COLEUS,—Continued. 
The Coleus are unsurpassed as ornamental-leaved 
plants. The beauty of the plant consists entirely in 
the leaf, the flowers are of no consequence. When 
planted in ribbon lines with other foliage plants, the 
effect is very pleasing. The varieties are almost with¬ 
out number, each season brings forth new ones.
