. Annual illustrated and descriptive catalogue of new, rare and beautiful plants and seeds. Nurseries (Horticulture) Florida Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental Catalogs; Flowers Catalogs; Tropical plants Catalogs; Fruit trees Seedlings Catalogs. ASPIDISTRA LURIDA VARIEGATA. BAUHINIA. (Mountain Ebony.) An extensive genus of tropical plants, creepers, shrubs, and trees. Kingsley, while at Trinidad, speaks of "the Bauhinias, like tall and ancient white thorns, which shade the ; All are handsome in flower, and their curious two-lobed leaves always attract attention. B. alba. Flowers white. 50 cts. each. B. acuminata. Also a white-flowered species, blooming when less than a year old ; their broad, two-lobed leaves are very delicate and handsome. 25 cts. each. B. purpurea. A rapid growing shrub or small tree. Flowers purplish red ; very handsome. 25 cts. each. B. tomentosa. Flowers a clear bright yellow, with a large purple spot in the throat. 50 cts. each. B. variegata. Flowers red, marked with white and yel- low. 25 cts. AZALEA INDICA. BEGONIA. Nearly all the Begonias thrive very well here in partial shade, whether grown in pots or boxes. Care should be taken that the soil is not too compact; half sifted leaf- mold, and the other half yellow sand subsoil, make good material to grow them in. The following are the very best of the flowering varieties, and they will be found invaluable, whether used as bedding plants or for cut- flowers in winter : Argentea guttata. New. Purple-bronze leaves, with silvery markings. Flowers white. Bertha de Chateaurocher. Flowers bright red, very freely produced in large clusters. Rubra. Dark coral-red ; one of the best. Metallica. Crimson and maroon foliage. M. de Liesseps. A new Begonia, somewhat like Argenlea guttata, but with much larger leaves. President Carnot. Another new large-leaved variety. Leaves green on upper surface, purplish red beneath. Flowers beautiful coral red. Semperflorens alba. Flowers pure white. Semp
