Acalypha Sanderi 
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 thick, rope-like spikes of vel- 
vety crimson flowers are gracefully 
suspended. The remarkable florifer- 
ousness and the great size of the spikes 
of flowers (compared to the plant) is 
fairly well shown in our picture. The 
plant is in flower the year round, and 
is as easily grown as a coleus. Give 
a warm temperature. 25 cts. 
Azalea, Chinese 
Beautiful plants for window or con- 
servatory, The ease with which they 
can be grown and their diversity of 
color will always keep them in public 
favor. We import large numbers of 
these delightful plants each year. 
Mention shade desired— red, pink or 
white. We can supply plants at $1. 
$1.50 and $2.50 each.

ACALYPHA SANDERI. 
Araucaria excelsa 
(NORFOLK ISLAND PINE) 
As a decorative plant for the house this 
is one of the handsomest and most service- 
able. It has deep green, feathery foliage, 
arranged in whorls, rising one above the 
other at regular distances; its symmetry 
of form, grace and beauty of foliage, are 
unequaled in the vegetable kingdom. It 
is easily grown in the house and is highly 
ornamental. Our importation of these 
this year was exceptionally large and fine 
selected stock, especially in the medium 
sized, for which there is always a demand. 
Nice plants, 12 to 15 inches high, three 
tiers, $1 each; larger plants, 18 to 20 
inches high, four and five tiers, $1.50 
each.
