Erdody Begonia. COUNTESS LOUISE ERDODY. The leaf has a metallic luster, dark-silvery in the center, shading to coppery-rose toward the margin. 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. Dur- ing the past season we have grown a fine lot of this rare Be- f:onia so that our patrons may rely upon getting tins beauti- ul novelty whenever ordered. Price, nice plants, 25 cts. each.

Quite a novelty in the Eex type. Leaves are in the form of leaf. Color is a bright green, with a back ground of chocolate; veins of a light pea-green, the whole leaf spotted with silver. In bloom it is magnificent, the panicles, com- posed of great numbers of individual pink blooms, are lifted high and spray-like quite clear of the foliage. Price, 15 cents each. Rex Begonia, MARQUIS DE PERALTA. One of the freest growing of Rex Begonias, throwing out great clusters of leaves, which are exquisitely beautiful. They are edged by a very nar- row band of silver of uniform width. This borders a bright green zone mottled in silver, which encloses the zone proper, which is a broad silver band about a dark-rayed center. Price, 20 cents each. QUADRICOLOR. Center a good red, surrounded by silver white zone, banded with light, soft green, with a raffled edge of bright red; very beautiful. Price, 15 cents
