New Dwarf Justicia " ; This New Dwarf JllSticia, so highly praised by Mr. Louis de Vilmorin in the Revue Horticole, is really a much finer and dwarfer plant than our engraving, made from an im- ported specimen, suggests. Everyone knows the tall, lanky, straggling habit of the old Justicia Rosea. This ?icw sort, which is now grown so extensively by Parisian florists, begins to bloom when the plant has only three or four leaves, and is never out of flower afterward. If pinched back occasionally it makes a very dwarf, stocky plant, frequently covered with 20 to 50 large pink flower-heads, lasting a long time. The foli- age is also more persistent and highly ornamental, being heavy in texture and very velvety. 30 cts. each, $3-00 per doz. Cyperus Alternifolius Gracilis.

It is most useful, either as an aquarium plant or as an ordinary house plant, succeeding under almost any condition. 20 cts. each, 6 for §
