DESCRIPTION. 
Fine summer blooming greenhouse plants. 
The flowers are of great brilliancy. They 
succeed in any soil and are adapted 
for cutting. 
Very striking plants on account of 
their beautiful varied colored foliage 
or peculiar mode of bloom. The 
leaves are always largest when the 
plants are grown on rich soil, but 
rather poor soil enhances the coloring.

in a hot-bed, and transplanted to place 
where wanted for effect.

) bouquets. 
( Gather before fully expanded to pre¬ 
serve for winter. 
For veranda, foliage beautiful. 
The well-known Boston Ivy. 
lowers somewhat like Forget-me-not. 
ery ornamental and of long duration 
when cut. 
Dense, silky, with bright white hairs.
