AcALYPHA A grand plant for ornamental foliage effect in the garden. Leaf stems rise to the height of 4 to 5 feet, having immense Caladium-like leaves which are of a very dark green with a handsome metallic lustre which gives them a still darker appearance. Grows freely in any position, and makes a truly tropical appearance. Plants may be wintered in pots in pits or cellars. Nothing finer for ornamental bedding, or for single specimens. As a tub plant it is also immense, its luxuriant growth and the fine appearance of the dark shin- ing metallic leaves attracts attention when other plants are not noticed. 20c- each; 3 for 50c; 7 for $ This is one of the most gorgeous and peculiar flowering j plants thus far discovered.
