indoor decoration, also for drying for winter use.

NEW TRADESCANTIA 
Four years ago we received from the Department of Agriculture of 
Washington, D. C., a collection of beautiful dwarf growing Tradescantia. 
From the several varieties sent us we selected five. best and most dis- 
tinct colors, and are happy to be able to offer them this year. 
They bloom from spring throughout the summer until early winter. All 
they ask for is a small space where they may be permitted to grow. 
Insects do not bother them. They are permanent, requiring no par- 
ticular care, and at all times their foliage is very decorative. All grow 
about 12 inches high.
