Coleus 
Everyone loves the bright colors of the Coleus, 
or “Foliage Plant”. We have a large assortment of 
excellent colors, all grown in pots and shipped to you 
in the soil in which they were grown. Small-leaved 
varieties bring out their best color in full sunlight, 
while the large-leaved Coleus require semi-shade to 
prevent fading of color.

carpet-bedding. It grows very compact, seldom higher than 
6 inches. Plant seems to consist of a mass of short, narrow, 
colored leaves. It grows best in full sunlight.

Sensitive Plant | 
(Mimosa pudica) 
Truly an unusual plant. A_ slight touch or a sudden 
gust of wind causes the leaves all over the plant to fold up, 
reopening in 10 to 20 minutes. Expect this plant to reach 
you with leaves folded and drooping, due to its sensitivity. 
Unwrap, give it some water if dry, place where the leaves 
will not touch anything, and soon you will see them lift into 
their natural position. This plant is worth the price merely 
to be used as a toy or plaything. Grows best in a warm, 
shady location. 
25¢ each; 12 for $2.50
