Our importation of these this year was exceptionally large and fine selected stock, especially in the medium size, for which there is always a demand. Price, nice plants, 12 to 15 inches high, 3 tiers, $ each; larger plants, 18 to 20 inches high, 4 and 5 tiers, $ each. ACALYPHA SANDERII. The Chenille or Comet Plant. (See illustration.) Leaves are dark green, from the axil of each of which springs a long, drooping spike of glowing crimson-scarlet flowers, nearly an inch in diameter and from eighteen to twenty-four inches long, very velvety in texture, reminding one of a long piece of brilliant chenille. An exceedingly curious and interesting novelty; unlike any other decorative plant. The accompanying illustration gives a better idea of the formation of this plant than any description that we can give. This plant is never out of bloom. It is bound to have a large sale on account of its oddity and rarity. Price, 15 cents each. ARAUCARIA EXCELSA. AMARYLLIS J0HNS0NII. One of the most gorgeous bulbous plants grown.

Price, 30 cts. each. Beautiful Plant for Center of Vases, or House Decoration. Antherieum Vitatum Folia Variegata. A beau- tiful plant, with recurved, gracef
