window-boxes 
and as specimen plants. Most of the varieties succeed 
finely in partly shaded warm outdoor borders, in light, 
rich soil, if planted early, in summer. The leaves are 
never as large as in C. esculentum , but the brilliant 
cardinal -red, cream, pin£, and various shades of green 
displayed in the veinings and blotchings of the leaves 
cannot be obtained in any other class of plants. For 
arranging floral baskets or table decorations, the 
leaves are quite as handsome as any flower. 20 cts. ea.
