It would be difficult to find a more unique flowering plant 
in this. Unlike the ordinary A but i Ion of scraggy growth 
*rj it is very compact and short jointed, making a very 
Wf neat pot plant. The flowers are the most beautiful 
we have seen among Abut Hons, being very large yet 
1571 short and beautifully cupped, and of the most lovely 
(ytfpale satin-pink color imaginable. It produces its 
flowers by the score both summer and winter. It is 
tttF ^ safe to say that this plant, will produce five times as 
iny flowers as any other Abutilon under the same condi- 
ins. 20c. each; 3 for 50c.

England at $2.00 each, and to which was awarded the gold 
medal offered by the King of Belgium at the Ghent Exhibi¬ 
tion. It forms a compact hush 18 inches high, with leaves 8 
to 9 inches long, 3 or 4 inches wide, and of the most intense 
metallic purple color, shading into light rose with a light 
green margin, a combination unapproached by any other 
plant. The flowers are a lovely violet-blue, very beantiful. 
of a Gloxinia-like appearance. Kor a bedding plant it has 
few equals. In an exposed position its foliage colors highly, 
and is superbly ornamental. Creates a sensation wherever 
seen. 25c. each; 3 for 60c.; 12 for $2.00.

This is something that always interests the children and 
the older folks alike. There is a shrunken rounded ball of 
tightly folded leaflets, dry and dead. We drop it in a bowl

is floating in the dish a beautiful metallio-green plant; a 
great, loose, expanded rosette of fine fern-like leaves, both 
odd and beautiful. This experiment can be repeated many 
times, the plant, curling tightly together when dry. and ex¬ 
panding when soaked in water. 15c. each ; 3 for 30c,
