CARimNE BEAUTY. (Ruellia fiflakoyana.) 
says oftufs p < ]anJ e as A ronoW S 0 : C ° f horticulturists of Fra ™ e > Perbaps of the world, 
— a S race fulj. branching subject, one of the principal attractions of which is a beautiful 
velvety foliage with the upper surface of a rich olive green, shading to purple, relieved with 
prominent silvery white midrib and veins. The under side, however, is a bright purplish wine color. 
- J'I, l l iS f P J e M i ,° us flTnisition is already in great favor with its lucky possessors. It is, indeed,one 
™? st t)n ! 1 ant flowering plants known, specimens having been shown measuring SO inches 
ac oss and carrying more than 300 flowers open at one time. These are of large size and of a bright 
carimue red, and not only do they appear in the spring, but also most abundantly in the autumn. It 
is an elegant plant lor jordiniers also, and can therefore be highiy recommended, especially since it 
is of the easiest management.” ’ y 1 
To such high recommendation I scarcely need add a word. Grown indoors in a shady place, 
the colors ot its leaves and flowers are even brighter than in tile open ground. It begius to bloom 
when only iu 2 inch pots, and may almost be said to flower forever afterwards. At the recent grand 
international exhibition at Ghent it received many favorable comments. I am glad to be the first to 
otter it in tins country.
