ERYTHRINA. 
The Erythrina, or Coral Plant, is a fine, robust plant, 
with broad leaves and large red flowers, an inch or 
two in length, and growing in long racemes, sometimes 
ten or twelve inches in length. The roots arc thick and 
fleshy, but not exactly tuberous, and may be kept ir. 
a pit or cellar during the winter. Plants put out in the 
spring will flower during the summer, and before hard , 
frosts should be taken up, cut back and stored away 
until the following spring.

FERNS. 
These beautiful plants are now quite generally culti¬ 
vated. Some of them do exceedingly well with room 
culture, especially the Pleris; the beautiful Japanese 
Climbing Fern, Lygodium scandens; the Sword Fern, 
Nephrolepis ; and the graceful Adiantums. All do well 
in ferneries or Wardian cases. In summer they should 
be set out of doors on the shady side of the house or 
fence. Shower them frequently both in summer and 
winter. We have many very excellent varieties of Ferns 
not named below ; plants 25 cents each. 
Lygodium scandens, a beautiful climbing Fern

able for house culture, especially for hanging bas¬ 
kets 50 cents each.
