Perilla cHankinensts. J- 
The foliage of this plant is exceedingly elegant, 
of a very dark purple color, and produces a charming 
contrast, growing freely in any soil. Pkt., 100 seeds, 4c. 
Honesty Lunatia Annua. Striped- 
Leaved. 
(Pennlsetum Kuppelianum.) 
An annual which produces plumes by midsummer. 
This is undoubtedly one of the most ornamental decor¬ 
ative grasses ever introduced, and will be found as useful 
for room, hall, or table decoration as many a palm, while 
haying the advantage of rapid and vigorous growth, and 
being easier to manage. 
Its graceful, narrow curving leaves produced by the 
hundreds in succession, are overtopped by most elegant 
purple feather plumes a foot long, which by themselves 
are quite ornamental as vase decorations and can also 
be used for dry grass bouquets. 
Sown as late as March, it makes a bold plant, unlike 
any other in the garden, always a feature of attraction. 
If grown in pots, no one could wish for anything more 
graceful. This novelty has been greatly admired wher- 
ever shown. Pkt., 5c. 
, , This plant is at once unique, ornamental, and 
very beautiful. Therounded,globe-likeformsresemblea 
delicate evergreen highly colored. The plants branch 
freely, and the stemsare clothed with slender light-green 
eaves. Early in the fall the ends of the shoots are thickly 
set with small, bright-scarlet dowers, the bushy plants 
esembling balls of fire. The plants are equally showy 
planted singly to show the round, ball-like form on all 
sides or grown in continuous rows or hedges; a very 
striking plant. Large pkt., 5c.
