In the South, or where they cannot be planted in the shade of a covering of burlap or canvas, some six or eight feet above them, merely to throw off the sun's rays, will allow them to come to absolute perfection, but they must have plenty of light and air. Do not allow them to become dry; and during hot weather they will take two waterings When through flowering they can be dried off, shaken free of earth, wrapped in cotton until Feb- ruary or March, when they may be started again. SINGLE—White, Yellow, Crimson, Rose, Scarlet, 15 cents each; three for 50 cents. DOUBLE—In the same colors, 30c. each; two for 50c. BOUGAINVILLEA SANDERIANA. This beautiful free-flowering plant was introduced recently, and on account of its free-blooming qualities has become very popular, especially as a plant for Easter decorations. It is of a strong, rapid growth, and the brilliant rosy crimson blossoms in large racemes are produced from early March until mid-Sum- mer. In fact, a well-grown specimen will frequently flower the greater part of the year. Altogether a most desirable subject for the conservatory or window-garden.
