COUNTESS LOUISE ERDODY. This variety is sometimes called "Snail Begonia" on account of the peculiar formation of the leaves. The form is exceedingly odd and unique. The striking peculiar- ity which distinguishes it from all other Begonias consists in the fact that the two lobes at the base of the leaf do not grow side by side, but one of them winds in a spiral-like way until in a full grown leaf there are four of these twists lying on top of the leaf nearly two inches high. The leaf has a metallio lustre, dark silvery in the centre, shading into coppery red towards the margin, which is broadly and evenly edged with the same hue, but darker and more brilliant. An exceedingly curious and interesting variety. Each, 20c. THURSTONI. A beautiful stately plant with remarkably handsome, glossy foliage. The under side of the leaves is a rich, purplish red, the veinings very prominent, while the face, or upper side, is a bronzy green, shaded with crimson and olive, with a peculiar glossy metallic lustre over all. Flowers rosy white in large clusters, well above the foliage. Each, 15c. MANICATA.
