many flowers in the course of a year as one plant of 
this new dwarf variety ; a large plant is hardly ever

and snowy white in color. All in all, it is one of the 
most desirable plants we ever offered. 50 cents.

any other plant. Its varied tints of crimson, gold, 
bronze and green, richly blotched, veined or marbled,

really a bouquet in itself. 25 cents.
