THE FINEST COLLECTION EVER BROUGHT TOGETHER. 
(p«HE following are the best and most distinct that have been sent out up to the present. No 
other foliage plant can for a moment bear comparison with them, so vivid arc the colours 
— of some varieties. No greenhouse in the summer season is complete without these charming 
plants; rear them in a warm corner of a stove or cucumber-frame, and gradually expose 
them as the heat of the season increases; give them a shift as they become pot-bound, and a few 
stakes to tie them into a pretty shape, with a little liquid manure twice a week, which is all they really 
require, for no insects and very few diseases attack the m. Heat and moisture, and root-bound plants 
near the glass, are the main things to insure good high colours. 
We devote a 100-feet house to their growth, which is alone worth a visit to Swan ley. Plants, 
rooted cuttings, and cuttings, sent by post to all parts of Europe. Seed, Is. Gd. and 2s. 67. per pkt. 
The following variety is very distinct and pretty, shape of leaf quite away from any other :— 
LA TETE D OR—Lovely deep green, tinted pink, with a black blotch in the centre of the leaf ; 
this, with its exquisitely pretty shaped leaf, renders it a most distinct kind. 97. 
NEW COLEUS. 
As lovely as many of the old varieties are, the following will be found very effective and 
useful in producinga display in both the conservatory or greenhouse:— 
FAITH—Large bold leaf, vivid green, with striped aud blotched markings of the brightest 
velvety hue; makes a handsome plant. 
HOPE— Medium-size foliage, broad edging of a pleasing shade of green; centre of leaves a 
bright rosy-pink shade. The combination of colours and its neat growth makes it very attractive. 
CHARITY—Somewhat similar to the first-mentioned; the foliage is not quite so large, but very 
decidedly marked with bright rosy-lake aud creamv-white; very striking and effective. All that 
have seen it remark what exquisite foliage it produces. 
DISTINCTION—A rich-coloured free-growing variety, bold foliage, of a blackish maroon 
colour.
