Nice, strong pot grown plants, 10 cents each, 90 cents per dozen ; larger at 15 cents each, $ per dozen. HABROTHAMNUS coccineus, A very choice orna- mental, shrubby plant, related to Cestrum (which see). The rich, dark pink flowers are pendulous and borne in profusion, and are fol- lowed by purplish red berries (not edible) Very handsome. A fine pot-plant. 25 cts. each. HAMELIA patens. West Indies ; South Florida, along the coast. We have faith that this beau- tiful and almost unknown plant will become a favorite in greenhouse culture, where it de- serves a prominent place. The leaves have a purplish hue at some seasons of the year, and the flowers are of a bright orange-red color. In Florida it must surely become a favorite for open-air planting, as it is here rarely killed down by frost, and when it is, sprouts up \ readily from the root, and blooms the following summer. It is in bloom for many months dur- ' ing the summer, and we have no doubt could ' be forced at any season of the year. With age, 1 the Hamelia becomes a woody shrub 5 to 12 feet in height. 25 cents each. HEDYCHITJM coronarium. Ginger Lily, Butter- fly Lily. This magnificent plant flourishes best on low, moist land, where it will form a j dense clump 3 to 4 feet high. The mass of fra- grant pure white flowers, looking almost like large, white butterflies, are borne in large clus- j ters, terminal on every stalk. A splendid and desirable plant. If kept in the house in a grow- ing state, it blooms continuously. 15 cts. each, Si.
