BIRD OF PARADISE, [Poinciana Giliesi] 
Here is a rare novelty, a very interesting plant. The foliage of this new 
plant reminds one of a very delicate Acacia. The flower is a golden yellow, 
measuring nearly 2!4 inches across, of beautiful shape as shown in the 
illustration. They are produced in very large trusses, and the most beau¬ 
tiful part of the flowers are the very large pistils, which spread out in a 
fan-like form, of bright crimson color. It blooms in great profusion the 
first year, if sown early in the spring. Can be grown inside in winter and 
outside in summer. Will produce large plant 3 to 5 feet tall. We first offered 
it seven years ago and the demand has been something unusual, simply ex¬ 
hausting our entire stock of seeds some time before the season was over, 
but we hope to supply all orders this season, as we have arranged for a 
greater supply than heretofore. A packet of the seed should be included
