COLEUS. 
The Coleus is the best and cheapest ornamental¬ 
leaved plant we have for ornamental bedding, in what 
is sometimes called the carpet style. A few dozens of 
these plants will make a bed of which no one will have 
any cause to be ashamed. There is such an endless 
variety in their colors and markings that, with a little 
taste in planting varieties, the most gratifying results 
can be obtained at a trifling cost. Plants should be set 
about a foot apart, so that when the size of the bed is as¬ 
certained, it is easy to figure how many plants are 
needed of each kind for a row. Each2occnts; doz.,$2.

CYCLAMEN. 
The Cyclamen is particularly adapted for window- 
culture, and will give more flowers with less trouble than 
almost any plant we are acquainted with. The colors 
are usually white, tipped at the base with rosy purple. 
Use a small pot, and place the crown of the bulb just 
above the surface of the soil. Keep the plants cool un¬ 
til the leaves are well grown. When the flower-buds 
begin to rise on the foot-stalks, remove to a sunny shelf, 
where they will soon show bloom. Place as near the 
glass as possible. After the blooming season (generally 
two or three months,) is over, gradually withhold water.
