COUNTESS LOUISE ERDODY BEGONIA. 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 peculiarity 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 metallic lustre, dark silvery in the center, shading into coppery rose toward the margin, which is broadly and evenly edged with tiie same hue, but darker and more brilliant. An exceedingly curious and interest- ing variety. Each 25c. NEW DOUBLE ABUTILON. Our cut well shows a leaf and flower of the new double flowering(Thompsoniipleria) Abutilon.
