Every garden must have its plants of odd, luxurious and ornamental foliage as well as those culti- vated only for their blossoms. They are necessary, for they lend to the garden an air of tropical grandeur which they alone can supply. In some plants, like the Beta and Amaranthus Rainbow, the foliage is as handsome and as Snely colored as blossoms. In others, like the Ricinus, it is gigantic, noble and palm- like. The following sorts are selected as the most ornamental as well as the most hardy and easily grown of all foliage plants, which are produced from Per pkt. AMARANTHUS RAINBOW. A beautiful foliage plant of most unique coloring. Inner foliage is a blackish bronze, while the outer foliage is glowing crimson, flamed with gold, bronze and green. A fine thing when well grown, and highly colored in July, August and September. The foliage of this plant shows all colors of the rainbow, hence its name 10 BETA. (Ornamental Beet.) These are among the most effective bedding plants, producing immense leaves, often two feet long and eight or nine inches broad and beautifully colored and crinkled. Planted in a bed together, one foot apart each way. they are grand. One great feature of these ornamental Beets is the fact that frost does not kill them, but only colors their leaves all the brighter (like a fancy Caladium), and until they are covered with snow, they are objects of great beauty.

A rapid growing plant of odd and beautiful appearance, resembling closely some of the finer varieties of Coleus. The leaves
