♦MIRABILIS VISCOSA—eobx(8)36. Ten-o’clock Flower. 
Airy, diffusive panicles of bloom above a dusky boskage of 
heart-shaped leaves. Daybreak finds the plants filled with 
flowers, individually not large, but with coloring brilliant to 
excess of rose-purple intensity. Along with the true flowers 
are innumerable open calyces of brown-buff, crinkly and 
silken, bloom-simulates so true in appearance that the effect 
is of plants loaded with two kinds of flowers at one time. 
Soon after ten o’clock each morning, the true blossoms 
flutter to the ground, and for the rest of the day the false- 
flowers rule, giving the plants the pensive attractiveness of 
autumn. Next morning though, and each morning for many 
months, their spring is renewed in a fresh burst of Tyrian 
richness. Pkt. 25c. 
OFFER 81B7—One pkt. each of above for 45c.

white star-blossoms is attractive. Pkt. 15c. 
♦MOLUCELLA LAEVIS—eobx(8)30. Quaint is the word 
for Molucella. We think of Quaker maidens when we see 
it, demure faces framed in gray bonnets, yet it comes from 
Molucca, a land where, if reports be true, costumes would 
scarce meet approval of the Society of Friends. The 
Salvia-like flowers are white, with violet-tinted hoods, but 
each is so hidden in its enormous shell-form calyx that 
it can make but slight showing. The calyces, thin and 
reticulate, are carried in close, verticillate whorls, piled high 
to form long “hyacinth” spikes of delicate, pearly greenness, 
like sun through sea-water; the whole in effect more concho- 
logical than floral. Of easiest handling. Pkt. 15c.
