PENLOPETES PHOENICIA. 
A very unique and ornamental flowering 
shrub-like plant from Japan. The few seeds 
received by us for trial were sown in the open 
ground last May. and they produced plants of 
many branches, about 2 feet high, that bore at the 
axil of each leaf a saucer-shaped flower about 1 inch 
across, of glowing pomegranate red. The plants 
were gemmed from base to summit with these showy blos¬ 
soms from August until killed by frost. If grown in pots,we be¬ 
lieve it would be an effective winter house plant.. (See cut.) Pkt.'20
