ACHYRANTHES PaKACIIB DE ACANTHUS MONTANUS. An attractive and interesting plant, not only on account of its peculiar flowers, but also for its remarkable foliage,which makes it a most desirable subject for the warm conservatory or greenhouse.

A beautiful new variegated form which, besides being a valu- able addition to our list of bedding plants, is sure to prove very useful as a pot plant for the window garden, and particularly so for planting in porch and window boxes, where its rich colors will be of decided value. The plant is of erect, bushy, sym- metrical habit of growth, with nearly round foliage, about 1'. inches across, of bright, cheerful green, densely reticulated and variegated with rich creamy-yellow, while the leaf stalks, as well as the stems of the plant itself, are bright crimson- carmine, forming a color combination rivalling that of many of An introduction from the Belgian Congo, and entirely distinct from all other varieties. The plant is of strong, climbing habit, with rather large, dark green, glossy foliage. It should prove a valuable addition, both for cutting and decorative purposes. $ each.
