. New and rare plants, bulbs and seeds. Nursery stock New Jersey Woodstown Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental Catalogs; Shrubs Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Bulbs (Plants) Catalogs. RUELLIA MAKOYANA. (Carmine Blossoms.) A new Brazilian plant of easiest growth for the house as well as the gar- den, forming in a short time specimens measuring two to three feet across, with over three hundred flowers open at one time. Leaves velvety, dark olive green, with prominent silvery white midrib and veins; underpart pur- plish wine color and very ornamental. Flowers large, brilliant carmine, pro- duced even on plants in 2-inch pots, and almost during the entire year. Grows vigorously in shady places and would probably make a fine Easter plant. We positively recommended it as one of our finest introductions of recent years. It was exhibited ajt the great floral display of Ghent in grand specimens, measuring nine feet around. Will grow far easier than a geranium, but likes somewhat peaty soil or charcoal drainage. This is i another of the star plants introduced by us in this coun- try. Price 15c, four for 50c. Ruellia Makoyana has been color-plated by the Revue Horticole, and rec- ommended as one of the very best house plants for the public which is never out of flower summer or winter. BROWALLIA SPECIOSA MAJOR. (NEW GIANT VIOLET.) An easy plant to grow and which will make much finer specimens than shown in our cut. The flowers are of large size, fully 2 inches, and vary in color from light blue to deep violet blue, with a large white eye—a rare color among house plants. Grand for pots or hanging baskets.
