The flowers are of a brilliant deep red color; the fol- iage is very abundant, deep and glossy, and of a tine green color, spotted and margined with bronzed purple. It thrives everywhere and is equally good as a winter bloomer. Each 10c. Thurstoni.—A beautiful stately plant. The un- der 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; flowers rosy white; large clusters. Each 15c. Louise Erdody.—A striking peculiar variety of the Rex type, the leaves having a metallic lustre: dark silver in center, shading to coppery rose towards the mar- gin, the spiral twisting of the leaves, giving it a very curious appearance, making it entirely distinct from any other variety. Each 25c. Metalica.—This elegant variety has very large leaves shaded with green, crim- son and olive, with a peculiar metallic lustre over all. Flowers a clear pink, shaded white. Each 10c. Erfordi.—Very popular small variety. Each 10c. Rubra.—One of the finest: a constant bloomer: color scarlet rose
