DREER-PHIIADEIPHIAM- NEW-" RARE PIAMTS DRAC^SNA KE^VENSIS. A new and distinct species which has been introduced from New Caledonia, and which is claimed by the introducers to be ahead of all others in hardiness, it being classed with the Aspidistra and Rubber Plant as a decorative plant. The persistent, leathery, lanceolate leaves are about 15 inches \on<y by 2-t to 3 inches broad, of a fresh, glossy pea-green color when young, changing to olive-green as they age ; the leaf stalks are red, and this, together with the dark and light green of the old and young leaves, gives the plant a pleasing and distinct appear- ance.

The Coral Plant has always been a favorite on account of its brilliant and interesting flowers, but its tall growth was an objection to its general cultivaiion, it frequently attaining a height of 6 feet before blooming.

These are of a brilliant crimson- scarlet, and are produced from early in July until frost ; an effective and showy plant that we can recommend for every garden. After fiost the plants may be lifted and stored in a dormant conditiork through the winter in a dry cellar, covering them with dry soil or sand. 50 cts. each ; $ per doz.
