An excellent bedding plant as well as a beautiful foliage plant for pot culture. It forms a compact bush 18 inches high, with leaves 6 to 9 inches long; of a beautiful, me- tallic purple, shading into light rose, with a light green margin, a combination unapproached by any other plant. The flowers are violet blue, borne in immense racemes. 15c. TWO NEW RUSSELIAS. Russelias are our finest basket and vase plants, and these two new varieties are worthy of special attention. Multiflora—Strong and vigorous grower, of graceful drooping habit. Flowers bright coral red, produced freely all over the plant. 15c. Elegantissima—Somewhat finer stemmed than Multi- flora, but fully as graceful in growth. Flowers soft red completely enveloping the plant. 15c. RUSSELIA JUNCEA. A basket plant of neat, slender habit, bearing its scarlet tubular flowers in great profusion the entire season. 10c. SWAINSONIA GALEGIFOLIA SWAINSONIA. A popular house plant blooming in sprays of 10 to 20 flowers, shaped much like sweet peas. A grand ever-bloom- ing plant, its pure white flowers are now used extensively in cut-flower work. 10c. Swainsonia Galeg-ifolia Rosea—One of the best plant introductions of recent years. It is identical with Galegifolia Alba except in color, which is rich, rosy red. 15c. SANSEVERIA ZEALANJCA. There is no decora- tive plant that is more attractive in habit and foliage than this, and none that will stand as much abuse and neg- lect. It will grow and flourish in any dark corner and will stand gas and dust or heat. Indeed, the only thing that seems to check it is too much water or frost. The leaves grow to a length of 3 to 4 feet, and are beautifully striped crosswise with broad white variegations on a dark green ground. Grows splendidly out of doors in summer. 15c; 2 for 25c.
