ACALYPHA SANDERl Without a doubt the most sensational new plant introduced for many years, and one of the most striking flowering orna- mental plants we have ever seen. It is of strong, free growth, with large dark green leaves, from each axil of which, one to two feet long and nearly one inch thick, rope- like spikes of velvety crimson flowers are gracefully suspended, as shown in our illus- tration, which conveys but a faint idea of the beauty and distinct warm coloring of this splendid acquisition; but the remarka- ble floriferousness and the great size of the spikes of flowers (compared to the plant) is fairly well shown. The plant is in flower the year around, and is as easily grown as a coleus, simply requiring a warm tempera- ture to develop its full beauty (see cut). Price, 35c each. Tunnel Hill, III., May 26, 1899 Messrs. C. Young & Sons Co., St. Louis, Mo. Gentlemen—My flowers came all right, and are growing nicely. Thank you very much for the extra Geraniums which you sent me. I like your plants and seeds very much; in fact, better than any I have ever bought, and I have bought of a good many firms. Respectfully, Mrs. B. Acalypha Sanderi.
