Bicolor—A fine ornamental variety about a foot high and of close, compact growth. Leaves orbicular, ground color pale glaucous- green, with irregular-shaped blotches of pol- ished dark olive midway between the midrib and margin; under surface of leaves rosy purple, furnishing a fine contrast. 20c. each. Ufassansreana—A beautiful aDd most useful dwarf-growing variety, especially adapted for use in connection with Ferns for filling Fern dishes, jardi- nieres, etc. Its leaves have an exquisite, silky ap- pearance and are beautifully covered with rich markings; the outer portion is olive-green, the mid- dle a silvery gray color, ornamented wTith large blotches of dark velvety purplish maroon. It is of a much neater habit of growth than the cut indicates. Fine plants, 25c. Otaheite Orange. This wonderful Orange is a regular natural little dwarf, growing no larger than a good specimen Ger- anium, and equally easy to manage. Incredible as it may seem, it has produced flowers and ripened its fruits perfectly in a 2-inch pot. Its beautiful blos- soms are produced in the greatest abundance, are as fine and large as other Orange flowers, and possess the same delicious fragrance. The fruits are about half the size of ordinary oranges, but of an insipid flavor. It is not unusual for the plant to produce a full crop of its exquisite flowers while yet full of its Eretty fruits. It is a plant of remarkable beauty, and as received unstinted praise from every quarter.
