MARVEL OF PERU. Nat. Ord., Nyctaginiacece. 
The Marvel of Peru (Mirabilis Jalapa ), also popularly known as the Four-o’clock, has 
long been a garden favorite, and is, when properly treated, one of the most ornamental 
flowering-plants for the garden; resembling, in its habit of growth and the form of its bright 
and varied colored flowers, the beautiful Chinese Azaleas. Treat as a half-hardy annual; 
setting the plants two or three feet apart in good rich soil, in an open sunny position, and 
they will not fail to produce a very fine effect. Height about two feet, and of handsome 
branching habit. See also Collections.
